DESK SENSORTM (Optional):
The Desk Sensor™ 1 (DS1) is an Anti-Collision™ solution which can limit material
damage to a desk or an object if a collision occurs during driving of the desk. The DS1
is a small, compact plug-in adapter based on gyroscope-technology, and it detects
even a little tilting of the desk when the desk is driving up or down. Upon detected
tilting, the system stops and drives in the opposite direction to avoid collision
and damage to the desk or the object. The DS1 can detect both hard and soft
obstacles.
The DS1 can be plugged into either port “A1” or “A2”.

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF
YOUR NEW SIT-STAND DESK:
SIT-STAND GUIDE FOR A HEALTHY WORKING ROUTINE.
Want to bring movement to the office and help your
employees stay healthy? Below are a few tips on how electric
sit-stand desks and motivational tools help create healthy
office habits. Standing for eight minutes every 30 minutes
makes a huge difference.
For every 30 minutes: Move for two minutes, stand for eight
minutes, sit for 20 minutes
Several studies show that breaking up physical inactive peri-
ods will help minimize their negative health effects. Electric
sit-stand desks bring movement in the office, and this is what
it is all about. As it is neither healthy to stand nor to sit all
day, the ideal situation is to switch between standing and
sitting and to move around as much as possible throughout
the day.
In fact, experts claim that the ideal sit-stand
balance for every 30 minutes is to:
• Stand for eight minutes
• Move/stretch for two minutes
• Sit in neutral positions for 20 minutes
Choose a desk system designed to help office
workers stay active
Changing habits is not an easy task. But there are ways to help
develop healthy habits. To support office workers, LINAK made
an extra effort to design user-friendly office desk systems and
motivating desk accessories.
The desk switch with integrated sit-stand reminders
The most visible part of a sit-stand desk is the desk switch.
If a desk is easy to control, changing postures during the day
becomes an easier task. Most LINAK desk switches include
memory position functions, allowing users to store their
favorite desk heights, and making it easier to switch between
their preferred sit and stand position.
For intuitive desk handling, LINAK designed the desk switch
DPG series. It is designed for operating without the use
of buttons. Advanced models include sit-stand reminder
functions via an integrated LED diode / light strip – its color
indicating to the user when it is time to stand up.
Personal sit-stand statistics and tracking via mobile
devices
Most LINAK desk systems also allow users to receive sit-stand
reminder notifications and to follow his/her personal statistics
via their mobile device, using the free Desk Control™App. It
works via Bluetooth®wireless technology and is available for
Android and iOS devices.

