What ASR Means on Standing Desk

ASR stands for Anti-Collapse Stability Range. When the controller unit cannot read the desk’s height correctly, this error message appears. Resetting the desk can solve the problem. Here’s how to fix the ASR error on standing desks:

  • Turn off the desk for 10 seconds
  • Turn it back on
  • Wait for the desk to fully rise and lower

If the ASR error persists, consult the desk’s manual or contact customer support.

Causes of ASR Error on Electric Standing Desk

An ASR error on a sit-stand desk is displayed when the controller is unable to detect its position relative to the minimum position, and it can be caused by several reasons:

  1. Power Loss: If the electricity is suddenly disconnected even for a second, it can cause the controller unit to lose its current position and display the ASR Error. Power loss can be caused by electricity outage, loose cables, or cable pull out by accident.

  2. Control Box at Rest: In most standing desks, the controller unit will go into REST MODE if not used for several minutes or hours. Although this function benefits both the controller’s longevity and saving energy, it can sometimes cause problems such as the ASR Error.

  3. Overloading the Desk: Each standing desk model has a specific weight limit that’s tested and measured by the manufacturer. If you put more stuff on the desk than it can handle, it might interfere with the controller unit and force it to show an ASR error.

  4. Legs Failure: Standing desks usually have a dual motor system, and each motor is responsible for its own leg. Sometimes the system may malfunction and move the legs unevenly, which can interfere with the controller and lead to the ASR error. It can also be caused by wobbly desk legs.

Steps to Fix ASR Error on Height Adjustable Desk

The main solution to the ASR error on a standing desk is simply resetting the desk. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Remove All Items Below the Desk: Look below your desk and remove any object that may stop the desk from going down.

  2. Press and Hold Down the Arrow Button: Press and hold the down arrow button until the desk reaches its minimum level then release it. If the arrow button does not respond, unplug the power cable and hold the down arrow button for 10 seconds to discharge any stored electricity left in the unit. Plug the desk back in and try lowering the desk.

  3. Press and Hold Again to Reset: Make sure the desk is set to its lowest height, and now press and hold the down arrow button again for a few seconds until the display panel shows RESET. In some models, you need to push and hold the “▼” again for the third time until the desk moves slightly, and then it resets!

  4. Confirm Desk Reset: After resetting the desk, your desk’s LED display will show the numbers again and the ASR message is gone.
