1. Preface
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing a COMPACT control unit for electric height-adjustable desks
from LOGICDATA Electronic & Software Entwicklungs GmbH. You are now in
possession of a state-of-the-art product that complies with all the relevant safety
requirements.
1.1 Intended use
COMPACT control units may only be used for the intended purpose, i.e. to control
electric height-adjustable desks. Only motors that meet LOGICDATA specifications
may be used to drive the lifting devices. The control units must be installed, put into
operation and their function checked by qualified personnel. Using them to control
other motors or installing them in products other than electric height-adjustable desks
is only permissible with the prior written consent of LOGICDATA. Their basic
function is upward and downward adjustment of the desktop, which can be controlled
with all the handswitches available.
1.2 COMPACT control unit functionality
The COMPACT control units incorporate the following features (the availability of
some of the features depends on the handswitch used):
•High efficient switch mode power supply (SMPS)
•Low standby power consumption, low field emission
•Control units with US and EU input voltage available
•Up to 2 motor groups
•ISP (Intelligent System Protection)
•Enhanced Drive Comfort
•Safety area
•Container- and Shelf-Stop
•Low speed area
•InBox Diagnosis
•LogicConnector DATA for sensors and cascading
•Additional functions are available, depending on the handswitch model used
(e.g. saving desktop positions, adjusting the desktop to saved positions, etc.)
•A wide selection of LOGICDATA handswitches is available for the control units

Page 5 / 43
1.3 Target group and previous knowledge
This user manual addresses the following people:
•Technicians who assemble and put electric height-adjustable desks into operation
(by installing motors and control units, configuring control units, etc.)
•Furniture assembly, service and maintenance personnel who put electric height-
adjustable desks into operation in showrooms or at the customer’s
The following is required for installing, operating and configuring electric height-
adjustable desks with COMPACT control units:
•Basic mechanical and electrical skills (with suitable qualifications)
•Reading the user manual
1.4 Symbols used in safety instructions
This user manual contains safety instructions with symbols drawing your attention to
possible dangers and residual risks. They indicate the following:
Danger: this warning symbol advises you of imminent danger to people’s
lives and health.
Failure to observe this warning may result in health problems, serious
injuries and damage to property.
Caution: this warning advises you of possible dangers from electric
current.
Failure to observe this warning may cause injuries and damage to
property.
Note: this symbol advises you of important information that must be
noted for operating the COMPACT control unit safely.
Danger: this warning advises you of a possible risk of body parts being
trapped or pinched in exceptional cases.
Failure to observe this warning may result in health problems, serious
injuries and damage to property.
Note: you must read the user manual.

Page 6 / 43
1.5 ISP (Intelligent System Protection)
ISP is an electronic state-of-the-art protection system developed by LOGICDATA. It
also substantially reduces the risk of fingers being trapped or pinched.
Danger: in spite of ISP being in place, there may still be a risk of
pinching in exceptional cases, as it is not only the control unit, but also
the interaction between the mechanical and electronic systems that is
responsible for cutting out the motor. In addition, the mechanical
components, motor and ambient conditions all affect cut-out sensitivity.
As the control unit manufacturer, LOGICDATA cannot therefore
eliminate this residual risk completely or accept any liability.
Note: the ISP-sensitivity and the ISP-cutoff value depend on the whole
system (mechanical and electrical components). To evaluate the ISP-
capability of a height adjustable table, please contact LOGICDATA!
Please note the following for maximizing ISP functionality:
To ensure the best possible pinch protection, a mechanical brake must be fitted that
is applied when the electric height-adjustable desk moves down.
Note: without a mechanical brake, cut-out sensitivity may be reduced
under load. However, if there is no load on the desktop, ISP will function
properly even without a brake.
Note: as soon as ISP has stopped the electric height-adjustable desk
from moving, you can then only adjust the desktop in the opposite
direction (the safety feature initially prevents you from adjusting the desk
in the same direction as triggered it).
