SVS 7 110V - Manual (Page 9)

Important
When attaching the Lift to a flat concrete ceiling, SVS suggest two (2) pieces of P1000T Unistrut (or
equivalent) approx. 10-feet (3.04 m) long, to be installed on the ceiling first. Proper spacing between the two
pieces will be based on the distance between the four (4) mounting holes of the Lift as shown in Figure 4.
You should use at least four (4) 1/2” bolts and anchors evenly spaced on each piece of Unistrut to distribute the
weight of the supporting structure. Attach the two lower pieces of Unistrut to the upper two pieces of Unistrut
using 1/2” threaded rods to the Unistrut, using Unistrut P3010 1/2” channel nuts in the channel, along with a
locking washer and nut below the channel to lock into place.
IMPORTANT
If you are installing an Accessory #2 Plenum Shroud or Accessory #12 Decorative with the Lift, please
read the Accessory Installation Instructions before beginning your installation. The Lift support structure
will need to allow enough space for the Plenum Shroud and/or Decorative Cover mounting hardware
7. LIFT INSTALLATION
a. Preparation:
1. The Lift is shipped in a wooden crate.
2. Do not remove the Lift from the crate until you are ready to install it.
3. The Installation Instructions, Wall Plate Controller with control cable, and projector mounting hardware
are located in a cardboard box inside the crate.
4. Unbolt the Lift from the bottom of the crate to remove the lift from the crate.
b. Installing the Lift in the Ceiling
1. Raise the Lift into the ceiling and line up the four
(4) mounting holes in the Lift's top frame with the
1/2” threaded rods of the supporting structure. Make
sure that there is a top nut and a flat washer on each
threaded rod before the Lift is mounted. See Figure
7. (Plenum Shrouds & Decorative Cover require
additional hardware installed on the threaded rods
before the Lift.)
2. Once the Lift's top frame has been inserted, add a
hexnut to each threaded rod below the Lift frame.
Always leave the top nut loose to allow adjustments
until the Lift is leveled.
3. Level the Lift's top frame side-to-side and front-to-
back using the lower hexnuts on the threaded rods.
4. Once the Lift is leveled, secure the Lift to the
threaded rods by tightening the upper hexnuts. Do
not over tighten the fasteners as it could distort the
Lifts top frame.
5. If the Power Sensor is used, please refer to the Power Sensor Instructions, otherwise, plug the 12-pin
connector of the Wall Plate Controller into the 12-pin socket on the Lift's gray electrical box mounted on
the Lifts top frame. The Wall Plate Controller includes 75-feet of cable and is shipped with the Lift. It is
located in the cardboard box attached to the lid of the Lift's shipping crate.
6. Once the Lift is properly installed in the ceiling and leveled, you can remove the shipping blocks.
