System Description; Electrostatic Discharge (Esd) - Linak Inline LA20 User Manual

1. System description:

Usage/type of applications:
LINAK actuators, lifting columns and electronics have been developed for use in all places where a linear movement is required .
®
LINAK products can for example be used for:
• Adjustment of beds
• Patient hoists within the care and hospital sector
• Adjustment of dentist chairs/gynaecological chairs
• Etc .
The principles of a LINAK system are as follows:
LINAK hand control
Attention should be paid to the following:
• All detachable connections between components must be locked by the cable locking mechanism - when applicable .
• All cables must be mounted in such a way that they are not trapped or exposed to tension or sharp objects when the application is moved in different
directions .
Recommendation
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 .

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

LINAK considers ESD to be an important issue and years of experience have shown that equipment designed to meet the levels specified in standards
®
might be insufficient to protect electronic equipment in certain enviroments .
1. Handling and mounting electrostatic discharge sensitive devices (ESDS devices).
• Handling of sensitive components shall only take place in an ESD Protected Area (EPA) under protected and controlled conditions .
• Wrist straps and/or conductive footwear (personal grounding) shall always be used when handling ESDS devices .
• Sensitive devices shall be protected outside the EPA by the use of ESD protective packaging .
2. Responsibility LINAK/customer.
• ESDS devices must under no circumstances, during transport, storage, handling, production or mounting in an application, be exposed to harmfull ESD .
• LINAK can only guarantee the lifetime of ESDS devices if they are handled in the same way from production at LINAK A/S until they are mounted in the
manufacturer's application . It is therefore important that the ESDS devices are not removed from the ESD protected packaging before they are physically
within the EPA area at the customer premises .
