ISSUE 019 SHEET 2 of 7 Technical Sheet ML - Marine Lift Mechanism Design Highlights The ML is an extremely robust screen lifting solution, making it ideal for applications where extra strength is required. The electric flap lowers into the cabinet by approximately 40mm [1.5"] before rolling back in the cabinet. The screen is then raised through the aperture in the cabinet top. This method of flap movement gives the neatest possible appearance as there is no flap panel visible when the screen is in the viewing position. Flap Panel concealed inside cabinet when the lift is up. Once fully elevated, the base panel fills the Base Panel aperture in the cabinet top. under screen Flap Panel Many size options are available allowing the most efficient cabinet dimensions to be used for the chosen screen. Full cable management keeps all screen power and signal cables safe and secure during mechanism operation. Many mounting options are available for Loewe and Bang & Olufsen screens. An advanced control system allows the lift mechanism to be easily controlled via home automation systems such as Crestron and AMX. Two way communication is also possible via RS232. With MLS mechanisms, up to 180 of movement is possible in both clockwise and counter clockwise directions. Up to four angular positions can be stored in the mechanisms memory via the IR remote control. www.futureautomation.co.uk tel: +44 (0) 1438 833 577 fax: +44 (0) 1438 833 565

ISSUE 019 SHEET 3 of 7 Technical Sheet ML - Marine Lift Mechanism Example of a Important Information Thicker Cabinet Top Start with screen size. Match the size of your screen to one of the standard lift sizes. Make sure that you don't include the stand, as a 6.1 suitable support framework will be supplied with the mechanism. 181 Make sure the size includes any clip on speakers required. The flap is only 6mm thick. This is bonded to an Aluminium section beneath supplied with the lift. This will help prevent warping. It is advisable to varnish both sides of the flap. [0.6 to 0.8"] 17 to 20mm The base goes under the screen and will need holes drilled during installation for the support framework and screen cables. 1.0 2.3 The height and width are critical so make the cabinet to the exact 25 69 size stated in the technical sheets. The lift mechanism will be slightly smaller than the sizes given. The depth of the cabinet can be increased. 9.4 275 Full front or back access is required in order to insert the mechanism within the cabinet. The section above shows the use of a thicker cabinet top. This is possible but the top thickness For safety reasons it is advisable for the cabinet around the mechanism must be top to be held on only with dowels. This will allow the top to be lifted between 17 and 20mm. off if a hand is placed in the opening when the screen is lifting. The weight limit is 50Kg [110lb] for the sizes given in this document. For installation of heavier screens a taller mechanism is required . www.futureautomation.co.uk tel: +44 (0) 1438 833 577 fax: +44 (0) 1438 833 565

ISSUE 019 SHEET 7 of 7 Technical Sheet ML - Marine Lift Mechanism MLS - Lift with Swivel Function The MLS mechanism allows a screen to be rotated up to 180 clockwise and counter clockwise about its centre. Up to four user defined angular positions can be stored in the mechanisms memory via the IR remote control. MLS - Base Panel Details The MLS mechanism requires the same base panel dimensions as a ML mechanism. The base panel used on a MLS mechanism simply requires an additional circular cut out for the swivelling mount the fix through. 85 3.3 Dimensions shown, right, are correct for Depth 275 and Depth 320 MLS mechanisms. 4.0 VIEWING SIDE OF BASE PANEL
