Misc. on the DESKLINE®DL15/DL16 system
This system is a DESKLINE system developed for desks and for indoor use in offices. Do not use it in industrial kitchens or in
other environments that have to be cleaned with aggressive detergents.
Do not bolt the legs to the floor so that free movement is prevented. This could cause serious damage to the legs in error
situations.
Warranty
This DESKLINE product is subject to warranty pursuant to the terms of LINAK DESKLINE Warranty Paper, available on the LINAK
website www.linak.com/warranty.
Maintenance
Clean dust and dirt on the outside of the system at appropriate intervals and inspect them for damage and breaks.
Inspect the connections, cables and plugs and check for correct functioning as well as fixing points.
Service of double insulated products:
Class II
A Class II or double insulated electrical appliance is one which has been designed in such a way that it does not require a
safety connection to electrical earth (US: ground).
The basic requirement is that no single failure can result in dangerous voltage becoming exposed so that it might cause an
electric shock and that this is achieved without relying on an earthed metal casing. This is usually achieved at least in part by
having two layers of insulating material surrounding live parts or by using reinforced insulation.
There is no earthing/grounding means provided on the product, and no earthing/grounding means is to be added to the
product.
In Europe, a double insulated appliance must be labelled “Class II”, “double insulated” or bear the double insulation symbol (a
square inside another square).
Servicing a double insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and is to be done only by qualified
service personnel. Replacement parts for a double insulated product must be identical to the parts they replace.
The cleaners and disinfectants must not be highly alkaline or acidic (pH value 6-8).

Description of the DESKLINE®system
Each DESKLINE®actuator/column is equipped with a motor and parallel/memory drive is ensured by means of software in the
CBD6S that also takes account of an oblique load on the desk. Soft start and stop are also part of this software, which ensures
a soft start and stop when adjusting the desk.
Application of the DESKLINE®system:
Irrespective of the load the duty cycle 10% ~ 6 min./ hour or max. 2 min. at continuous use stated in the data sheets,
must NOT be exceeded as this will result in a superheating of the motor, the brake and the spindle nut. Exceeding the duty
cycle will result in a dramatic reduction of the life of the system.
The system range contains the following products:
• 1 control box CBD6S 200W or CBD6S 300W (SMPS - Switch Mode Power Supply)
• 1 single DL15/DL16 or 2, 3 or 4 parallel
• 1 exchangeable mains cable
• 1, 2, 3 or 4 motor cables
• 1 DP1U/DPF1M (if memory function is required) DP1C/WDPL/DPT/DPF1C/DP1CS (if memory function and display are
required) or 1 DPA/DPB/DP1K/DP1V/DPF1K (if only up/down is required) DPF1D (if display is required)

Mounting guidelines for the DESKLINE®DL15/DL16 system
The lifting units are normally mounted with the motor housings upwards and pointing towards each other. The steel
motor housing is supplied with 6 pcs. of M6 threaded holes meant for mounting on the desk frame.
It is recommended to use all 6 pcs of the M6 threaded holes. As the tabletop amplifies the sound we advise you to
place a vibration/shock-absorbing material between the tabletop and the table frame.
The motor housing is supplied with 6 pcs. of M6 threaded holes meant for mounting on the desk frame. We advise you to
fasten the desk frame by means of 6 pcs. of M6 screws of a good quality and a suitable length, which must not go further into
the motor housing than max.10 mm. The thrust moment must not exceed max. 7.5 Nm.
Use all 6 threaded mounting holes M6 for screws.
Thrust moment is 7.5Nm
DL motor housing: be aware of the screw length.

Page 14 of 29
Mounting guidelines for the DL15 (foot part)
The DL15 is supplied with 4 threaded holes M6 for mounting of the foot. We advise you to fasten the foot by means of 4
screws M6 of a good quality (min. 8.8) and of a suitable length. M6 screws must not go further than 20 mm into the DL15
column. The thrust moment must not exceed 10 Nm in the bottom plate thread.
Mounting guidelines for the DL16 (foot part)
The DL16 bottom is supplied with 4 M6 threaded holes meant for mounting of the foot. We advise you to fasten the desk foot
by means of 4 pcs. M6 screws of a good quality (min. 8.8) and a suitable length. M6 screws must not go further than 20 mm
into the DL16 column. The thrust moment must not exceed 10 Nm in the bottom plate thread.
The 4 holes in the bottom of the column are
placed from each other 45/20 mm respectively.
The 4 holes in the bottom of the column are
placed from each other 45/20 mm respectively.

