e g a t S Before you Start : n o i t Check the Operation of the Mechanism. a l l Firstly, remove all the red cable ties which keep the mechanism safe and secure during a t s transit. There are usually 6 ties in the locations circled on the image. n I However, on some models there may be more than 6 cable ties. Once they have all been removed, the mechanism can be powered up and tested. Connect the supplied IR remote and check that the mechanism operates correctly before continuing with the installation. IMPORTANT When testing the mechanism, make sure that the straps that pull the lifting beam up are not in any way twisted. They must remain perfectly straight from top to bottom. If this is not the case, then take care when straightening. Also make sure that the straps are stacking neatly when wrapping around the tubes.

PLS - Plasma Lift and Swivel I n s t a l l a t Fitting Flap Panel to the Mechanism i o n :

The 6mm flap and the base should be S t made as part of the cabinet. The surfaces a g of the flap should ideally be varnished or e

2 painted to help prevent it from warping. 5 . 2 86 0 1 One large hole to be drilled in base panel. This hole should be 86mm diameter to allow for adjustment later. The hole's centre has to be 102.5mm away from the front edge of the base panel. Depth of base panel depends on mechanism size, e.g. 275 or 320. Take care when fixing the surfaces together. Flap Place the objects on a flat surface to make sure the edges are properly aligned when they come into contact. Adhesive Pad Try to use as many self adhesive pads as possible to get the most secure fixture.

PLS - Plasma Lift and Swivel Stage 3 Fixing the Lift in the Cabinet Place the mechanism within the cabinet. Raise the beam to the top and carfully guide the base through the opening in the top. Installation: Place the mechanism within the cabinet. Raise the beam to the top and guide base through the opening in the top. IR remote STOP button will stop the lift. With the base properly located, use the 8 screws supplied, 4 on each side, to pin the mechanism in place, fixing its position left and right. These 8 screws should be screwed through the middle hole of each of the clusters of 3, shown below right. With the lift fixed in position, use 8 wood screws on each side to secure the lift to the cabinet. Page 7 of 22 // email info@futureautomation.co.uk tel: +44 (0) 1438 833577 fax: +44 (0) 1438 833565

PLS - Plasma Lift and Swivel I n s t a l l a Adjusting the Top Stop Position t i o n : By adjusting the white screw up or down, you can adjust S t the stop height of the lifting beam and also, the base panel. a g e

Once the height is set, you will need to make the base level by adjusting the strap hanger at the other end of the lift, shown to the left. Non-Adjustable Hanger Adjustable Hanger Page 8 of 22 // email info@futureautomation.co.uk tel: +44 (0) 1438 833577 fax: +44 (0) 1438 833565

e g a t Positioning the Base Panel S

: n Loosen off the frame and move the base to the o i t centre of the opening.There should be a gap of a l l about 3mm around the edges of the base panel a t s to the cabinet. n I Pass the cables up through the swivel unit and base to the screen. Secure the base in place from the underside through the two fixing brackets. Fixing Brackets Remove the screen mount from the mechanism and put the base on the beam. With the base panel on the beam, it will be possible to mark where the wood screws will need to go through the support plates into the base panel. Mark where the holes need to go and then drill a pilot hole for the screws. Then screw in the provided wood screws with washers. Base Once the base panel has been positioned correctly and properly secured, it is then possible to re-attach the mounting frame. Firstly make sure the mechanism is in the 'Home' position. Then the screen mounting frame can be bolted down. Make sure the mounting frame is square with the slot in the cabinet. Consult PLS TECHNICAL SHEET before fabricating any flaps or base panels.

PLS - Plasma Lift and Swivel I n s t a l l a Adjusting the Flap Up Position t i o n By adjusting the white screw, at each side :

S of the lift, you can adjust the tilt of the flap. t a CABINET TOP - SIDE VIEW g e

6 By loosening the M6 bolts on each side under the flap, you can adjust the position of the flap in the hole in the cabinet top. Aim for a 3mm gap all round. CABINET TOP - PLAN VIEW CABINET TOP - SIDE VIEW By winding the push rods on each side, you can adjust the height of the flap in order to get it level with the cabinet top. Be sure to lock the nut securely once adjusted. Make sure the black plate doesn't touch the inside of the cabinet. This can cause strain on the motor, leading to failure.

e g a t Adjusting the Flap-Down Position S

: n o i t a l l a t s n I By adjusting the bolts under each flap arm, it is possible to alter the angle the flap opens to. It is very important that when the flap is open, it rests in a vertical position, as shown above. Page 11 of 22 // email info@futureautomation.co.uk tel: +44 (0) 1438 833577 fax: +44 (0) 1438 833565

PLS - Plasma Lift and Swivel I n s t a l l a Checking Screen Mount Suitability t i o With a standard plasma lift, the supplied mounting type will be either a Group A or C n :

framework, or a VESA 200 mount. Check that the type supplied suits the screen that is S t a going to be mounted to the mechanism. g e

8 VESA 200 Mount Remove the screen plate, and fix it to the back of the screen using the appropriate fixings. PLS Group A Remove the uprights, highlighted above and fix them to the back of the screen using the appropriate fixings. If these screen mounts are unsuitable to secure your screen, a custom mount plate can be designed.

e g a t Mounting the Screen to the Lift S

: n o Before mounting any screen, press STOP on the IR remote in order i t a to prevent any motor movements during the mounting procedure. l l a t s n Make sure the mechanism is in the HOME position. I Simply mount the screen on to the mount supplied with your mechanism. The example below shows a Group A framework. The height of the inner framework is adjustable in 30mm increments. There is then the final fine adjustment available from 30mm slots in the side. The inner uprights will slide to allocate different mounting systems. When the screen is in position, the cables can be connected and run down into the cabinet. Pass the cables through the hole you cut in the base for the cables. Once inside the cabinet, pass the cables in to the cable management system. This resembles a black chain running from the beam to the base of the cabinet that the cables can be pushed inside to keep them tidy.

PLS - Plasma Lift and Swivel I n s t a l l a Fix the IR Sensor and Run the Mechanism t i o n The IR sensor can be located anywhere outside of the cabinet. :

1 0 It is very important that once the mechanism is set up, the lift is run up and down a number of times to allow the straps to bed in and stabilise. It may then be necessary to re-adjust the height and / or level of the lift- ing beam, as first discussed in Stage 4 of these instructions.
