Important information
LINAK®products, within the scope of this manual, are not classified as medical electrical equipment or systems, nor do they fall within the scope of
the EU Medical Device Directive/Regulation or other similar national regulations. The products are components to be built into a piece of medical
electrical equipment by a manufacturer.
To support the assessment and certification task of the complete medical electrical equipment or system worldwide, LINAK provides certification,
on a component level, according to the IEC 60601-1, (Medical electrical equipment – Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential
performance) as IEC-certificate and listed as recognised components by NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories).
Description of the various signs used in this manual:
Warning
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in accidents involving serious personal injury.
Recommendation
Failing to follow these instructions can result in product damage.
Please read the following safety information carefully:
It is important for everyone who is to connect, install or use the systems to have the necessary information and access to this User Manual.
Please be aware that LINAK has taken precautions to ensure the safety of the actuator system. The manufacturer/OEM is responsible for the overall
approval of the complete application.
LINAK recommends to use the actuators in push applications rather than pull applications.
LINAK actuators are not to be used for repeated dynamic push-to-pull movements.
For general pull applications or repeated dynamic push-to-pull movements in the application, please contact LINAK A/S if in doubt.
LINAK®actuators and electronics generally fall outside the IEC 60601-1 definition of applied parts and are not marked as such.
However, assessing the risk whether actuators and electronics can unintentionally come into contact with the patient, determines that they are
subject to the requirements for applied parts. All the relevant requirements and tests of the standard are carried out as part of the IEC CB-Scheme
assessment.
RF transmitter properties:
Some LINAK products emit RF-power by intention for communication purposes.
Frequency band of transmission: 2400 MHz – 2485 MHz.
Type: BLUETOOTH Low Energy BLE 4.2
Modulation: GFSK
Maximum Effective Radiated Power (ERP): 10 dBm
Output ratings:
Nominal values:
On LINAK control boxes, battery boxes and power supply marking plates, the nominal output voltage at a certain load for a certain product may be
stated.
Depending on product and load, this value may vary significantly due to construction.
The expected output voltage may for instance vary depending on product and load within a range from approximately 20 V DC to approximately 50 V
DC for a product with a nominal output voltage of 24 V DC due to the construction.
When combining LINAK control boxes, battery boxes and power supplies with other LINAK components, compatibility is ensured. When combining
LINAK control boxes, battery boxes or power supplies with third party products, special precautions may be taken. In this case, contact LINAK.
Classification:
The equipment is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.

Page 8 of 192
Warning
Electromagnetic compatibility – third party components
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified by LINAK could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or
decreased electromagnetic immunity of the actuator system and result in improper operation.
Warning
Electromagnetic compatibility – interference with other equipment in general
Use of the actuator system adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided as this could result in improper operation. If such
use is necessary, the actuator system and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating properly.
If the user notes unusual behavior of the actuator system, in particular if such behaviour is intermittent and associated with the standing
right next to mobile phones, microwaves and radio broadcast masts, this could be an indication of electromagnetic interference.
If such behaviour occurs, try to move the actuator system further away from the interfering equipment.
Warning
Electromagnetic compatibility – interference with other equipment, RF communications
Portable RF communication equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used at a distance
no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the actuator system. This also applies to cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, a
performance degradation of this equipment could result.
Warning
If the actuator or lifting column is used for pull in an application where personal injury can occur, the following is valid:
The medical device manufacturer is responsible for the incorporation of a suitable safety arrangement, which will prevent personal injury
from occurring in case of actuator failure.
Warning
Note that during construction of applications, in which the actuator is to be fitted, there must be no possibility of personal injury, for
example the squeezing of fingers or arms.
Warning
The plastic parts in the system cannot tolerate cutting oil.
Warning
Assure free space for movement of the application in both directions to avoid a blockade.
Warning
The application and actuators are only to be operated by instructed personnel.
Warning
In applications with spline function, the blockage by an obstacle when the application is moving inwards, the removal of the obstacle will
cause the load to drop until the spindle hits the nut.
Warning
Do not turn the outer tube.
Warning
Do not use chemicals.
Warning
Inspect the actuator system regularly for damage and wear.
Warning
Do not expose LINAK actuator system components to high intensity ultraviolet radiation disinfection lamps. This may damage the enclosure,
supporting parts and cables.
Warning
Electromagnetic compatibility - general
LINAK®actuator systems bear the CE marking as an attestation of compliance with the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. The systems are
designed to meet all requirements of applicable standards and have been tested to meet IEC 60601-1-2 requirements.
Emission:
LINAK Actuator Systems are CISPR 11, Group 1, Class B products, comply with IEC 61000-3-2, Class A and IEC 61000-3-3 unless stated
otherwise in the relevant section of this document.
Immunity:
Test levels are according to Professional Healthcare Facility and Home Healthcare Facility Environment.
Electromagnetic phenomena are evaluated on a system level, with the actuator connected to a LINAK control box and accessories.
LINAK always recommends to perform verification tests on the final medical device.

