Important Installation Notes
Before starting…
Read all instructions before installation.
CAUTION!
The lift is heavy! Take proper safety precautions and get adequate help
when raising the lift.
Leave metal shipping brackets in place to protect you and the lift from damage until
fully and securely mounted.
Ensure the electrical outlet is readily accessible and complies with the lift and projector
specifications for voltages and amperages.
Check above the ceiling for obstructions (i.e. water pipes, wires, cables, duct work,
extreme temperature variations, etc.) before beginning installation.
Ensure the ceiling structure is capable of holding at least four times
weight of the lift and projector. This is a minimum requirement. Follow any local or
state codes that apply to your specific area.
Organize your mounting hardware and have the necessary tools on-hand before
installation.
Attach the projector, ceiling closure system, or other items to the lift only after the lift
has been properly installed and tested.
the combined
CAUTION:
Anytime you are installing or performing maintenance on the
lift, disconnect power at the receptacle or breaker/fuse panel, program the
lift to MANUAL MODE, or activate the NO MOVEMENT switch on the side of
the control box to prevent inadvertent movement of the lift.

Lift Placement and Location
Verify the projector’s lens offset from the center of the projector and center the lens
onto the center of the projection screen.
If your lens is offset from the center of the projector, the lift should have the same
opposing offset to center.
Ensure that the centerline of the lens remains aligned with the centerline of the screen.
If your projector does not have a zoom lens, the focal length distance and image size
from screen to lift is critical. See your specific projector manual for detail.
Verify where the front of the projector’s lens is in relationship to the lift, and
compensate accordingly.
INSTALLATION
Mounting hardware is not provided. Be sure to have all your mounting hardware and
tools readily accessible before installation. Consult your local building codes for proper
structural attachment.
Here are the tools you will need:

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
TOP-MOUNTING
Top mounting is typically used when installing the lift into a false ceiling (grid tile) or an
exposed unfinished ceiling.
We recommend you install mounting hardware into a structural channel.
Example – Top Mounting
Structural channel provides flexibility for adjusting the lift front-to-rear and side-to-side.
• All hardware should be at least in 3/8” (M10) diameter.
• You should use angled stabilizers if threaded rods extend 2’ (60 cm) or more
between structural channel and the lift.
• You should also leave the threaded rods slightly loose to ease in alignment and
leveling after installing the lift.
• You need to make sure all hardware is securely tightened at the end of your
installation.

SIDE-MOUNTING
Side-mounting is typically used when installing the IBL-1522 lift between 16” on-center
floor joists.
NOTE for Retrofit installations with the IBL-1522:
Cut hole opening – 21”l x 14.5”w.
1.) Determine the top height of lift/enclosure and mark the top position on the
joists. Mark the front and rear position of the lift on the joists – both the left and
right sides.
2.) For installations which need the plenum enclosure, attach the plenum enclosure
to the 8 studs on the lift’s upper frame. Add flat washer, split lock washer and
7/16” nuts – tighten. Retrofit installations in sheetrock ceilings often require the
plenum enclosure to be removed.
3.) Determine the best location for power, control and signal cables to enter the lift
enclosure. Use a knockout tool or drill holes in the enclosure for cables. We
recommend using flex conduit to the enclosure.
