4Transport and storage
Danger of crushing and shearing!
Body parts or objects could be crushed or sheared off as a result of the electrical
height adjustment process.
Maintain sufficient lateral clearance (at least 25 mm) to all surrounding objects, walls, etc.
throughout the lifting range.
Set up the desk in such a manner that sufficient space for the complete lift movement and
space for maintenance work is ensured.
Bench: Do not use the cable tray as a footrest.
Bench: The installation of a partition between the table tops (e.g. Partito, Frameless
Screen) is essential for the installation of an Ology Bench with the Active Touch function.

adjusting
5.1 Safety instructions
The Ology desk may only be used and operated
when in a technically perfect condition and in
compliance with the user manual.
Before changing the height of the desk, ensure that:
■The desktop must be horizontal. In case of
uneven floors, you can adjust the height using
the adjusting screws on the feet.
■That no persons or objects (e.g. open doors or
windows) are in the lifting range, or protrude
into the lifting range.
■No one is on the desk.
■The maximum permissible load-carrying capacity
of the desk is not exceeded.
Danger due to voltage!
Contact with voltage can cause severe
injury or death by electric shock!
Attach or detach
connectors only when the
equipment is de-
energised.
Do not open the housings
of the following
components:
–Controller
–Columns
–Control panel
Danger due to voltage!
The metal parts of the desk
can become energised if live
cables and connections are
damaged.
Do not earth electrical devices on the
desk frame.
Risk of injury or damage!
When loading the CPU holder with
weight that is higher than the approved
weight, the fastening screws can tear.
Risk of injury or damage!
The fastening screws could tear if the desk
is lifted by the desktop or the attached
components.
Always take hold of the desk at the
underframe to transport or move it.
Ensure that the connecting cables of all
devices on the desk are long enough.
Optimum desk height
The adjustment to the optimum desk height (sitting
height) is crucial for the correct sitting posture at the
workstation. The correct desk height setting for the
workstation can be found in the workstation analysis
(pursuant to the German Occupational Safety and
Health Act, the German VDU Ordinance, or accident
prevention regulations, for example). See also BGI
650: Screen and office workstations. Design
guidelines.
5.2 Desk height adjustment
Height adjustment of the Ology and Ology Bench
desks is done in the same way. In the illustrations,
variants of the Ology desk are used.
5.2.1 Basic variant
The desk has a fixed height of 740 mm. With the
exception of height adjustment for uneven floors, the
desk height cannot be adjusted.
5.2.2 Telescopic variant
The desk can be adjusted to a height between 620
mm and 900 mm with an adjustment wheel.

All columns are moved simultaneously.
−Do not lift the desktop during cranking.
Push the crank back into the parking position. If
the crank remains in its working position, there is
danger of impact!
5.2.4 Variants Lift 1 and Lift 2
The desk can be variably set at a height between 720
mm and 1200 mm (variant - Lift 1) or between 650
mm and 1250 mm (variant - Lift 2).
Make sure before first use that
■the desk has been assembled correctly;
■the controller is connected to the motor by cable;
■the operating panel is connected to the
controller;
■all safety instructions have been followed.
For the power connection
Insert the mains plug into a power point supply-
ing 220/230 V.
Prior to placing the desk in service it is
necessary to perform a manual reset.
The instructions for this procedure can be
found in the description of the
corresponding control panel.
5.2.5 Operating panel

Manual reset on Simple Touch operating panel
An end position calibration of the lowest desktop
position must be performed:
■Prior to placing the desk in service
■When the actual desktop position no longer
matches the displayed desktop position.
■When a previously configured motor controller is
used in a different electrically height adjustable
workstation of the same design.
Press the operating panel down-
wards and hold it down until it
reaches the lower end position.
Release the operating panel for 1
second.
Press the operating panel down
again and hold down for approx. 5
sec.
The desktop moves to the lower end
position and makes a short move-
ment.
Release the operating panel. The
system is now ready for operation.
If the operating panel is released before
the process is complete, the manual reset
process will be interrupted and must be
restarted.
Adjusting the desk height with Simple Touch
operating panel
Before performing the height adjustment, you must
ensure that:
■No one is in the lifting range. No objects (such as
open doors or windows) are in or protrude into
the lifting range.
■There are no objects in the lift range of the lift
column.
■No one is on the desk.
■The maximum permissible load-carrying capacity
of the desk is not exceeded (see 3.1 Technical
data ).
■No heavy loads are on the desktop. Heavy loads
make the height adjustment more difficult.
The desktop is level. If the floor is uneven, align the
desktop with the adjusting screws on the feet.
Ensure that the connecting cables of
devices on the desk are long enough.
Press the operating panel downwards
until the lower end position (pro-
grammed desktop position) is reached.
A lift movement takes place only:
■As long as the corresponding operating panel is
pressed.
■As long as the maximum load (approx. 75 kg) is
not exceeded.
ATTENTION
Risk of damage to the desktop!
If desktop movement occurs on
one side only or unevenly:
Release the operating panel
immediately to stop the
movement.

and must be restarted.
Adjusting the desk height with Active Touch
operating panel
Before performing the height adjustment, you must
ensure that:
■The display of the operating panel does not show
an error message (see 6 Faults and
malfunctions ).
■No one is in the lifting range. No objects (such as
open doors or windows) are in or protrude into
the lifting range.
■There are no objects in the lift range of the lift
column.
■No one is on the desk.
■The maximum permissible desk load-carrying
capacity is not exceeded (75kg).
■No heavy loads are on the desktop. Heavy loads
make the height adjustment more difficult.
■The desktop is level. If the floor is uneven, align
the desktop with the adjusting screws on the
feet.
Ensure that the connecting cables of all
devices on the desk are long enough.
