Dual actuators from LINAK only use wireless control options. The integrated Bluetooth communication allows you to pair the electric actuator system with either one of our wireless hand controls, the LINAK Bed Control App, or your own customized app.

Beds can be designed in many ways, but for adjustable beds the choice is typically between single actuator systems, dual actuator systems, or a combination of both. However, the bed frames for each of these systems are very different.

For electric dual actuator systems the bed frame simply needs to have the standard spacing between the crossbars responsible for adjusting the back or leg part of a bed. This crossbar must also have twist brackets mounted so the dual actuators have something to push to perform movement.

In this video you can see how mounting happens.

A dual linear actuator is mounted on crossbars with twist brackets on. This means that the rotational movement created by a dual actuator pushes the twist bracket in a way that rotates the cross bar, which in turn then moves some part of an adjustable bed.

At LINAK we work with two types of dual actuators: Standard and Advanced.

The Standard versions offer back and leg adjustment with only one unit as well as the following integrated features: mechanical emergency lowering, low stand-by power consumption, and integrated under-bed light.

The Advanced versions of the LINAK dual actuator offer the same features as the Standard version – and then something extra. In addition, they offer the option of parallel drive of two beds, the possibility of saving favorite positions, and adding extra accessories such as massage motors or extra under-bed light.

You can tell the Standard and Advanced versions apart by looking at the plugs. If there is an available plug after having connected the power cord – you have an advanced version.

The LINAK® dual actuators, or TWINDRIVE^®, is an all-in-one solution where one unit offers two separate adjustments of a bed. The dual actuators are used to incorporate movement into an adjustable bed. We have optimized our dual actuators to ensure compatibility with most dual actuator bed frames, using standardized spacing between crossbars and universal twist bracket dimensions/designs found in the market.

The question about which dual actuator is best depends entirely on the bed you want to integrate movement into. Therefore, it is not possible to say which LINAK dual actuator is best for your bed design.

First, you will need to know how much force your bed design requires. For heavy constructions and mattresses, we recommend TD5, whereas for slatted beds with lighter mattresses, we recommend TD4.

Secondly, you will need to know which features you want your bed to have. For all the standard features the standard version of the dual actuator is fine. However, should you require an extra actuator, parallel drive of two beds, and also want to offer the possibility of saving favorite positions, you will need an advanced dual actuator.

To find out exactly which system fits your requirements, our sales people are always ready to help you find the right solution.

The Bluetooth^® Low Energy antenna is mounted on the PCB inside the aluminum housing of the actuator. The housing reduces the signal strength significantly and it is therefore important to also plug in the signal cable. The signal cable has a dedicated wire to boost the BLE^® signal and, if this is not plugged in, you will have trouble connecting to the actuator in Actuator Connect.

At LINAK^® we currently supply actuators with two different CAN bus software versions - v1.x or v3.x.

Determine the actuator version with the LINAK BusLink software
Connect the actuator to the BusLink software to verify the correct software version. When the actuator is connected you can find the ‘Connection Information’ tab. In the example below, the LA36 CAN bus actuator has version 3.0.

For further information, please see the BusLink service interface chapter in the CAN bus user manual.

 

What is the difference between version 1.x and version 3.x?
On CAN bus v 3.0 we have introduced several new functionalities - such as hardware addressing, dynamic speed adjustment, soft start/stop commands and increased compatibility (125 kbps, 250 kbps, 500 kbps and Autobaud).
Please note that the soft start/stop must now be defined in the CAN bus command (in version 3.x). If left at 0 it will result in no ramping. If set to 251 it will use the actuator’s predefined factory settings. Any number in between will set the ramping time.

For further information, please see the Communication chapter in the CAN bus user manual.

Watch and learn how to easily clean your LINAK desk panel/switch in this short instruction video: How to clean it; which cleaning agents to use; and, last but not least, what you need to pay attention to.

Clean your desk panel with a soft damp cloth. Universal cleaning detergents may be used.

For disinfection of the desk panel, use a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol either as a wipe or add a small amount to a soft cloth.

Warnings
The desk panel is not a sealed unit and there are electronics inside it. If liquids or moisture enter an opening, the PCB may be damaged, and the desk panel ruined.

Therefore:

• Avoid moisture penetrating any openings as this may damage the PCB inside the desk panel
• Avoid spraying the cleaning agent or disinfectant directly on the desk panel as moisture may penetrate openings and damage the PCB inside the desk panel
• Cleaning agents and disinfectants must not be highly alkaline or acidic (pH value must be 6 to 8), and they must not contain bleach or chlorine
• Do not use hand sanitizer gel as a cleaning agent

Alkaline and acidic cleaning agents may, over time, decompose the housing. Hand sanitizer gel may deposit on the desk panel buttons. Over time, the buttons may be stuck, or they may not work properly.

How to add, remove or replace an actuator in your IC™ parallel actuator system.

To add or remove an actuator:

1. Connect all actuators to BusLink to configure the number of actuators in your parallel system
2. Before running the system, let the system initialize itself

To replace an actuator:

1. Power the system off and replace the actuator
2. Power the system on and the new actuator will automatically catch up to the position of the remaining actuators

How to initialize your IC™ parallel actuator system.

Initialize the system in two ways:

1. Let the system initialize itself via Recovery mode, where the actuators automatically run in steps of 2000ms on and off for a full stroke length
2. Initialize the system manually by using the BusLink software. Only the actuator in ‘position lost’ needs to be initialized by running the actuator to its mechanical endstop in one direction

How to troubleshoot on your IC™ parallel actuator system.

If an actuator has lost its position, the parallel system will enter Recovery mode and initialize itself. If the system is unable to run in recovery mode, please continue this troubleshooting process:

1. Check cabling, power supply and communication signals between actuators
2. Connect each actuator to the BusLink software and look at the error codes to identify which actuator has caused the system to stop

If it is an overcurrent error code, restart the system by running it in the opposite direction.

If these error codes are registered, actuator replacement is necessary: H-bridge fault, switch mode power supply fault, or hall sensor failure.

Still having trouble? Please contact your local LINAK^® office.
