Storing the memory positions
DPG1B:
Memory positions
The DPG1B has a “store memory” button to the right symbolised with a star.
Adjust the desk to a preferred position and press the “Star”-button for 2 seconds. The light strip will now flash
white two times to indicate that saving the position is in progress. When the light strip becomes static white,
the position is saved. If the user adjusts the desk to another position and saves the position, it will overwrite the
memory position closest to the current position.
DPG1C:
Memory positions 1 and 2
The DPG1C has a “store memory” button to the right symbolised with a star.
Adjust the desk to a preferred position and press the “Star”-button for 2 seconds. The light strip will now flash
white two times to indicate that saving the position is in progress. When the light strip becomes static white, the
position has been saved. The display will indicate the saved position with a star and a number of the position. The
number inside the star indicates the order according to which the positions are saved; First position saved; A star
with a “1” inside. This is how to save 2 memory positions “1” and “2”. If the user adjusts the desk to another
position and saves the position, it will overwrite the memory position 1 or 2 closest to the current position.
Memory positions 3 and 4
The DPG1C features 4 memory positions. Pressing the “Star” shortly will make the display show the 4 memory
positions: A “star” with the number next to it. Now the user can toggle through these 4 memory positions in
the display and choose which one to save the current position as. E.g. a user wants to store the current position
as memory 3: Press the “star”-button and toggle to the “star” with “3” next to it. Now use the same storing
procedure as described above: Press the star for 2 seconds and the memory position is saved.

Driving to memory positions
After storing the memory positions, the positions can be reached simply by tilting the DPG. Tilt and hold - when
a stored position is reached, the desk stops. This way the user can easily change between sitting and standing
position without looking at the DPG in the meantime. While driving the display in the DPG1C will show the
height of the desk. When a position is reached, this will be indicated in the display by the star and the memory
number.
The DPG will stop at all stored memory positions, which means up to 4 different positions (in DPG1C) during the
stroke length of the desk. When the desk stops at a memory position, the user can continue to tilt the DPG for 1
second and the desk will move past the memory position and continue in the direction of the tilt. Furthermore,
when the desk stops at a memory position, the user can release the DPG and tilt again immediately to move
past a memory position.
Driving to memory positions
(Automatic drive enabled via the Desk Control™ App, only possible for “Full version”)
After storing the memory positions, the positions can be reached simply by tilting the DPG. Double tab on the
DPG to let the desk adjust automatically to the first position in the direction of the double tap. Simply tab the
DPG again to stop the driving of the desk.

Reminder
Setting the reminder interval
The DPG has a “Reminder” button to the left symbolised with a bell. Pressing this button will adjust the interval
of how often to get reminders to change position. Each white block represents an interval and the 3 standards
are:
- Interval 1: Reminder after 55 minutes sitting
- Interval 2: Reminder after 50 minutes sitting
- Interval 3: Reminder after 45 minutes sitting
The default interval chosen is reminding after 55 mins, which means one white block will be lit up. Simply toggle
through the intervals by pressing the bell button. When no white blocks are lit up, the reminder is turned off.
Through the apps, it is possible to personalise the three intervals to custom values.
Interval 1: Reminder after 55 minutes sitting Interval 2: Reminder after 50 minutes sitting
Interval 3: Reminder after 45 minutes sitting Reminder off
Reminder reset
It is possible to reset the reminder to default values by pressing the “bell” symbol for 8 seconds. The light strip
will flash red to indicate when the action is completed.

Light strip reminder
The light strip is a thin line of LED light shining through the surface of the DPG. The light strip is intended to
indicate the status of the desk user. The status depends on the reminder interval chosen. When the user is in
position in an appropriate amount of time according to the interval, the light strip calmly pulsates green. When
the sitting interval runs out, the calm pulsating green turns into fast pulsating orange for 1 min hereafter static
orange – this is an indication to the user to adjust the desk to standing height. In standing height, the light strip
will pulsate green until a potential timeout. When the desk is adjusted back to sitting position, the light strip will
pulsate green until the reminder goes off again.
After 4 hours without any action, the light strip will time out. When the DPG is tilted, the green light will come
back on.
TM
Please be aware; When the light strip is enabled for reminders, the DPG is no longer in ZERO
mode as
long as the light is on/active.

Factory reset
Pressing and holding the “Memory” and “Reminder” for 8 seconds will set the DPG to factory default. The LED
will flash red 3 times. If a factory reset is performed, it sets the DPG back to the configured state. That means all
configurations made in the DPG configurator will not be reset – only the settings changed directly on the DPG or
in the App by the end-user will be deleted.
DPG1C
Display
The DPG1C has an OLED display, which shows the height during drive of the desk and many other texts to guide
the user.
Adjust the initial height of the desk
If the height shown in the display is not correct the height can be adjusted. When pressing the “Reminder” and
the “Bluetooth” button on the DPG1C at the same time in 5 seconds; the height in the display starts to blink.
When tilting the DPG1C the height in the display changes without moving the desk. Tilt up to increase the
height, tilt down to decrease the shown height in the display. Pressing any button will confirm the choice or wait
for 10 seconds and the confirmation happens automatically.
Switching between centimetre and inch
Pressing the “Memory” and the “Bluetooth” button on the DPG1C at the same time for 5 seconds; the current
measurement unit blinks. When e.g. CM is blinking and the user wants to change to inch; Tilt the DPG once and
it now says “Inch” in the display. Pressing any button will confirm the choice or wait for 10 seconds and the
confirmation happens automatically.
Error codes
The DPG1C shows error codes in case of errors in the system. The most common errors loop between the error