Page 9 of 192
Warnings
LINAK®actuators and electronics are not designed for use within the following fields:
• Planes and other aircrafts
• Explosive environments
• Nuclear power generation
Warning
If faults are observed, the products must be replaced.
Warning
A LINAK control box, actuator and accessory component must, in the final application, be placed where it is not exposed to any impact.This
is to prevent damage if a passer-by accidentally hits it with an object or when cleaning the floor with a broom or a mop. On a medical bed
e.g. this might be underneath the mattress support platform. If necessary to mitigate this risk, additional protection might be required.
Warning
Handle batteries carefully. Do not short circuit the battery.
Warning
Avoid continuous battery discharge when the medical device is not in use, as this may cause lead sulphate formation, which, if left in this
state for too long, will irreversibly damage the battery.
Warning
To avoid unintended movement, prevent foreign objects or persons from unintentionally activating a footswitch or a hand control at any
time, for instance during normal use or maintenance.
Warning
LINAK battery packs may emit flammable gases. Do not expose the battery packs to fire or equipment that emits sparks. Moreover, do
not store the battery in a closed environment or incorporate it into a closed structure of an enclosure as this may cause an explosion, fire,
equipment damage, or injury.
Warning
Handle tools carefully and do not wear jewelery when handling batteries. A short-circuit of the battery terminals can cause burn injuries,
damage or trigger explosions.
Warning
Only connect LINAK batteries to compatible chargers.
Warning
LINAK battery packs contain toxic substances. If the internal battery fluid leaks out and gets onto skin or clothing, make sure it is washed off
with clean water. Moreover, if the fluid gets into the eyes, rinse them immediately with clean water and seek medical assistance.
Warning
Do not use or store LINAK battery packs in places where the ambient temperature exceeds 50 °C, such as inside a hot automobile, in direct
sunlight, or in front of a stove or a source of intense heat. Doing so can shorten the battery life, lower its performance level, cause the
battery to leak fluid, explode, cause fire, or be damaged.

Recommendation
Important information regarding lithium ion batteries
Li-Ion batteries are moving in the direction of minimising the physical size and at the same time increasing the capacity. This gives a very size-effective
battery but with a high concentration of energy within a small physical size. It also increases the risk of thermal runaway (see note below) due to
internal short circuits.
The general use of Li-ion batteries has increased and the inherent risk of thermal runaway has led to stricter rules within the transport industry,
specifically air transport, with tightened restrictions placed on the quantity to be transported and handled, and on the storage of specific products
moving via air.
The OEMs and end users must recognise that although safe to use, there is still a very small risk of thermal runaway in a Li-Ion cell. The size of that
risk could be as little as 1PPM or even less.
LINAK®currently bases our Li-Ion battery design on industry proven cell types that have a proven history (e.g. electric cars). The use of well-proven
cell technology reduces the risk of thermal runaway, but it does not eliminate it. LINAK has completed activities to reduce this risk and the complete
battery package is UL approved.
An external, internationally recognised expert has also reviewed the design to ensure that it is in accordance with the recommendations. Further to
that, LINAK only uses cells from well-recognised manufacturers.
When using Li-Ion batteries, LINAK recommends that the customer carries out a proper risk analysis for their application. The risk analysis must also
focus on non-mounted products that can be in direct contact with flammable materials.
LINAK Li-Ion batteries have no more risk of thermal runaway compared to other Li-Ion cells from well-recognised manufacturers within the market.
Therefore, it is clear that LINAK cannot take responsibility for any failures that occur due to Li-Ion battery inherent failures.
If any of the Li-Ion batteries built into LINAK products is found to be defective under warranty, LINAK will provide a new product to the OEM. LINAK
explicitly disclaims all other remedies. LINAK shall not in any event be liable under any circumstances for any special indirect punitive incidental or
consequential damages or losses arising from any incident related to the inherent risk of thermal runaway in the Li-Ion cell and any use of LINAK
products. Moreover, LINAK explicitly disclaims lost profits, failure to realise expected savings, any claim against our customers by a third party, or any
other commercial or economic losses of any kind, even if LINAK has been advised of the possibility of such damages or losses.
Note: ‘Thermal runaway’ is overheating of a cell and it could lead to a small fire and smoke from the cell.
Transportation
The lithium ion batteries must be packed and transported in accordance with applicable regulations. Always ask your local transportation provider
how to handle the transportation of lithium ion batteries.
Please see the general assembly instructions and the mounting section for detailed information.
Recommendation
The duty cycle printed on the actuator system label must always be respected. If exceeded, there is a risk that the actuator system is
damaged. Unless otherwise specified on the label, the duty cycle is max. 10%, max. 2 min. in use followed by 18 min. not in use.

