The ArchiMeda is an electrically height-adjustable table designed for office environments and commercial areas, intended for indoor use within a temperature range of 0-30°C. This manual provides instructions for its safe operation, assembly, and maintenance in English, German, French, and Spanish.
Function Description
The primary function of the ArchiMeda table is to provide a height-adjustable work surface. It is equipped with a motor, a transformer, and a handset for controlling the height.

Before first use, the device requires a reset by lowering it until it stops. The table is designed to be used with a swivel chair (with castors) on a suitable floor surface, in accordance with DIN EN 985.
