3.6.4 Duty cycle monitoring
1.3 Important notes for service
The duty cycle monitoring ensures that when a defined duty cycle has been reached, the control unit is taken out of
operation for a defined time (e.g. after 2 minutes of continuous operation, the control unit is automatically disabled for

2. Functions and features
Ambient temperature
Relative humidity (for operation)
The desk system Contec-plus is exclusively intended for indoor use as office furniture in the commercial sector.
Storage and transport temperature
Relative humidity (for storage)
The hand switch of the desk serves as the control of the electrically powered, height-adjustable desk system.
IP-class
The basic function is to raise and lower the desktop.
Protection class
Dimensions of the control unit (L-W-H) [mm]
Advanced functions are to store height positions, and to move to these positions (memory control).
Tolerances
Control
During commissioning, an initialization (manual reset) must be carried out (see section 3.3).
This will normally be carried out by the qualified technician of the specialized dealer/manufacturer during assembly

and commissioning at the installation site.
In the event of a power outage while the drives are operating, another reset must be carried out, before the desk can
be used normally again.
The reset movement will be performed at a reduced speed.
5. Trouble-Shooting
The movements of the drives are electronically monitored by the control unit. On exceeding the maximum duty cycle,

the electronics will prevent any further travel of the drives in order to protect the electrical and mechanical components
against overload.
Drives do not function
In the event of unacceptably high temperatures, a shutdown will occur.
Possible cause
In this case, the LED display on the hand switch will blink, when pressing the keys.
Mains cable is not plugged in
The maximum duty cycle is 2 minutes, after which the control unit is automatically disabled for the next 18 minutes.
The drives are not plugged in
If the control system detects excessive weight loads it will also be automatically disabled.
Poor plug contact

The maximum distributed load of the desk is 70 kg.
Hand switch is defective
Drives only run in one direction
The maximum noise emission during movement of the desk is 50dB(A).
Possible cause

Danger:
Poor plug contact
In spite of the collision protection system in place, there may still be a risk of pinching in exceptional cases.
For physical reasons „soft" obstructions are difficult or impossible to detect and evaluate. In the event of a
collision with an obstruction, damage occurring to the obstruction cannot be ruled out.
