DPG with reminder

DPG desk panel models with reminder 
The DPG with reminder family consists of DPG1M, DPG1B and DPG1C Desk Panel models. All DPG models are activated by tilting; an easy intuitive way to adjust a desk without any attention needed. With the DPG, you get up to four memory positions which are reached by simply tilting the panel until the desk stops at the stored position. 

The colour indicates to the user to change position
The integrated reminder function of the three DPG Desk Panel models is visualised by a light. Its colour reflects the current usage status of the desk. A colour change of the light reminds the user when it is time to change position. The reminder function thus naturally supports the user to achieve a healthy posture variation throughout the day.

Compatible with the Desk Control™ app
DPG Desk Panel models with a reminder function are compatible with the Desk Control app, using the integrated Bluetooth® wireless technology. The app allows the user to keep track of his personal desk usage statistics on a smart device and get notifications when to stand.

Desk Panels DPG and Desk Control app user manual

This user manual will tell you how to install, use and maintain your LINAK DESKLINE® products.

DESKLINE product overview

If you make any kind of desk, table or counter that people work behind, a height adjustable electric actuator solution is the flexible way to gain a competitive edge and improve your business.

MOVE – Why sit-stand desks increase work performance

Reduce sick days and create a modern office environment with electric sit-stand desks. An attractive investment for employers and their employees.

Desk Panels DPG - the innovative way to adjust office desks

This intuitive desk panel series is designed to shape behaviour and is operated by tilting. Advanced models offer visual sit-stand reminders, height memory, Bluetooth® connectivity and much more.

Desk Control™ App - Can I combine the use of the app on more devices at the same time?

No. There is only one Bluetooth® connection on the DPG. So only one device can be connected at a time to the DPG. The device (either your mobile or your computer) that first connects with the DPG will be the device on which you can use the app.

Desk Control™ App - Why can I not operate my desk with the app?

You can use the app if your desk has Bluetooth® connection. The Bluetooth connection happens via a DPG desk panel with reminder (all app versions) or a BLE2LIN adapter (iOS, Android and Windows 10). If you have a DPG without Bluetooth, you cannot use the app.

How to clean your desk panel

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.

To disinfect the desk panel, use a 70% 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 get into an opening, the PCB may be damaged, and the desk panel ruined.

So:

  • 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, damaging 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 sanitiser gel as a cleaning agent

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