3. Collision protection
Caution! The collision protection is not an entrapment or personal
protection mechanism! For physical reasons, “soft” obstacles may
only be poorly detected and evaluated or may not be detected at all!
If the desk travels against an obstacle then it is possible that the
obstacle may suer damage because the desk travels against it at its
nominal speed!
3.1 Information on collision protection
- If the desk meets and detects an obstacle when traveling either
upwards or downwards then the collision protection prevents the
desk from being tilted or continuing its travel. If an obstacle is
detected then the desk stops moving and reverse travel is initiated
(difference in reverse travel: approx. 5 cm).
3.2 Notes on use
- Start/acceleration phase: Once travel has started, obstacles can only
be detected after travel of approximately 2 cm, after the nominal
speed has been reached.
- Load: If the desk is not subject to any load then obstacles cannot be
or can only be poorly detected.
- Soft obstacles: Soft obstacles include all types of obstacle that initially
give way when the desk travels against them, for example as in the
case of human body parts, upholstered chairs etc. Soft obstacles
cannot be or can only be poorly detected.
- Operating time restriction: The electronics monitor how long the drives
have been operating. If the maximum permitted time is exceeded
then the electronics do not permit continued operation of the drives
(see section 7).