Page 11 of 192
Warnings
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in accidents involving serious personal injury.
• If there is visible damage on the product it should not be installed.
• If the actuator system makes unusual noise or smells, switch off the mains voltage immediately.
• The products must only be used in an environment that corresponds to their IP protection class.
• The cleaners and disinfectants must not be highly alkaline or acidic (pH value 6-8).
• Irrespectively of the load, the duty cycle stated on the product label must NOT be exceeded.
• The control box must only be connected to the voltage stated on the label.
• Systems not specified for pull must only be used in push applications.
• Fastening screws and bolts must be tightened correctly.
• Specifications on the product label must under no circumstances be exceeded.
• NOT TO BE OPENED BY UNAUTHORISED PERSONS.
• Only use the actuator within specified working limits.
• Be aware that during the design of medical devices, the risk of personal injury (for instance squeezing of fingers or arms) must be minimised.
• If irregularities are observed, the actuator must be replaced.
Generel assembly instructions
Please read the following safety information carefully. Ensure that all staff who are to connect, mount, or use the actuator system are in possession of
the necessary information and that they have access to these assembly instructions.
Persons who do not have the necessary experience or knowledge of the product/products should not use the product/products. Moreover, persons
with reduced physical or mental abilities must not use the product/products, unless they are under surveillance or they have been thoroughly
instructed in the use of the equipment by a person who is responsible for the safety of these persons. Moreover, children must be under surveillance

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
LINAK®considers ESD to be an important issue and years of experience have shown that equipment designed to meet the levels specified in standards
might be insufficient to protect electronic equipment in certain enviroments.
1. Handling and mounting electrostatic discharge sensitive devices (ESDS devices).
• Handling of sensitive components shall only take place in an ESD Protected Area (EPA) under protected and controlled conditions.
• Wrist straps and/or conductive footwear (personal grounding) shall always be used when handling ESDS devices.
• Sensitive devices shall be protected outside the EPA by the use of ESD protective packaging.
2. Responsibility LINAK/customer.
• ESDS devices must under no circumstances, during transport, storage, handling, production or mounting in an application, be exposed to harmfull ESD.
• LINAK can only guarantee the lifetime of ESDS devices if they are handled in the same way from production at LINAK A/S until they are mounted
in the manufacturer’s application. It is therefore important that the ESDS devices are not removed from the ESD protected packaging before they
are physically within the EPA area at the customer premises.
Please refer to EN61340 for further information:

IP Protection degree
The products can be cleaned as described in the following according to their IP protection stated on the product label.
The IP code specifies the protection degree provided by the enclosures. For most products, only the protection against ingress of water (second
characteristic numeral) is specified, ingress of solid foreign objects or dust (first characteristic numeral) is not specified and therefore replaced by the
letter X in the code.
IP protection Cleaning instructions
IPX0 Clean with a damp cloth
IPX1 Clean with a damp cloth
IPX2 Clean with a damp cloth
IPX3 Clean with a damp cloth
IPX4 Clean with a damp cloth
IPX5 Wash with a brush and water, but not water under pressure
IPX6 Wash with a brush and water. The water can be under pressure, but the system must not be cleaned
directly with a high pressure cleaner. Max. 20 oC

Mounting
Actuator:
Do not use any other screws for the mounting brackets than those recommended by LINAK®. If longer screws are used, they will come into contact
with the inner parts of the actuator. This will result in an irregular operation or even damage the actuator.
During mounting, the actuator must always be:
• Fixed to protect it against torque and bending. See Figure 2 on the next page.
• Fixed so that it is restrained, but free to move on its mountings. See Figure 3 on the next page.
• Fixed in brackets, which can take up the torque reaction. See Figure 3 on the next page.
• Mounted at right angles so that the right angle requirement is observed. See Figure 4 on the next page.
• Mounted with correct bolt dimension.
• Mounted with bolts and nuts made of high quality steel grade (for example 10.8). No thread on bolts inside the back fixture or the piston rod eye.
• Bolts and nuts must be protected from being able to fall out.
• Inspect the actuator for damage before mounting. A damaged actuator must not be mounted. Check for instance for damaged packaging.
• Do not use a too high tourque when mounting the bolts for the back fixture or the piston rod eye
Control boxes:
• The mounting screws on the control box must be tightened with a maximum torque of 1 Nm
• The mounting surface to which the control box is attached should have a surface evenness better than ± 0.5 mm.
• Systems must not be installed/deinstalled while in operation.
• Control boxes with a wet alarm must be mounted as shown on figure 5 on the next page.
• Nuts and bolts must be made of steel.
• Nuts and bolts must be tightened securely.
• For control boxes with earth connection (Class 1), the nut must be tightened with a torque of 1 - 1.2 Nm.
Cables:
It is important to remove the transport plastic bag before using the cable.
Accessories:
The mounting screws on accessories must be tightened with a maximum torque of 1 Nm
• The mounting surface to which the accessory is attached should have a surface evenness of more than ± 0.5 mm
• Systems must not be installed/deinstalled while in operation
• Nuts and bolts must be made of steel
• Nuts and bolts must be tightened securely
Controls:
The mounting screws on the controls must be tightened with a maximum torque of 1 Nm
• The mounting surface to which the accessory is attached should have a surface evenness of more than ± 0.5 mm
• Systems must not be installed/deinstalled while in operation
• Nuts and bolts must be made of steel
• Nuts and bolts must be tightened securely
For further instructions regarding mounting, see the data sheet for the individual product or in chapter 5, 6 or 8
in this manual.
