Frequently Asked Questions - Sequel 6052 BDI

How do I reset the desk?

Press and hold the DOWN button until the desk reaches its lowest height. Release, then press and hold again until the LED displays 'RST'. Release and press and hold DOWN once more until the desk lowers slightly, rises, and stops. The desk is then ready.

How do I program a preset height?

Adjust the desk to the desired height using UP/DOWN, then press 'M' followed by a number key (1-4) to store that height as a preset.

Can I set upper and lower height limits?

Yes. Move the desk to the desired maximum height, hold 'M' until the display flashes 'S', then press 'M' twice more (display shows '999'). For lower limit, repeat with 'M' twice more after first flash to get '000'. To remove limits, hold 'M' until 'S', then press 'M' repeatedly until '555' appears.

What should I do if the LED displays an error code?

If 'Er1' appears, check all wired connections and perform a reset. For other errors (Er01-13), consult the troubleshooting flow chart. Allow 20 minutes cool down if 'HO1' is displayed.

What is the weight capacity of the desk?

The desk can support up to 150 lbs (68 kg) evenly distributed.

Is the desk compatible with monitor arms?

Yes, the desk is compatible with most third-party monitor arms. Attach the arm on either side of the grommet hole along the back edge, keeping at least 1 inch away from the hole.

How do I clean the glass top?

Use standard glass cleaner. For steel parts and wood veneer, use a moist cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What tools are required for assembly?

The desk comes with two hex wrenches (5mm and 4mm). You will also need a Phillips screwdriver. Do not use power tools to avoid damage.

Can I attach a surge protector?

Step 2 - Install Control Module and Keypad

Lay top panel upside down on a soft surface (like carpet). Attach Keypad C4 on the desired side (left or right) with 2 Wood Screws H1. Orient the Control Module C3 so that the Keypad port is facing the Keypad side and secure between the 2 steel rails with 2 Wood Screws H1 as shown. Route the Keypad cord into the groove in the panel and through the hole in the metal frame.

Step 3 - Secure the keypad cord into the groove using 6 cord clips H6 and 6 wood screws H2. Connect keypad cord into the Control Module Port (labeled HS) and bundle the slack with the Hook & Loop Tie.

Step 4 - Attach 2 Legs C1 with 6 Screws H3 per Leg using Hex Wrench T1. Start all 6 screws before tightening them down. Tighten the 2 outside screws first, then tighten the other 4 screws.

Step 5 - Connect the leg cords to the closest port of the control module and bundle up any slack using the hook & loop tie.

2- Tighten the front/back screws next

Step 6 - Attach each Foot C2 with 4 Screws H4 using Hex Wrench T2. The long end of the foot faces the front edge of the desk. Thread in Levelers H7 into the bottom front and back corners of each foot.

Optional Drawer Assembly for 6052

Attach the optional Drawer (for 6052) using 4 Screws H10 that came with your drawer as shown.

Step 7 - Plug the Power Cord C5 into the power port on the Control Module C3 (labeled AC).

Step 8 - Turn the desk upright and plug it in to adjust the height

With the help of another person, carefully flip the desk on to its feet. Plug the other end of the Power Cord into the nearest wall socket. Refer to the User Manual on Page 13 and follow the Reset Procedure. You may now adjust the height of your desk to make the remaining steps easier.

Step 9 -Install the glass bumpers.

Install the 3 glass bumpers H8 as shown.

Step 10 - Install the glass panel.

With the help of another person, carefully place the Glass Panel C8 on top of the desk top with the metal pucks facing down. The stem of the glass pucks should slip into 4 holes. Secure the glass panel in place from below using 4 Screws H5. Place Grommet Cover C9 into the grommet hole.

Attach dual lock fastener to the bottom of the surge protector (optional)

Secure 4 pairs of Dual-Lock Dots H9 to the bottom corners of the surge protector.

Attach the surge protector (optional)

For easy installation, raise the height of the desk. Determine where you prefer the surge protector to be mounted. We suggest just behind the metal rails towards the leg closest to your wall outlet. Make sure the area is dust free. Remove the adhesive film and attach the surge protector with the power cord facing the nearest leg. Press firmly to allow the pressure sensitive adhesive to set.

Attach the wire tray (optional)

Determine if you prefer the wire tray to be centered, shifted left or shifted right. If you plan to use a monitor arm, it might be better to shift the position of the Wire Tray to make the monitor arm attach more centrally. Attach the metal Wire Tray C7 to the back edge of the bottom of the desk with 2 Screws H5.

Attach a monitor arm (optional)

The Sequel Lift Desk is compatible with most third party monitor arms. Attach your monitor arm on either side of the grommet hole along the back edge (see gray area below), staying at least 1" away from the grommet hole.

Important:

- You must reset the desk prior to use.

Reset Procedure:

1. Press and hold the DOWN button on the keypad until the desk reaches its lowest height.
2. Release the DOWN button.
3. Press and hold the DOWN button again until the LED sidplay reads "RST". 890
4. Release the DOWN button.
5. Press and hold the DOWN button again until the desk lowers a little bit more, slightly rises and stops.
6. Release the DOWN button. Your desk is now ready for use.

Height Adjustment

The desk base can be adjusted by pressing and holding either the UP or DOWN button until the desired height is reached.

To program up to four presets, use the up/down buttons to find a desired height, then press "M" followed by a number 1-4.

Caution:

Once a preset button is pushed, the desk will move to the programmed height. To stop movement, press any button on the key pad.

Setting the Upper and Lower Limits

The base is designed to go to its minimum and maximum heights, allowing for the widest possible range. If you prefer to change the settings to a more narrow range, follow these steps:

Make sure the power is ON and a number reads in the LED display (if no number appears, please follow the RESET procedure on the previous page).

To set the Upper-limit position:

Use the UP/DOWN buttons to move the base to the desired maximum height position. Press and hold the M button until the LED display flashes "S" once and let go of the button. Then press and release the "M" button 2 more times quickly. The LED display will change to "999" on the third push, and then automatically return to the selected height. The new upper limit is now set.

To set the Lower-limit position:

Use the UP/DOWN buttons to move the base to the desired minimum height position. Press and hold the "M" button until the LED display flashes "S" once and let go of the button. Then press and release the "M" button 2 more times quickly. The LED display will change to "000" on the third push, and then automatically return to the selected height. The new lower limit is now set.

To remove the upper/lower limit positions:

Use the UP/Down button to move the desk to any new position. Press and hold the "M" button until the LED display flashes "S" once and let go of the button. Then press and release the "M" button in succession until the display changes to "555" (ignore any interim readings). After a few seconds, the display automatically will change back to the numbered height position. The upper and lower limits are now removed.

After the upper and lower limits are set, the previous memory positions (1,2,3,4) may be outside the new range of movement. If so, simply reset the memory positions.

If you attempt to revise a previously set upper or lower limit and it is outside of the existing range, you will need to remove the previously set upper/lower limits first.
