OPERATING ISSUE RECOMMENDATIONS
System will move down but not up. See Initialize the Control Box, above.
System unresponsive (no power to
display with any button is pressed).
If any of these steps activates the
digital display, initialize the system.
1. Check power cable connection.
2. Test power outlet using another device.
3. Plug in and test a new switch.
4. Connect all cables to a new control box and test.
System is powered, but will not
initialize.
1. Press and release the down button a few times before pressing
and holding for five seconds.
2. The control box may have a special configuration. If the
workbench is programmed with a lower stroke limit, it may have
a longer Forced Initialization Time (time required to hold down
button before initialization). Can be 10 seconds or longer.
3. The problem could be a faulty desk leg or a faulty motor cable.
For a standard control box without special configuration, initialize
each leg in Channel 1 with nothing else plugged into the motor
channels on the control box. Swap the motor cables so that a
different motor cable is used to initialize Channel 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING
INITIALIZE THE CONTROL BOX
1. Hold down button on handset to ensure the
workbench is retracted to its lowest height.
2. Briefly release down button.
3. Press and hold down button for five seconds, wait
until workbench stops moving and then release.
a. If initialization is successful, user should see a
slight up/down handshake movement of the
workbench legs.
b. If you have a workbench panel with display, user
will also see E01.
CHECK ALL CABLE CONNECTIONS
1. Check that cables are connected to control box
and power outlet.
2. Check that all motor cables are connected to
control box and leg.
a. Assuming a standard control box configuration,
these must be connected in channels 1 and 2.
They cannot be connected in channels 1 and 3
or 2 and 3 unless there is a configuration on the
control box specifying this arrangement.
3. Check that programmable handset cable is
connected to the control box in either port A1 or A2.
CHECK FOR OBSTRUCTIONS
1. Check under, above and on the sides of the desk
for any obstructions that could prevent movement
in either direction.
CHECK FOR FAULTY COMPONENTS WITH
ERROR CODES ON DIGITAL DISPLAY
1. Check the error code list on page 10. The code
should read E##. Some error codes are channel-
specific which can help pinpoint the problem.

PAGE 9 OF 39 0920 IH-8184
OPERATING ISSUE RECOMMENDATIONS
Channel-specific error (Ex: E41 –
Channel 1 overload) – Everything
except PIEZO errors (E59-E63).
1. Swap the motor cable connections at the control box. If It
remains E41, there could be a problem with the workbench or a
bad control box. If the error changes to E42, go to step 2.
2. Swap the motor cable connections at the desk legs, so the leg
that was originally connected to Channel 1 is back in Channel
1, but with the motor cable that was originally connected to
Channel 2. If it remains E42, it is most likely a bad motor cable. If
it goes back to E41, it is most likely a bad leg.
Desk is uneven. 1. Initialize the control box, see page 8. If both legs begin to run down,
complete the initialization. If only one leg moves, stop and move to
Step 2.
2. Check motor cable connections. Check to ensure motor cables
are not pulled during movement. With a standard, Plug & Play
control box, it is possible that only one leg is connected, and
connected to Channel 1. In this case, it will initialize and run
Channel 1 only. If there is only one leg but it is connected to
Channel 2, it will not initialize.
3. If a motor cable was disconnected, try initializing again. If
unsuccessful, connect the desk leg from Channel 2 into Channel
1, with nothing in Channel 2, and initialize.
4. Try initializing the same leg in Channel 1, but with a different
motor cable. If it still won't initialize, contact Uline Customer
Service at 1-800-295-5510.
