1. Preface
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing an electrically height-adjustable desk from 7KH+XPDQ 6ROXWLRQ
You are now in possession of a state-of-the-art product that compiles with all the relevant
safety requirements.
1.1 Intended use
Uplift 800 control units may only be used for the intended purpose, i.e. to control electric
height-adjustable desks. Only motors that meet 7KH+XPDQ6ROXWLRQ
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 7KH+XPDQ
6ROXWLRQ. Their basic function is upwards and downwards adjustment of the desktop,
which can be controlled with all the handswitches available.
1.2 8SOLIW control unit functionality
The Uplift 800 control units incorporate the following features (the availability of some of
the features depends on the handswitch used):
• Control unit with 3 motor channels
• 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
• 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.)
• Depending on your needs, you have a choice of two switches for installation
underneath the tabletop and one tabletop switch.

5 of 44
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 Uplift 800 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 to approach 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: th is w arning adv ises you of p ossible dang ers f rom el ectric
current.
Failure to observe this warning may cause injuries and damage to
property.
Note: t his sym bol adv ises you of important i nformation that m ust be
noted for operating the Uplift 800 control unit safely.
Danger: this warning advises you of a poss ible 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.

6 of 44
1.5 ISP (Intelligent System Protection)
ISP is an electronic state-of-the-art protection system developed by 7KH+XPDQ6ROXWLRQ
It also substantially reduces the risk for fingers being trapped or pinched.
Danger: i n spi te of IS P bei ng i n p lace, there m ay sti ll be a r isk of
pinching in exceptional cases, as it is not o nly the control unit, but also
the inter action betw een th e m echanical and el ectronic syst ems that i s
responsible for cu tting ou t the m otor. In add ition, t he m echanical
components, motor and ambient conditions all affect cut-out sensitivity.
As the control unit distributer, 7KH+XPDQ6ROXWLRQ cannot therefore
eliminate this residual risk completely or accept any liability.
Note: the ISP-sensitivity and the IS P-cutoff value depend on the w hole
system (mechanical and electrical components).
Note: as soon as IS P has stopped th e el ectric he ight-adjustable desk
from moving, you can t hen o nly adj ust th e desktop in the o pposite
direction (the safety feature initially prevents you from adjusting the desk
in the same direction as triggered it).
Attention – Safety Notice: E ven w hen equi pped w ith a sensor , the
collision protection is by no m eans cons idered personal pr otection
equipment and may not be classified and described as such!

3.2.5 Reset
At initial start-up the product must be reset in order to commence operation.
When used in a table, the reset function facilitates moving all columns to the same
level at the bottom-most table position. This ensures that the desktop moves in
parallel to the ground level.
Additionally the standard version of the control saves the connected components,
such as columns or an optional sensor, in its memory. After the reset, changes in the
configuration will be recognized and classified as errors. The system will not move
before the saved condition has been restored.
Danger: During reset the collision protection is deactivated so that
there is no detection activity. This entails a higher risk of crushing.
Please make sure that there are no objects or persons in the danger
zone (defined as the entire lifting or moving range of all components)
and the danger zone is kept free.
3.2.6 Reset (manual reset)
To perform a reset, the U p and D own keys of the sw itch need to be pressed l ong