Mounting of the DPG:
When mounting the DPG, there are a few things of which to be aware.
1. Predrill the holes
We recommend predrilling the holes for the DPG to ensure the same aligned position for every desk.
If no holes are predrilled, a bulge of wood might
occur between the tabletop and the DPG – which
causes the DPG not to be tightened sufficiently
to the tabletop. This might lead to incorrect
functionality of the DPG.
DPG without cover DPG with cover
Max screw length 19 mm + thickness
of the tabletop
Please observe that a DPG version with cover requires a 13 mm longer screw
BRC DPG CONTROLLER USER GUIDE
DESK CONTROL APP PLACEMENT & MOUNTING RESET DPG1B/C OPERATION DPG OPERATION PRODUCT MAP
2. Use correct screws
When mounting the DPG to the tabletop, screws
with the following specification must be used:
- Ø4.5 mm
- 90° countersink screw
Do not use screws with a milling head as
they will cut into the housing of the DPG.
The screws must be fastened sufficiently, without overtightening the screws. It is not possible to mention a
specific torque as this depends on the type of screw, the material of tabletop and whether there are predrilled
holes or not.
3. Do not overtighten the screws
4. When mounting the DPG, make sure that the
cable is not tightened too much
Do not overtighten the screws. They must of course
be fastened sufficiently, but without damaging the
plastic.
When mounting the DPG, it is important to ensure
that the cable is not tightened, but has free mobility
in the first centimetres from the housing. We
recommend attaching the cable to the tabletop
with a clip as shown on the drawing above.

Preparing the tabletop for both DPG sizes (DPG1K/M and DPG1B/C)
The DPG series consists of 4 different desk panels in 2 different sizes. The DPG1K and the DPG1M are the same
size and the DPG1B and the DPG1C are the same size.
The two sizes share one hole in the hole pattern, which means 3 predrilled holes in the tabletop will make it
possible to mount both sizes of the DPG and all 4 versions.

Reminder notifications
When reminder notifications are enabled on the smart device, pop-up notifications will occur to help guide the
user when there is a need to change position. Below are examples on the notifications that will pop up on your
screen when it is time to adjust your desk again. The reminders will appear based on your settings.
The notification will tell the user to change position. There are 3 notification options:
- Snooze the reminder: The notification will pop up one hour later.
- Disable reminders for today: The notifications will stop for the day, but they will be enabled again the next day.
- Open app: Opens the app allowing the user to adjust the desk. (If supported by the connected product)
Be aware, that the notification only works, when they are answered via the Desk ControlTM App. If the
notification is answered on the DPG or other controls, the app do not understand users input, as the notifications
only respond to actions taken in the app. This means that the notifications are going out of synchronisation, and
will not give you more notifications until these have been reset in the app or the next day.
The notifications are based on users goal set under ‘You’. If the goal is set to 10 min standing, 50 min sitting.
The notification will be send after the user have been sitting for 50 minutes. When the table is moved aboved 95
cm, the DPG and app are put into standing position until it is moved down again. When reaching sitting position
(under 95 cm), the notification is being reset and a new notification will appear after 50 min.
Notifications ONLY appears, when user is sitting – not in standing position.

Recommendations on how to use Desk ControlTM
Overriding a learned sedentary behaviour is a true behavioural challenge. We have put together a guide for how
to break up with your chair during your workday.
If you are not used to stand up and work, start with short intervals focusing on learning and getting into a habit.
When this behaviour is starting to get a habit, continue to stand for longer periods e.g. using the below guide or
simply testing what feels comfortable for you.
How to vary between standing and sitting while your work
The most important thing is to vary your position and to move around, preferably three times an hour.
Instead of sitting for too long at a time, you can switch between standing and sitting position.
Remember good posture and to stand with your body weight evenly distributed on both legs.
• Start by raising your desk and stand for 15 minutes each hour before you go to lunch.
• Raise your desk just before your lunch break. Then your desk will be in the right position when you get back
from lunch.
• Just after lunch, stand for 15 minutes before lowering your desk to sit for 45 minutes.
• Raise your desk again every hour, so that you stand up working for 15 minutes each hour or the rest of the day.
• Raise your desk before you leave for the day – then it is ready for the next day.
Important reservations when varying between standing and sitting position:
If you are pregnant, have varicose veins or have a health condition that may prevent you from standing for
5-15 minutes at a time every hour, you should contact your doctor to make sure that this will not be
detrimental to your health.
