1. Introduction
You have chosen Flexi, the multi-flexible, height-adjustable, easy-to-mount frame. The frame may
be used separately or in combination with Diagonal or Verti, the adjustable system for wall
cupboards.
The frame has no inconvenient fascia and, consequently, the adjustment of the working height
from 65 to 95 cm + worktop thickness may be fully utilised.
Under the worktop there is sufficient room for knees and legs for wheelchair users, who obtain
freedom of movement and a perfect working posture.
If you want the colour of the frame to match your kitchen, you may order suitable covers for the
vertical legs.
The Flexi frame is delivered with electrical function.
You have chosen the electrical version, and you will obtain a quick and easy adjustment of the
frame by activating the control buttons.
The correct use, operation and inspection are decisive factors for efficient and safe
performance.

Page 6
It is advisable to place water supply and waste within the hatched area. Also it is important to use
flexible hoses for water supply and waste to ensure that the Flexi will move freely without obstacles
within the height adjustment range 65-95 cm. excl. worktop.
It is advisable to place the water supply and waste close to the sink. The drain may also be
installed in the floor.
Arrange for the fixed feed pipes on the wall to be pointing down, at a height of max. 40 cm.
This will ensure that the flexible feed pipes will always flex in a neat curve close to the wall
without kinking. A 90 degree valve with a 1/2" exposed thread is recommended.
The control unit complies with IP32/ll and must always be installed in accordance with the
national Heavy Current Regulations or corresponding international or national standards.
The cables to the control unit must be able to move freely during height adjustment of the Flexi.
For worktops with cut-outs the distance from either side of the worktop should be considered as
shown on the illustration.

6. Flexi electric Quickstart Guide
Checks:
•Bolts are firmly tightened on the frame and into the wall
•Stop rings and washers are in place on the spindle inside the legs
•The spindle runs fully through each leg
•There are no obstructions to full movement
Tips:
Upstand to worktop back to prevent items or
water flowing over
Space all around of 5mms
Control Box must be mounted
on
Underside of worktop
Check any potential gaps with
adjacent units or worktops
-either fill the gaps with fascia or
use
Ropox safety strips.
For adjacent adjustable frames a
Safety
Strip / Smartbox should be used
for each frame.
Press DOWN button first
Fascias on all
three sides
Recommendations:
•Ropox recommendation is to always make use of fascias on all 3 sides
Start-up:
•The frame must move freely and unimpeded throughout height adjustment. Check all connections of
flexible hoses, cables etc. to make sure none of these parts or other items are trapped when frame is
operated
Trouble shooting: - No movement –Check mains and power connection to control box
•Check adapter cable with end resistor is connected correctly to control box
•If frame is supplied with safety stop, remove/dismount connection to safety stop and replace yellow
end resistor. If frame moves downwards now, safety stop has to be examined to check if it is activated,
has been bend with a radius of less than 20mm or has been damaged
•Check if label on control box describes a Flexi control with either 1 or 2 motors, corresponding to
number of motors on the frame
•If you hear several “clicks” when connecting to main power it means plugs between control box,
motors and control switch are not connected correct or pushed/plugged right in (under normal
circumstances the control box would “click” twice)
•Before use:
•If these frames are mounted/installed or rebuild together with other electrical components, the whole
product will be looked at as a new unit and must therefore undergo risk assessment, by which it can
receive CE-marking

Where you have an adjustable leg always position a support arm directly over it. Do not
adjust the tilting of the arm supports that are positioned on top of the legs (see 6.5).
If the sink or hotplate is placed at the middle of the worktop, move the third leg if any, to the
right or left to ensure that the leg and support arm are fitted in the immediate vicinity of the
sink, hotplate etc.
7.2.1 Place the frame against the wall and
align it. Adjust the two threaded bolts
under the legs to ensure that the frame
is horizontal.
To obtain the correct height (65-95 cm
without worktop) adjust the threaded
bolt to each leg.
After mounting, turn the threaded
bolts up so they are hidden by the
leg.
Mark and drill the holes for fastening.
Fasten the frame to the wall by means
of screws and raw plugs suiting the
material of the wall.
7.2 Mounting the frame on the wall
7.1.11 Move the stop rings on the spindle
to both sides, so that the stop ring

9. Performance test
After installation and prior to use all functions of Flexi must be tested. The test must be carried out
by competent personnel. Subsequently the test shall be carried out at least once a year:
Testing prior to connection of mains voltage:
1. Check that the mounting instructions have been observed.
2. Check that all bolts have been tightened.
3. Check that all cables have been connected correctly and that the plugs have been pressed
home.
4. Check that there is no load on the Flexi frame.
5. Check that there is nothing preventing the Flexi from moving freely within the height
adjustment range.
Start-up Procedure
1. Connect the net cable and turn on the power
2. Connect the motor cables to M1 and M2
3. Connect the control switch to HS
4. Press DOWN on the control switch, move the frame to bottom position, check that the
movement is even and smooth. Make sure that the hose connections follow the movement
of the frame and that they do not get squeezed. The frame is now reset.
5. Press UP on the control switch, move the frame to top position and check that the
movement is even and smooth. Make sure that the hose connections follow the movement
of the frame and that they do not get squeezed.
If a safety strip has been mounted under the Flexi frame it must be tested as follows:
Press DOWN on the control switch and let the Flexi frame move 2-5 cm downward. Now
activate the safety strip by pressing it lightly. The frame must stop the downward movement,
move 1-2 cm upward and stop.
If a safety strip and smartbox2 has been fitted above the frame, e.g. on a wall cupboard ”Diagonal”,
this must also be tested as follows:
Make sure that the Flexi frame is in the bottom position. Press UP on the button and let the
frame move 2-5 cm upward. Now the safety strip above the Flexi frame will be activated. The
Flexi frame must now stop its UPWARD movement and move 1-2 cm downward and stop.
If all these tests are ok, the Flexi frame is ready for use. Se section 12 “Safety in use”.
