Installation Instructions
Thanks for purchasing a Display Devices lift product. We’re sure your customer will use this lift for years
to come. Our products are designed to be maintenance free saving you future service time. If you
experience any difficulties, please contact us at 303-412-0399. Thank you for your support.
Ensure the ceiling structure is capable of holding at least four times the combined weight of
the lift (300lbs) and Plasma Display (140lbs). This is a minimum requirement. Follow any
local or state codes that apply to your specific area.
The Plasma Display should NOT have any tilt introduced on the unit. PDP manufacturers do
not approve of using a lifting device with the PDP tilted.
Tools required:
7/16” socket or open end wrench – to attach mount
¾” open end wrench – for ½” mounting hardware
Phillips-head screwdriver – for display mount
Side cutters – to trim cable ties
PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
1. Determine and install structural mounting points above the ceiling. For most installations P3000
Unistrut
®
with all-thread works very well.
2. Raise lift with a Genie ® -type material lift into position. The bottom of the lower metal frame/door
should be level with the bottom of the finished ceiling.
3. Attach 1/2” (M12) mounting hardware (bolt/thread, 2-washers, lock washer and nuts) to 6 of the
12 mounting holes on the top of the frame front & rear.
4. Level the lift frame, front-to-back and side-to-side and tighten hardware. Be sure unit is level for
proper mechanical operation.
5. Attach handheld remote to control box. See Control Interface section below.
6. Attach the power cord to the unit – LED on control box will flash upon power to the unit. There
is no power on/off switch on this lift.
7. Press show to lower the unit.
8. Remove mount from the lift by removing the ¼-20 hardware.
9. Attach the mount to the plasma display with the enclosed hardware.
10. Raise the PDP to the lower panel and attach with ¼-20 bolts/washers to the lowering panel. The
interface mount should be level with the lowering panel. Be sure the display is high enough on
the lift so the closure door will close.
11. Press home to raise the PDP into the lift. Be cautious that your display does not contact the lift
when rising. Be sure the closure door does not contact the PDP. If it does, then raise up the
PDP to the next set of mounting holes. Lower the plasma display.
12. If possible, it is best to add power and signal cables to the plasma display while the lift is in the
closed position. Do not use thick cables that have a large bend radius. Begin your power/signal
cable runs from the display so no splices will have to be made inside the lift. Feed cables into the
scissors beginning at the PDP and work up. Affix the cable with the enclosed cable ties at each
cable tie down along the scissors going over the cables. Leave a loop when at the end of the
scissor.
NOTE: Your cables alternate front-to-back on the scissor assembly.
