CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING CHAIR
Inspect the connections, cables, cabinet, and plugs, and check for correct functioning (does not
apply to battery versions).
With the exception of the CS16 and CS18 PCB the control boxes are sealed and maintenance-free.
Inspect at regular intervals that the ventilation aperture on the external battery is positioned
correctly and is intact throughout its length, approx. 20mm, see figure 1.
Figure 1
Ventilation of external batteries, BA18 (for models fitted with this
type)
Check at regular intervals that the ventilation stub is
undamaged and intact. The construction of the ventilation stub permits
the battery gases to get to get out, but does not permit penetration of
water.
Maintenance of batteries
The batteries are to be replaced after 4 years at the latest - perhaps earlier, dependent on the pattern of
use. Frequent and high-powered discharges reduce the battery life. For an optimum lifetime the product
must be connected to the mains voltage as often as possible. The batteries must be charged at least
every
3rd month - otherwise they will be damaged in due to self-discharge. It is recommended to test
the battery function at least once every year.
Replacement and Maintenance of Batteries
The batteries must only be replaced with Linak approved battery types – please contact your supplier
for further information.
The batteries must be new or maintained by means of charging at least every 3rd month. The batteries,
which make a set, must be supplied with identical production codes. Mismatching of production codes
may lead to severely reduced life time expectancy.
Before mounting ensure that the battery set is correctly connected, compare with the drawing in the
battery room, and check that no connectors are loose.
Warning!
From the factory the battery room is hermetically separated from the electronics room. When
replacing the batteries this separation must not be damaged or modified as this may allow
penetration of battery gas into the electronics room with risk of explosion.
When replacing batteries in waterproof products (IP 65 and IP 66) precautions must be taken
that the sealing material (silicone ring or joint filler) is not damaged and that it is correctly
placed in the groove. Hereafter the screws in the cover are to be fastened with approximately 1
Nm. If the seal is damaged it must be replaced by a new silicone string (LINAK article no.
0008004 for a roll of 100 metres).
If a non-LINAK battery is used, it is important to check that the current is not reversed (plus and
minus swapped over) This applies to both control boxes, which always run off battery and
control boxes with battery backup. Contact your nearest LINAK dealer for specification of type,
size etc
Disposal
The batteries, which are lead-acid batteries, can be returned to LINAK or disposed in the same
way as car batteries.
