SVS PLASMA ONE 7 - Manual (Page 4)

PLEASE READ THROUGH ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PRO-
CEEDING.
1. Preliminary Installation Checks:
• The support structure should hold at least four (4) times the weight of the lift and the plasma screen
combined. The rear supporting structure (threaded rods) should hold (3) times this amount due to the up
thrust (as the lift pivots down from the ceiling, there will be an up force on the rear rods. Reinforcing
the threaded rods approx. 1' up from the lift is recommended to avoid buckling under the up pressure).
Always follow the local building codes.
• Required space, lift support, and necessary cabling (i.e low voltage control lines, audio/video control
and power supplies) should be considered or installed prior to the lift installation.
• Do not install plasma screen on the lift until the lift, hardware and any other accessories have been
properly installed and operational. Failure to maintain proper clearance could result in damage to the
plasma screen.
• As a reminder, clear all persons and obstructions from the lift's path during its operation.
2. Ceiling Space Requirements:
• Vertical Clearance: Once the location of the plasma lift is determined, please verify that there is
sufficient space above the false ceiling to accommodate the lift and the screen and that nothing will
interfere with their operation. The lift only needs a minimum clearance of 12" of height in the ceiling
(when the plasma screen is not tilted). With this arrangement, there will be 7" left of clearance for the
plasma screen and its mounting bracket above the lifting mechanism -see figure 1.
Figure 1
•
H orizontal Clearance: When dealing with joist ceilings and because the plasma screen is stored
horizontally in the ceiling, it may be necessary for the installer to cut and re-support the main support
beam or main load bearing beams. If so, please make sure that the ceiling will be appropriately
modified to meet the installation requirements and that the modifications will maintain the structural
integrity. Always follow local and national codes in the modification of any structure. Please keep
in mind that the ceiling opening will vary with the size of the plasma screen . See figure 2.
