3.2 Connecting the Desk Panel

2. Take the provided 62-inch cable. Connect one end of the cable to the RJ45 port on the desk panel.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding RJ45 port on your LINAK control box (typically located under the desk surface). Ensure the connection is firm.
4. Once connected, the desk panel should power on, and the LED display may show an initial value or prompt for calibration.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Height Adjustment

• To raise the desk, press and hold the UP button (usually indicated by an upward arrow). Release the button when the desired height is reached.
• To lower the desk, press and hold the DOWN button (usually indicated by a downward arrow). Release the button when the desired height is reached.
• The LED display will show the current desk height in inches as you adjust.

4.2 Setting Memory Positions

The DPF1C Desk Panel allows you to store up to three preferred desk heights for quick recall.

1. Adjust the desk to your desired height using the UP/DOWN buttons.
2. Press the SET button (often marked with 'M' or a similar symbol). The display may flash or show 'S'.
3. Within a few seconds, press one of the memory buttons (e.g., '1', '2', or '3') to save the current height to that position. The display may confirm the save (e.g., 'S1' for memory 1).
4. Repeat this process for other memory positions as needed.

4.3 Recalling Memory Positions

• To move the desk to a saved memory position, simply press the corresponding memory button (e.g., '1', '2', or '3').
• The desk will automatically move to the stored height. You can stop the movement at any time by pressing any button.

5. Maintenance

The LINAK DPF1C Desk Panel requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth to clean the surface of the desk panel. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the display or casing.
• Inspection: Periodically check the cable for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure all connections are secure.
• Environment: Keep the desk panel away from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DPF1C Desk Panel, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Desk does not move:
  • Check if the power cable to the control box is securely plugged into a working power outlet.
  • Ensure the RJ45 cable connecting the desk panel to the control box is firmly inserted at both ends.
  • If the desk has an anti-collision feature, check for any obstructions under or around the desk. Remove any obstacles and try again.
  • Perform a reset (refer to your desk frame's specific manual for reset procedures, often involving holding the DOWN button until the lowest position is reached and then released).
• Display shows an error code (e.g., 'E01', 'E02'):
  • Error codes typically indicate a specific issue with the desk system. Consult your desk frame's manual for a list of error codes and their meanings.
  • Often, a power cycle (unplugging the desk for 30 seconds and plugging it back in) can resolve temporary errors.
• Memory positions are not saving or recalling correctly:
  • Ensure you are following the correct procedure for setting memory positions (adjust, press SET, then press memory button within the time limit).
  • If the issue persists, try resetting the desk system as described above and then re-program the memory positions.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact customer support.
