General recommendations
Failing to follow these instructions may result in actuator system damage:
The duty cycle printed on the actuator system label must always be respected. If exceeded, there is
a risk that the actuator system is damaged. Unless otherwise specified on the label, the duty cycle is
max. 10%, max. 2 min. in use followed by 18 min. not in use.
All detachable connections between components must be locked by the cable locking mechanism -
when applicable.
It is recommended to have options like quick release, manual lowering or similar built into the
system in case of power loss or system failure or if movement of the system is critical. After service it
is recommended to test the system for correct functionality before it is put back into operation.
Prior to assembly/disassembly, ensure that the following points are observed:
- The actuator system is not in operation.
- The mains current supply is switched off and the plug has been pulled out.
- Batteries - if applicable - may also power the system.
- Actuators are free from loads that could be released during this work.
Prior to operating the actuator system, check the following:
- Actuator system components are correctly mounted as indicated in the product-specific user
instructions.
- The equipment can be operated in its entire intended range of movement.
- Ensure that the load-supporting bolts can withstand the wear.
- Ensure that the load-supporting bolts are secured safely.
During operation:
- Listen for unusual sounds and watch out for uneven movement. Stop the actuator system
immediately if anything unusual is observed.
- Do not sideload the actuator.
- Do not step on or kick any LINAK component.
When the equipment is not in use:
- Switch off the mains supply or pull out the plug in order to prevent unintentional operation.
Cables and plugs:
- It is important to remove the transport plastic bag before using the cable.
- When changing the cables on a LINAK
®
actuator system, it is important that this is done carefully in
order to protect the plugs and pins.
- Please ensure that the plug is in the right location and properly inserted before the cable lid is
mounted.
