DewertOkin SMARTneo (DS2/DS3): error codes and reset

Numeric codes shown after an “E” (for example E24, E36, E60) or “HOT” on a display handset (HSU, TOUCHfx, TOUCHinlay), and audible clicks from the SMARTneo control unit. Handsets without a display (HSCO, Motion Assist, TOUCHbasic) show no codes; use the click count instead.

Error codes

DisplayMeaningWhat to do
HOTFix yourselfThermal protection triggered.Wait until the control unit has cooled down and HOT disappears; the desk is then ready again.
E00 / E01 / E02Contact supplierInternal error on channel 1, 2 or 3.Unplug the control unit and contact the supplier or sales agent.
E12 / E13Contact supplierMalfunction on channel 1 or 2 (short circuit).Disconnect all cables from the control unit, find and remove the short circuit, reconnect and resume. If unclear, contact the supplier.
E24 / E25 / E48 / E62Fix yourselfOver-current at lifting column M1 (24), M2 (25), drive group 1 (48) or the control unit (62).The instruction groups these remedies: remove jammed objects from the movement range, remove excess load from the table, otherwise contact the supplier.
E60Fix yourselfCollision protection triggered.Clear the movement range and remove excess load; contact the supplier if it repeats without an obstacle.
E36 / E37 / E38Reset neededPlug detection at socket M1, M2 or M3.Connect the correct lifting column to the correct socket, then carry out a reset movement.
E61Reset neededIncorrect lifting columns detected.The adjacent remedy in the instruction is to connect the correct columns to the correct sockets and run a reset; if it persists, contact the supplier.
E55 / E56Reset neededSynchronisation fault in drive group 1 or 2.Remove the load from the table and carry out a reset. If the error remains, contact the supplier.
E67Contact supplierVoltage too high.Unplug the control unit and contact the supplier.
E70Reset neededDrive configuration changed.Disconnect mains, wait at least 5 seconds, reconnect and run a reset. The instruction also documents a key sequence (memory 1 + 2 + UP for about 10 s, select “S 7”) — use it only with the original handset documentation. Otherwise contact the supplier.
E71Reset neededAnti-pinch (sensor) configuration changed.Use the same remedies as E70. Removing the sensor unit on purpose requires the documented confirmation travel (upper end position until the control unit clicks three times).
E81Reset neededInternal error.Carry out the reset sequence; disconnect mains and reconnect after a few seconds. If it repeats, unplug and contact the supplier.

Reset step by step

  1. No safety function is active during a reset: keep people, pets and objects out of the travel path.
  2. Press and hold DOWN until the tabletop reaches its lowest position, then release.
  3. Press DOWN again and hold it.
  4. The columns move briefly down, then up, and stop. The reset is complete.

What the clicks mean (no display needed)

  1. 2 clicks: normal operation.
  2. 1 click: emergency mode — lifting columns cannot be used; check the handset code.
  3. 3 to 6 clicks: the last shutdown was incomplete; a forced reset movement follows.

When a reset is required

  1. Before first use.
  2. After any component cable was disconnected.
  3. After a power loss or unplugging during movement.
  4. After codes 36–38, 55/56, 70 and 81 as listed above.

Common questions

My handset has no display. How do I read the error?

Count the clicks from the SMARTneo control unit after power-up: two is normal, one means emergency mode, three to six means the last shutdown was incomplete.

Can I use these codes for another desk brand?

No. Numeric codes are controller-specific. E01 on this system is an internal channel error, while E-1 on the OKIN dual-column system means a reset is required.
