ISSUE 005 SHEET 2 of 7 Technical Sheet PLI - Plasma Lift Inverted Design Highlights 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 ceiling. 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. Many size options are available allowing the most efficient cabinet dimensions to be used for the chosen screen. Full cable management keeps all screen FLAP PANEL power and signal cables safe and secure CONCEALED during mechanism operation. INSIDE WHEN THE SCREEN IS OUT Many mounting options are available for Loewe and Bang & Olufsen screens. An advanced control system allows the lift BASE PANEL mechanism to be easily controlled via home FLAP PANEL UNDER SCREEN automation systems such as Crestron and AMX. Two way communication is also possible via RS232. With PLIS 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 005 SHEET 3 of 7 Technical Sheet PLI - Plasma Lift Inverted Important Information EXAMPLE OF A THICKER CEILING MATERIAL 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 suitable 275 support framework will be supplied with the mechanism. Make sure the size includes any clip on speakers required. 69 25 The flap is only 6mm thick. This is bonded to an [0.6 to 0.8] PLIS Aluminium section beneath supplied with the lift. 17 to 20mm 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 installation for the support framework and screen cables. 181 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. Full front or back access is required in order to insert the mechanism within the cabinet. The PLIS incorporates a The weight limit is 50Kg [110lb] for the sizes given in swivel movement to the action this document. For installation of heavier screens a of the screen. The screen is taller mechanism is required . able to rotate about its centre through a maximum angle of 180 CW and Anti-CW. www.futureautomation.co.uk tel: +44 (0) 1438 833 577 fax: +44 (0) 1438 833 565

ISSUE 005 SHEET 7 of 7 Technical Sheet PLI - Plasma Lift Inverted PLIS - Plasma Lift Swivel Inverted 2 way swivel can rotate through a maximum angle of 180 clockwise and anti-clockwise. Up to four ser defined angular positions can be stored in the mechanisms memory via the IR remote. 2.9 Base Panel 72.5 Distance to Centre The PLIS requires the same base panel dimensions as the PLI mechanism. The base panel used on a PLIS mechanism simply requires an additional hole cut out for the swivelling mount to fix through. Dimensions shown are correct for Depth 275 and Depth 320 PLIS mechanisms.