BENEFITS OF MOVING
Using LINAK lifting columns and linear actuator systems brings
numerous benefits when integrated with adjustable office
desks, industrial and technical workstations, and kitchens.
It is difficult to accommodate a diverse workforce with a
standard “one size fits all” desk. Adjustable desks give users
the option to choose a working position that is best suited to
their body. This helps eliminate discomfort caused by a “desk
that does not fit” – insufficient leg space and keyboards/
monitors that are in a position that is too high for the user.
Increase the productivity of your staff
People need to get out of their chair and move at least
five minutes per hour. Micro-breaks reduce fatigue. Many
employees do not have the flexibility to get away from
their workstations every hour. Using a sit-stand desk allows
employees to take a break from their static posture without
leaving their area.
Create flexible workstations
Electric adjustable desks allow users to comfortably and
quickly adjust to the task at hand by the touch of a button.
For instance, if a colleague or a customer drops by, it is no
problem... you can adjust the desk to a group working level
and meet in comfort. As an added bonus, when you stand
you can keep meetings and “on the fly” interruptions shorter.
Improve employee health and wellbeing
Studies have shown that alternating between sitting and
standing results in less discomfort and reduces the amount
of fatigue many people feel at the end of the workday.
Workplace physical activity programs have also been shown to
reduce sick days by up to 32 percent (source: James A Levine,
MD, PhD, Mayo Clinic and Selene Yeager).
A study from the Mayo Clinic shows you can burn an
additional 340 calories a day if you spend two hours of your
workday standing instead of sitting.
Prevent injuries
Fitting the workstation to your individual needs can reduce
the causes of work-related stress. Alternating between
sitting and standing and reduces these risks much further by
avoiding problems caused by static posture or positions.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Glossary of Common Terms
• Components
» Desk leg (DL) – The lifting columns, typically with powder coated steel profiles, responsible for lifting the working load of
the application.
» Control box (CBD6S) – Both the computer and power supply of the system.
» Desk switch (DP) – The user interface. Depending on the model, it is used to activate the application, set memory
positions, display the height, display error codes, connect to mobile apps, and give reminders to the user.
» Motor cable – Transmits low voltage power (18-39 VDC) from the control box to the desk legs, and also transmits PIEZO
signals when available from the desk leg.
» Mains cable – Transmits high voltage power (120 VAC in US and Canada) to the control box.
• Other
» Initialize – Procedure to reset all desk legs to the fully retracted position so that the control box knows where they are.
» Reference – Any group of desk legs that run in parallel when an Up or Down command is sent to the control box. It is
possible to have a custom control box configuration that allows for more than one Reference. [Example: Two (2) desk
legs on Reference #1 (Channels #1 and #2) to lift a work surface, and one (1) LA31 on Reference #2 (Channel 3) to adjust
a monitor array.]
Standard Troubleshooting Procedures
P1 – Initialize the control box (“reset”)
Note: This is commonly the solution when a complaint is that a desk will move down but not up. When a control box requires
initialization, this is how the system is programmed to behave.
STEP 1. Hold Down button on desk switch to ensure the desk is retracted to its lower limit (whether it’s the fully retracted hard
stop, or a configured lower limit).
STEP 2. Briefly release Down
STEP 3. Press and hold Down for 5 seconds, wait until all desk movement has stopped, then release
a. If initialization is successful, you should see a slight up/down “handshake” movement of the desk legs
b. If you have a desk switch with display, you should also see E01 during this part of the procedure.
P2 – Check all cable connections
STEP 1. Mains cable, connected to both the control box and power outlet.
STEP 2. All motor cables, connected to both the control box and desk leg.
a. Assuming a standard control box configuration, these must be connected in channels 1 and 2, or channels 1, 2 and
3 for a 3-leg table. They can’t be connected in channels 1 and 3 or 2 and 3 unless there is a configuration on the
control box specifying this arrangement.
STEP 3. Desk switch cable, connected to the control box in either port A1 or A2 (doesn’t matter which).

Symptom Procedure
System will move down but not up 1. Initialize (P1)
System unresponsive (no power to
display with any button is pressed).
If any of these steps activates the
digital display, initialize the system
(P1).
1. Check mains cable connection
2. Test power outlet using another device (lamp, phone charger, etc.)
3. Plug in a new switch and test
4. Connect all existing cables to a new control box and test
System is powered, but will not
initialize
1. Try pressing and releasing the down button a few times before pressing and holding
for 5 seconds.
2. Also, be aware if the control box has a special configuration: If the desk is
programmed with a lower stroke limit, so as to avoid a collision with something like
a file cabinet, it is possible that it also has a custom, longer Forced Initialization
Time. This is the time required to hold Down before initialization begins. Sometimes
this is 10 seconds or longer.
3. If you have a standard control box without a special configuration (i.e. “Plug &
Play”), try to initialize each leg in Channel 1 by itself, with nothing else plugged into
the motor channels on the control box. Also, swap the motor cables so that a
different motor cable is used to initialize Channel 1 by itself. The problem could be a
faulty desk leg or a faulty motor cable.
Channel-specific error (Ex: E41 –
Channel 1 overload) – Everything
except PIEZO errors (E59-E63)
1. Swap the motor cable connections at the control box (Motor cable #1 from channel
1 to 2, motor cable #2 from channel 2 to 1). If It remains E41, there could be a
problem with the application (load or obstruction on one side) or a bad control box.
If the error changes to E42, go to step 2.
2. Swap the motor cable connections at the desk legs, so that the leg that was
originally connected to Channel 1 is back in Channel 1, but with the motor cable
that was originally connected to Channel 2. If it remains E42, it is most likely a bad
motor cable, now connected to Channel 2. If it goes back to E41, it is most likely a
bad desk leg, now connected to Channel 1.
P3 – Check for obstructions
STEP 1. Check under, above and on the sides of the desk for any obstructions that could prevent movement in either direction.
The next two procedures (P4 and P5) are for a two leg desk system. The same concepts can be used for a three leg system using Channel
3 and so forth.
P4 – Check for faulty component(s) WITH error codes (digital display on desk switch, or on app via Bluetooth).
Notes: Check the error code list in the appendix of this troubleshooting guide for assistance. The code should read E##. Some
error codes are channel-specific which can help pinpoint the problem.