Page 15 of 29
A suitable desk height in the lowest position can be obtained by mounting the lifting unit on a 6-8 mm bottom plate by means
of 4 pcs. of M6 countersinked screws.We recommend you to use screws of min. quality 8.8.The thrust moment must not
exceed 10 Nm in the bottom plate thread.
Mounting of the desk (misc.)

Example of how to mount a 2 parallel DESKLINE® DL15/DL16 system
To avoid damage of the lifting unit there must be min. 1 mm space between the end of the screw for the mounting
bracket and the surface of the lifting unit (see figure 1). The use of any longer screws will come into contact with the
inner parts. This will result in an irregular operation or even damage the lifting unit.
The DESKLINE®DL15/DL16 system can only be used in push applications with the motor housing mounted upwards.
The end stop system in the DL is based on a buffer system meaning that you must be aware of the lengths when
initialising. The products must be able to drive:
Inward direction: built-in dimension - tolerances – 5 mm
Outward direction: built-in dimension + stroke length + tolerances + 5 mm
Placement of a monitor directly above the motor housing may cause malfunction of the monitor. Magnets inside the motor
may interrupt the picture on the monitor depending on the distance and type of monitor. If this is the case, the problem may
be solved by placing an iron plate/tube or another magnetic material, somewhat larger than the motor housing, between the
motor and the desktop.
Approx. 5 mm

Installation of CBD6S (SMPS)
Do not pack the CBD6S in heat insulating material.
Place the CBD6S so it can emit heat through its surface to the surroundings.
Mounting the CBD6S
1. Plug the mains cable into the CBD6S.
2. Place the mains cable in the groove for cable relief.
3. If needed, place the other cables in the grooves to optimise the desk design and manage the system cables.
4. Mount the CBD6S using two screws with a head diameter of 10 mm (8 to 10 mm can be used).
5. Fasten the mounting screws (max. torque 1 Nm).
Notes:
• If the control box is mounted in a top frame bar with the width of the motor housing, it can be mounted with one screw only
• The surface to which the control box is mounted should have an evenness better than ±0.5 mm
• The control box can also be mounted using one or two M6 nuts and screw counterparts, see Dimensional drawings
• The mains plug must be accessible when the CBD6S is mounted so that the supply to the CBD6S can be disconnected
if replacement is required.
For mounting and operation of the desk panel, please see the separate user manual for desk panels.

Electric connection of the DL15/DL16 system
The control box must only be connected to the voltage stated on the label.
It is important to ensure that the motor cables are fixed, but not tightened, near the control box and near the columns.
Fix the cable to the tabletop using a clip observing the 30 mm minimum bending radius (R).
Connecting the system
1. Connect the first DL/DB to socket 1 next to port A2 on the control box using the 6-pin plug on the motor cable.
Channel 1 is the channel closest to the control port.
2. Connect further DL/DB to sockets 2, 3 and 4 in sequence.
3. Connect the desk panel to control port A1 or control port A2.
4. Check that the voltage stated on the label corresponds to the mains power.
If not, do not plug in mains cable.
5. Plug in the mains cable.
6. Switch on the power.

Initialisation of the DESKLINE DL15/DL16 parallel system
The DESKLINE system is intialised by pressing the down button once or twice and holding it down until the DL15/DL16 runs
into end stop. It will then automatically run approx. 3 mm out again and hereafter slowly run in again. Do not release the
down button until the movement has stopped completely.
If the button is released before the sequence is completed then the initialisation is interrupted and must be started
again from the beginning.
It is sometimes necessary to press the down button twice to start the initialisation, this is because the system can be in
different modes when the initialisation starts.
