PL3000 PlasmaLift
Installation Instructions
Ensure the ceiling structure is capable of holding at least four times the
combined weight of the lift (300 lbs.) and Plasma Display (74 – 140 lbs). This
is a minimum requirement. Follow any local or state codes that apply to your
specific area.
1.) If you have not already done so, 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 six 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.) Attach the mount to the plasma display with the enclosed hardware.
9.) 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.
10.) Press home to raise the PDP into the lift. Be cautious that your display does
not contact the lift when raising. 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.
11.) 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.

Programming Show Position
Programming can only be done with three-button control. If other methods of triggering the lift are
normally used, first program the lift with the buttons and then configure lift for other trigger method.
1.) Press ‘HOME’ button. Unit raises to the home or stored position.
2.) Press and hold ‘STOP’ button for 10 seconds – unit is now in manual mode.
3.) Press ‘SHOW’ button momentarily – unit will travel down. When unit reaches desired show
position press ‘STOP’ button momentarily. THIS MUST BE DONE IN ONE MOTION, DO NOT
PRESS HOME, SHOW, OR STOP FOR FINE TUNING OF POSITION.
4.) Press and hold ‘STOP’ button for 10 seconds.
5.) Press ‘HOME’ button momentarily – unit will travel to home position.
6.) Lift is now set – press ‘SHOW’ button to verify – unit should travel down to show position. If
you start this procedure and wish to quit after step 2, you must reset power to lift before
normal operation (unplug unit or reset electrical breaker.

Low Voltage Control Lines:
There are three integrated methods of control and two optional methods. The standard controls are
three momentary buttons (contacts) or low-voltage control signal, or single-latching contact. The
optional methods are remote IR or RF control; please contact DDI for information on those options.
Three button control:
‘Home’ button (BLACK) Pin 6
‘Show’ button (RED) Pin 5
‘Stop’ button (GREEN) Pin 1
Common (WHITE) for all buttons Pin 4
Low voltage (5 vdc < V < 24 vdc) control signal:
Jumper Pin 6 to Pin 4, and jumper Pin 5 to Pin 4
Trigger Voltage to Pin 2
Trigger Voltage ground Pin 4.
(applied voltage sends lift up, no voltage sends lift down)
Single latching contact:
Jumper from Pin 6 to Pin 4, and jumper Pin 5 to Pin 4
Contacts between Pin 3 and Pin 2
(contact closed sends lift up, contact open sends lift down)
