4 Product description
The Wire Station WS 540 was developed and optimised to permit ergonomic,
effective, and time-saving working. The Wire Station WS 540 has four lockable
castors that allow the Wire Station WS 540 to be moved anywhere required.
The height-adjustable work surface of the Wire Station WS 540 allows it to be
adjusted individually to your work situation.
The wide range of options is an additional advantage. We developed them so
you can extend the Wire Station WS 540 in accordance with your individual
needs and requirements. All possible options are listed in Section "9".
4.1 DESKLINE® DL6 system
Each DESKLINE® DL6 drive is equipped with a motor. The software in the CBD6
ensures parallel running and memory function, even for unbalanced loading of
the table. This software also includes the Soft Start/Stop function that ensures
smooth starting and braking of the table.
4.2 Use of the DESKLINE® DL6 system
Irrespective of the weight, the switch-on duration of 10% ~ 6 minutes/hour or
max. 2 minutes for continuous operation specified on the data sheet must not
be exceeded, because this can cause overheating of the motor, brake or spindle
nut. Exceeding the switch-on duration can significantly reduce the service life of
the system.
4.3 PIEZO™ function description
To provide optimised protection against jamming and blocking the work surface,
LINAK has developed DL columns with integrated PIEZO sensor. This option
minimises the risk of damage on a table caused by an obstruction jamming or
blocking in the rising or lowering direction. For example, during downward travel
on a stool or container or during upward travel against a windowsill. The system
improves personal safety to some extent. It does not, however, satisfy the
regulations regarding personal safety, i.e. personal protective equipment must
also be worn.

To mount the "cover A, control unit", it is desirable to raise the table to simplify
access. First, synchronise the lifting axes (see section 5.2.1 "Lifting axes
synchronisation"). The table can then be moved upwards with the Up key (see
section 6 "Operation").

5.2 Commissioning
5.2.1 Lifting axes synchronisation
Fig. 1: Hand-held unit
Legend
1 Down key
2 Up key
To synchronise both lifting axes, they must now be initialised. Unless done
previously, connect the Wire Station WS 540 to the power grid.
The DESKLINE system is initialised by pressing the Down key on the hand-held
unit (fig. 1, item 1). The key must be kept pressed until the drives have reached
the lower limit position. Once all drives have stopped at the lowest limit position,
the Down key must be released for 2-3 seconds and then kept pressed for a
further 6-8 seconds. The initialisation is then completed. The system is lowered
and raised again by 5 mm during the initialisation. Under no circumstances,
release the Down key during the initialisation.
Synchronisation procedure
Keep the Down key on the hand-held unit pressed until the drives have
reached the lower limit position.
Release the Down key for 2-3 seconds.
Now keep the Down key pressed again for a further 6-8 seconds.
After successful initialisation, move the lifting axes with the Up key to the
uppermost position.
Note:
If the key is released before the operation has completed, the
initialisation is interrupted and must be begun again. No downward
travel of the system is possible if the initialisation was interrupted.

When the Wire Station WS 540 is at the upper position, you can fix the Wire
Station WS 540 supply cable to the rear panel.
Fig. 3: Supply cable fixing
After fixing the supply cable, move the lifting axes again to the lowermost
position. The synchronisation of the lifting axes has now completed and the
Wire Station WS 540 is operational.
