automatically run approximately 5 mm out again and then
slowly run in again. Do not release the ( ) button until
5 seconds after all movement has completely stopped.
Note: It is sometimes necessary to press the ( )
button twice to start initialization. There may be a short
delay before movement begins.
Note: If the ( ) button is released before the

Other Functions:
Adjusting Initial Height
It may be necessary to adjust the displayed height due to different
thicknesses of desktops. The control will display 24.5 inches as the default
desk height.
Procedure:
a. Press ( ) and ( ) keys at the same time and keep them pressed
for 5 seconds. This allows the initial height to be adjusted. Until the initial
height is adjusted, the display will show three minuses(---). Hereafter the
display will revert to showing the height.
b. The height can then be adjusted by either ( ) or ( ) until desired
height has been reached. The system will return to normal operation (and
give a short blink) after 5 seconds of inactivity on the keys.

ANTI-COLLISION FEATURE
Method of operation
The control box monitors the electric consumption on each lifting column. If the
electric consumption on one channel is increased more than a predefined slope, a
collision is assumed. All channels are stopped immediately and all desk legs will start
to run in the opposite direction (approximately 50 mm). The anti-collision sensitivity is
different in upward and downward direction. Upwards the force is approximately 20
kg. Downwards the load will be approximately 40 kg + the load on the desk lifting
column (the desk + what is on top of the desk).
Situations where the anti-collision does not work
These situations are:
• If the collision happens during the initialization phase
• If the collision happens within the first 1000 milliseconds or after the control
button has been released
• If the collision happens between the floor and the table, and the load on the
desk, plus the weight of the legs are lower than 40 kg
• If the collision happens over too long of a time, e.g. if the collision is with
a soft object
TM
NextDesk offers an anti-collision feature that can
limit material damages to a desk if a collision with a
solid object should occur.
Enabling the anti-collision
To enable the anti-collision function, a dongle must
be mounted on one of the two control ports of the
control panel on the underside of NextDesk. The
function is only active when the dongle is mounted.
If you remove the dongle the anti-collision function is disabled.
Inspect NextDesk prior to use to determine if the anti-collision dongle
is properly inserted. Do not use NextDesk if the anti-collision dongle
has been removed.

Maintenance
Clean dust and dirt on the outside of the NextDesk and other components
at regular intervals and inspect them for damage and breaks. Inspect the
connections, cables, and plugs and check for correct functioning as well
as the security of the connection points.
The cleaners and disinfectants must not be highly alkaline or acidic
(pH value 6-8).
WARNING! The NextDesk systems do not withstand oil.
Description of the NextDesk
Each NextDesk actuator/lifting column is equipped with a motor, and
synchronicity is ensured by means of software 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.
Maximum Duty Cycle:
Irrespective of the load, the duty cycle of 10% (6 min./ hour) or
maximum 2 min. at continuous use must NOT be exceeded, as this will
result in overheating of the motor and control box. Exceeding the duty
cycle will result in a dramatic reduction of the life of the system.

Repairs:
In order to avoid the risk of malfunction, all NextDesk repairs must be
carried out by authorized NextDesk repair centers as special tools and
gaskets must be used.
WARNING! If any of the NextDesk products are opened, there will be a risk of
subsequent malfunction.
