During use:
In case of visible damage to the desk, it may not be used until it has been established whether or not the observed damage
prevents safe working.
The desk is intended as a height/adjustable worktop for use in a professional office
environment. Do not sit or stand on the desk during adjusting. There is a risk of personal
injury and permanent damage to the desk.
Ensure that the worktop is not subjected to a heavier load than stated in the technical
specification. There is a risk of irreparable damage to the system and a risk of personal
injury.
When the desk makes a non-normal noise during use, starts smoking and/or smells, cut off
the power supply immediately.
When using the desks, it is recommended to periodically check that the electrical supply
cables have not become trapped and can still move freely enough.

Description and composition
of the product
Vepa sit-stand adjustment system general
The Vepa desk ranges meet all the latest criteria and demands for modern office furniture.
Thanks to the electric height adjustment, it is possible to switch comfortably between sitting and standing work. The furniture
is constructed around a cross beam on which the top carriers, legs and accessories can be mounted. The assembly of these
parts is very efficient thanks to an innovative screw-clamp connection. With a minimum of interchangeable components this
is an extremely friendly piece of furniture in terms of facilities.
Safety through anti-collision
The standard built-in electronically controlled ‘GyroSense’ sensor ensures that any obstacles, such as a seat rail underneath
the worktop, are detected when the worktop is raised or lowered. On contact with the obstacle, the controls respond by
moving a few inches in the opposite direction so that the obstacle can be removed.
Tops and carriers
The tops are in melamine chipboard, hpl or solid core. 18 or 25 mm thick. Tops are available as responsible certified PEFC™- or
FSC® wood. Available colours and dimensions are listed in the most recent price list.
The desk tops are already fitted with top carriers that are standard equipped with the possibility to mount a cable duct holder.
The centre-top carrier prevents bending of the top under load.
Assembly
Thanks to the unique construction of the legs in combination with the central traverse, the Vepa T-desks, duo H-frames and
side panels desks can be assembled quickly. The assembly via two allen screws in the tightening brackets forms a quick and
stable connection between legs and top. Since all components are made of steel, they can be assembled and disassembled
over and over again without loss of quality. Ideal for any (internal) moving.
Elektrification/cabling
The Vepa workplaces can optionally be equipped with a cable duct. This duct is fitted between the top carriers after
installation of the furniture and it facilitates an efficient and tidy storage of accessories such as power sockets, data
connectors, hubs and so on.
Final result of an assembled desk with T-legs and side panels.

Chapter 5
Description of operation
and method of use
The Vepa sit/stand desks are equipped with an electrically operated motorised adjustment.
It is necessary to initialise the desk before it can be used for the first time. Usually, this is part of the job of the person
installing the workplace. However, initialisation may also be necessary in case of a power failure or if something else has
happened that has caused the controller to, for example, lose its position.
When the desk indicates an incorrect height, is skewed or no longer functions properly for any other reason, it must also be
reinitialised.
This process will reset the software and redetermine the desk position (lowest setting.
Method of operation:
 = Raise desk
 = Lower desk
5.1 Initialisation of a new desk at first use
To initialize a newly assembled, not yet used desk, initialisation consists of the following steps:
- Press and hold the down arrow  . The desk will slowly go down. Note: press and hold the arrow until the desk is all the
way down and has risen a few inches again.
- After this, the desk is initialised and ready for use.
- NOTE: the procedure described above can only be used once with a new, unused desk. After this first use, the description
under point 5.2 and beyond shall be followed.
5.2 Initialisation sit/stand desk fitted with display with height reading

GyroSense:
The Vepa sit/stand desks are equipped with an electrically operated motorised adjustment. In addition, the desk control is
equipped as standard with a GyroSense that automatically detects any obstacles while adjusting the height of the worktop.
When the worktop detects an obstacle during the adjustment, the movement in the direction of the obstacle will stop and
reverse. The worktop will move approx. 3 cm. in the opposite direction. This can occur in both the upward and downward
movement. The purpose of this is to move the worktop to a position where it is free from the obstacle.
To change the sensitivity of the GyroSense please refer to the description below under point 5.4 and 5.5.
5.4: Adjustment of the sensitivity of the lowering protection (anti-collision) of sit/stand desk equipped
with display with height reading
There are two types of displays with height readout available. To be fitted either in the worktop or underneath the worktop,
see images below. They function identical.
Controls underneath the top. Controls in the top.
The height indicator lights up when you press one of the arrows.
The use of the desk can cause the height adjustment of the desk to run heavier or lighter over time. In both cases this could
promote unwanted activation of the lowering protection (anti-collision).
By default, the desk is set with a medium sensitivity (position 3).
By using the steps as described below, the setting can either be adjusted or improved.
- Press up arrow  4 times in rapid succession. When done properly you’ll hear a beep.
- After the beep the display will show the value P01.
- Now press the up or down arrow until the display will show the value P08.
