FAREXON electric single motor standing desk setup guide

Product Overview

The FAREXON electric single motor standing desk is a height-adjustable workstation that moves with a handset, and this FAREXON electric single motor standing desk manual explains how to assemble and operate it. A single-motor leg uses a sync rod so both sides lift together, helping the desktop stay level while you switch between sitting and standing.

Information in this guide is sourced entirely from FAREXON's official Electric Single Motor Standing Desk documentation.

If you are replacing a fixed-height desk or upgrading from a basic table, the single-motor lift and four memory presets help you change posture quickly without moving your equipment.

Best suited for:

• Users who want simple handset height control with stored positions.
• Workstations that stay within a published load rating of 80 kg.
• Setups that benefit from a built-in outlet box and included mouse pad.

Consider alternatives if:

• You need published height range or lift speed specifications, because the manual does not list them.
• You want features beyond the documented handset controls and presets.

FAREXON electric single motor standing desk manual highlights

The documentation emphasizes correct bracket orientation, careful screw tightening, and fully seating the sync rod. These details reduce assembly mistakes that can lead to wobble or uneven lifting later.

What's in the Box

The box includes the tabletop panels, lifting frame components, handset controller, and the fasteners needed to assemble the desk. Verifying the parts list first helps you avoid stopping mid-assembly and ensures you use the correct screw type at each step.

• Desktop panels: Desktop-a (1), Desktop-b (1), Desktop-c (2) for the finished work surface.
• Frame parts: left leg (1), right leg (1), support beams (2), side brackets (2), bases/feet (2), sync rod (1).
• Electrical parts: controller/handset (1), AC adapter/power supply (1), power cable (1), outlet box (1).
• Hardware and tools: leveling studs (4), wire clips (5), 4 mm Allen key (1), screws M6x12 (36), screws M5x8 (14), screws M6x35 (10), wooden rods (14), iron connectors (4), hooks (2), mouse pad (1).

Safety Warnings

The official documentation focuses on preventing hardware damage during assembly and avoiding finish damage during cleaning. Following these warnings helps screws hold their torque, keeps surfaces looking consistent, and reduces the chance of needing to disassemble the frame to fix preventable issues.

Warning: Do not forcefully over-tighten screws. The manual notes that excessive tightening can damage the screw.

• Hazard – surface damage: Do not use a wet cloth or hard materials to wipe the tabletop surface during daily cleaning.
• Hazard – chemical damage: Avoid contact with acid-based chemicals on the desk surface.
• Hazard – finish damage: Avoid attaching tape directly to the outer surface of the metal feet to help prevent paint from peeling.

Installation Instructions

Installation builds the tabletop first, then assembles the lifting frame, and finally mounts the frame, controller, and power parts under the desktop. The manual matches each step to specific fasteners, so keeping the steps in order helps the frame stay square and reduces the chance of stripping screws by rework.

1. Join the desktop panels using the wooden rods. Insert the rods into the pre-drilled holes so the seams align before tightening anything.
2. Attach the four iron connectors to the underside of the desktop using the 4 mm Allen key and M6x12 screws.

   Note: The manual specifies the connector's horizontal bar should be perpendicular to the tabletop seam.

3. Build one side of the frame by fastening a support beam between the left and right legs with M5x8 screws.
4. Install the second support beam on the opposite side of the legs the same way, forming a rigid rectangle.
5. Attach the bases/feet and install the four leveling studs. Adjust the studs later to remove wobble on uneven floors.
6. Stand the frame up and install the side brackets in the direction shown.

   Note: The manual highlights bracket direction as critical, and shows the correct orientation. You can also mount the two hooks at this stage.

7. Install the sync rod and tighten the two end screws. Insert the hexagonal rod into the motor leg shaft and lock the plastic nut, then connect the other end to the pre-built rod on the other leg and lock its nut.

   Note: The manual states both ends of the sync rod should be inserted tightly.

8. Mount the assembled frame to the underside of the desktop with M6x12 screws.
9. Install the AC adapter and the controller/handset under the desktop, then route the cables so they cannot snag during travel.
10. Press the outlet box firmly into the desktop opening and place the mouse pad as shown in the final assembly drawing.

Tip: Before the first power-on, confirm the side brackets match the illustrated direction and the sync rod ends are fully seated and locked.

How to Use the FAREXON electric single motor standing desk

To use the desk, connect the power supply, then press the handset Up or Down buttons to move to a comfortable height. For one-touch presets, store a height to buttons 1 to 4, then tap the saved button and the desk adjusts automatically. If the desk shows an error or moves abnormally, run a reset.

Adjust height with the handset

Press Up to raise the desktop and press Down to lower it. Using the handset instead of forcing the frame by hand protects the motor, sync rod, and mounting screws.

Save and recall memory heights

To save a working height, press and hold one of the memory buttons 1, 2, 3, or 4 until you hear a beep, then release. To recall, press the stored button once and the desk automatically moves to that position. This is useful when multiple people share the same desk.

Reset after an error or abnormal behavior

If the desk does not work properly or an error code appears, reset it. Unplug the power supply for about 20 seconds, plug it back in, and let the desk complete the automatic reset cycle. The manual indicates the reset finishes when the display shows 69.

Technical Specifications

This section lists the numeric limits and controller behaviors that the documentation makes explicit. Use these values to stay within the supported load, understand how many height presets you can store, and recognize the display indication that the reset routine completed successfully.

Expert Tips

The manual includes short notes that are easy to miss but important for a clean build. Applying these tips helps the tabletop seams stay aligned, keeps the lifting frame square, and reduces the likelihood of uneven movement caused by orientation errors or loose sync components.

• Align iron connectors so the horizontal bar is perpendicular to the tabletop seam before tightening, which helps pull panels together evenly.
• Match the side bracket direction shown in the drawings to avoid misalignment with mounting holes and hook placement.
• Fully seat and lock both ends of the sync rod so the legs lift together.
• If the desk behaves strangely, perform the documented power-cycle reset instead of repeatedly pressing buttons.

Common Mistakes

Most documented issues come from assembly orientation errors, over-tightening, or skipping the reset process after a fault. Avoiding these mistakes reduces rework, prevents screw damage, and helps the desk remain stable and level when you change heights during the day.

• Over-tightening screws until they strip or bind, which the manual warns can damage the fastener.
• Installing side brackets in the wrong direction, which can block correct mounting.
• Leaving sync rod ends partially inserted or not locking the plastic nuts, leading to uneven lift behavior.
• Cleaning with a wet cloth or acid-based chemicals, risking surface damage.

Troubleshooting

If the desk will not move, behaves unpredictably, or shows an error code, the official documentation primarily directs you to perform a reset cycle. Resetting clears many control states and re-establishes the reference position used by the handset. If the reset does not resolve the issue, contact the manufacturer for support.

Maintenance and Care

Maintenance guidance in the documentation is straightforward: keep surfaces clean without moisture or abrasive contact, and avoid chemicals that can attack finishes. These habits protect the tabletop coating and the painted metal feet, so the desk keeps its appearance through daily use and repeated height adjustments.

• Wipe dust with a clean, soft cloth. Do not use a wet cloth or abrasive materials.
• Avoid acid-based chemicals on desk surfaces.
• For light scratches, gently wipe with a soft cloth to smooth the mark.
• Avoid taping directly onto the outer surface of the metal feet to help prevent paint peeling.

Next Steps

After assembly, test Up, Down, and one saved preset with the desktop empty, then again with your typical equipment load. If you see an error code or abnormal motion, run the reset procedure before doing deeper checks. For unresolved issues, follow the manual's instruction to contact the manufacturer for help.
