SAFETY DISCLAIMER IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WARNING: Failure to provide adequate structural strengthening, prior to installation can result in serious personal injury or damage to the equipment. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the structure to which the component is affixed can support four times the weight of the component and any additional apparatus mounted to the component. WARNING: Do not exceed the weight capacity for this product as listed below. This can result in serious personal injury or damage to the equipment. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the total combined weight of all attached components does not exceed that of the maximum figure stated. WARNING: Risk of death or serious injury may occur when children climb on audio and/or video equipment or furniture. A remote control or toys placed on the furnishing may encourage a child to climb on the furnishing and as a result the furnishing may tip over on to the child. WARNING: Risk of death or serious injury may occur. Relocating audio and/or video equipment to furniture not specifically designed to support audio and/or video equipment may result in death or serious injury due to the furnishing collapsing or over turning onto a child or adult. WARNING – RISK OF INJURY! Only for use with equipment weighing 88LBS (40KG) OR LESS. Use with heavier projectors/equipment may lead to instability causing tip over or failure resulting in death or serious injury. Bracket Suitable for Residential and Commercial Use.

MECHANISM QUICK-START GUIDE Some Future Automation mechanisms may ship with the control box disconnected to prevent damage during transit. In order to operate the mechanism, the control box will need to reconnected, then have mains power applied along with the desired control method. RECONNECTING THE CONTROL BOX To reconnect the mechanism control box, follow the below steps: 1. Make sure the power is disconnected from the control box. 2. Remove the retaining screw and washer from the end of the control box to allow removal of the control box lid. (Image 1 Below). 3. Slide off the control box lid to reveal the control board inside. 4. Locate the green connector on the end of the loom leading from the lift mechanism. This plug will have a small tag attached stating the correct connecting socket on the control board (e.g. “AC1”, “DC2”...) (Image 2 Below). 5. Plug the green connector into the corresponding socket on the control board. This plug is handed and will only connect correctly one way. Do NOT force the connector into the socket, this can cause serious damage to the control board and mechanism. 6. Route the wiring loom out of the end of the control box by inserting the black plastic inserts into the slots provided. (Image 3 Below). 7. Slide the control box cover back over the control board and replace the fixing screw and washer. Image 1. Image 2. Image 3. Image 4. IMPORTANT For the mechanism to operate, the green three way safety connector with the loop of wire attached, must also be plugged into the end of the control box. (Image 4 above). If this connector is not plugged in, a bright red LED will be visible inside control board and the Input Confirmation Input LED will be permanently illuminated. 5

GENERAL CONTROL This mechanism has multiple standard control methods, each of which requires a different input method to the control box. For ease, the input sockets on the control board are labelled below. (Control box size and style may vary to image shown) Mains Voltage Input CONTROL BOX INPUTS RS232 (RJ11/RJ25) Contact Closure (RJ45) Input Confirmation LED Emergency Stop Connector IR Input Jack (3.5mm) MECHANISM EMERGENCY STOP CONNECTOR This mechanism features an Emergency Stop Connector, which MUST be plugged into the control box in the connector labelled above for the mechanism to operate. If this connector is not plugged in, the Input Confirmation LED will be permanently lit. As per the red plastic tag attached to the Emergency Stop Connector (and shown below), the small loop of wire in this connector is designed to be replaced by a third party safety mechanism. REPLACING MECHANISM BATTERIES The standard Future Automation Infrared (IR) remote control required x2 AAA batteries to operate. These are provided with the mechanism in the Accessories Pack. These batteries can be replaced as the per the image below. 14

INFRARED (IR) This mechanism can be controlled via the supplied 14 button Infrared (IR) Remote Control, paired with the supplied Infrared (IR) lead and sensor. The mechanism's functions can be controlled by plugging the Infrared (IR) lead and sensor into the 3.5mm IR Input Jack shown on the General Mechanism Control page. Confirmation of Infrared (IR) input will be shown by a single flash of the large green LED located on the end of the control box. As Infrared (IR) control works over line of site, the Infrared (IR) sensor must be directly viewable from what ever location the remote control is being used from. Infrared (IR) Remote Control Button Layout IN - Brings the mechanism into the cabinet. OUT - Brings the mechanism out of the cabinet to the programmed OUT position. (If no OUT position has been programmed, the mechanism will raise to its maximum OUT position) STOP - Will stop the operation of the mechanism at ANY position. Storing Positions STORE -> OUT - Pressed sequentially within 2 seconds of each other. Set current mechanism height as OUT position. (Mechanism will begin to close automatically and must fully close to set this position. Any interruption will cancel the process) NOTE - Mechanim must remain on IN switch for minimum of 3 seconds in order to set position. STORE -> STOP -> OUT - Pressed sequentially within 2 seconds of each other. Clear current mechanism OUT position. IMPORTANT Only buttons indicated above are functional with the product. Any other button press will STOP the mechanism. 15

RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) If purchased with the Radio Frequency (RF) control option, this mechanism can be controlled via the supplied 4 button Radio Frequency (RF) Remote Control, paired with the in-built Radio Frequency (RF) sensor. Confirmation of Radio Frequency (RF) input will be shown by a single flash of the large green LED located on the end of the control box. Radio Frequency (RF) control does not require line of site, but signal can affected cabinet thickness, cabinet material or other electronic signals (i.e. strong WIFI signals). Radio Frequency (RF) Remote Control Button Layout IN - Brings the mechanism into OUT - Brings the mechanism the cabinet. out of the cabinet, without swivelling. STOP - Will stop the operation of STOP - Will stop the operation of the mechanism at ANY position. the mechanism at ANY position. The Radio Frequency (RF) Remote Control can only be used to recall the above functions. The mechanism limits and preset positions must be programmed using the supplied Infrared (IR) Remote Control. IMPORTANT Pressing any button while the mechanism is moving will STOP the mechanism. Mechanism Output Power Supply It is possible for the power to the screen to be switched by the control box. Use this connector to take power to the screen. EARTH LIVE NEUTRAL 16
