SVS PLASMA TWO - Manual (Page 8)

Important note for concrete ceiling installations: when attaching the lift to a flat ceiling, SVS suggests
two (2) pieces of #P1000T Unistrut (approx. 10' long -3.04 m), to be installed on the ceiling first. Proper
spacing between the 2 pieces will be based on the distance between the top four (4) mounting holes of the
lift (as shown in Figure 1) .
You should use at least four (4) ½" bolts and anchors evenly spaced out on each piece of Unistrut to
distribute the weight of the supporting structure. Attach ½" threaded rods to the Unistrut, using Unistrut
#P3010- ½" channel nuts in the channel, along with a locking washer and nut below channel to lock into
place.
IMPORTANT: IF A #2 PLENUM SHROUD IS TO BE INSTALLED WITH THE PLASMA TWO LIFT.
PLEASE READ THEIR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION BEFORE PROCEEDING. THE
SUPPORTING STRUCTURE SHOULD ALSO ALLOW ENOUGH SPACE TO INSTALL THE
MOUNTING HARDWARE OF THE PLENUM SHROUD.
4. LIFT INSTALLATION:
a. Preparation:
1. The lift is shipped in a wood crate. Remove the Philips screws from the top lid.
2. Unbolt the lift from the bottom panel of the crate to remove the lift out of the crate.
3. The warranty information and the low voltage controller are located in the white box.
b. Installing the lift in the ceiling:
1. Raise the lift, insert it into the ceiling and
line up the four (4) mounting holes of the
top frame to the .5" threaded rods of the
supporting structure. Make sure that there is
a ½" Hexnut nut and a lock washer before
the lift is mounted -see figure 6. Once the
lift's top frame has been inserted, add an
hexnut and a lock washer to each threaded
rod. Always leave top nut loose to allow
adjustments until the lift is leveled.
2. Secure the lift to the threaded rods.
3. Check that the top frame of the lift is
leveled front-to-back and side-to-side
.
Figure 6.
4. Secure the top nuts. Do not over tighten the fasteners before the lift is leveled as it could distort the top
frame.
5. Remove the one (1) shipping Blocks from the lift. Never remove the block until the lift is properly
installed in the ceiling.
6. Make sure that cables are out of the way of operation.
7. Before lowering the lift, you should have some weight attached to the bottom of the lift in order to
keep the cables tight until the plasma screen is mounted. Both cables are placed on the drum so that they
start unwinding from the inside to the outside of the drum. They are vertical to the eye bolts in the closed
position and slightly angled toward the outside of the drum to avoid friction/rubbing with the previous
cable loop.
To avoid cable spill:
- Do not push the bottom frame upward once the lift has been installed.
- Make sure that there is no obstructions in the lift's path. If the bottom frame lowers onto a chair,
table or any other object, this will cause the cables to slack and spill over the drum.
