ISSUE 020 SHEET 2 of 7 Technical Sheet MLI - Marine Lift Inverted Mechanism Design Highlights The MLI is an extremely robust screen lifting solution, making it ideal for applications where extra strength is required. The electric flap lifts up into the cabinet by approximately 40mm [1.5"] before rolling back in the cabinet. The screen is then lowered through the aperture in the celiling. 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. Once fully dropped, the base panel fills the aperture in the ceiling. Flap Panel concealed inside Many size options are available allowing cabinet when the lift is up. 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 Base Panel during mechanism operation. under screen Flap Panel 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 MLIS 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 020 SHEET 3 of 7 Technical Sheet MLI - Marine Lift Inverted Mechanism Example of a Important Information Thicker Ceiling Material Start with screen size. Match the size of your screen to one of the 9.4 standard lift sizes. Make sure that you don't include the stand, as a 275 suitable support framework will be supplied with the mechanism. Make sure the size includes any clip on speakers required. 2.3 1.0 69 25 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. The base goes above the screen and will need holes drilled during [0.6 to 0.8"] installation for the support framework and screen cables. 17 to 20mm The height and width are critical so make the cabinet to the exact 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. 6.1 181 Full front or back access is required in order to insert the mechanism within the cabinet. The section above shows the use The weight limit is 50Kg [110lb] for the sizes given in this document. of a thicker ceiling material. For installation of heavier screens a taller mechanism is required . This is possible but the thickness around the mechanism must be between 17 and 20mm. www.futureautomation.co.uk tel: +44 (0) 1438 833 577 fax: +44 (0) 1438 833 565

ISSUE 020 SHEET 7 of 7 Technical Sheet MLI - Marine Lift Inverted Mechanism MLIS - Lift with Swivel Function The MLIS 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. MLIS - Base Panel Details The MLIS mechanism requires the same base panel dimensions as a MLI mechanism. The base panel used on a MLIS 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 MLIS mechanisms. 4.0 VIEWING SIDE OF BASE PANEL
