The FSL Flatscreen Lift must be installed on a ¾" thick back panel, such

Installing Unit

as plywood, MDF or other stable material.
Please Note: The top of back panel including lift U channel bracket must be
installed ¼" below inside front and sides of the cabinet.

Caution: Prior to installing, ensure the furniture/cabinetry being used
is large enough and strong enough to hold the FlastScreen Lift and the
display without tipping (see diagram on next page for minimum height
requirements). If attaching to wall, installer is responsible for ensuring
appropriate hardware is used and wall and studs are strong enough to hold
the combined weight of the display and the lift.

➀ Place "U" Channel Mounting Bar (see Fig. 1) down on the top edge of the ¾"
back panel with the four pre-drilled holes facing the inside of the furniture where
the lift will be placed. The "U" Channel Mounting Bar is press-on fi t.
➁ Lower the "U" channel on the back of the FSL Flatscreen Lift down over the
back panel Mounting Bar and center it on the back panel.

➂ Determine where to cut out for the motor in the ¾" thick back panel. (This is
easier if the back ¾" panel has not been installed and attached in the
actual cabinet yet.)

➃ See Fig. 2 for motor cutout location. Cut out the opening to enable motor to
pass through back panel. The added clearance around the cut out opening
allows the motor and controller wiring cable to be fed inside the cabinet for
hook-up. If more space is required for cables, etc., the hole can be enlarged or
additional holes can be made in the back panel.

Controller Programming Instructions

IMPORTANT:
➀ THE LIFT MUST BE WORKING AGAINST A MINIMUM LOAD OF AT
LEAST 15 LBS IN ORDER TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. This can be
achieved by either (1) attaching weight to the mounting brackets, or (2)
manually by applying hand pressure at the top of both slides during
operation.
➁ PLEASE READ THROUGH THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THE CONTROLLER OR THE LIFT.
IT WILL SAVE YOU MUCH TIME AND EFFORT.

Programming the Controller

The controller is pre-programmed and tested at the factory, and should operate
properly immediately upon installation. However, there are several functions
that can be programmed to your specifi c requirements. Please note that when
power is fi rst applied to the controller, a horizontal fl ashing bar may appear in
the display. If the fl ashing bar is in the upper right-hand corner (Fig 1), it means
that the system thinks the lift is in the fully extended or “up” position.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2
If the fl ashing bar is in the lower left-hand corner (Fig. 2), it means that the
system thinks the lift is in the fully closed or “down” position. In either case,
compare the actual position of the lift with the indication on the display before
proceeding with programming. If they are not the same, follow the instructions
for “Extension Programming” before programming other functions.

Entering Setup Mode

Before any of the functions of the controller can be programmed, you must
fi rst enter the Setup mode. To enter the Setup mode, do the following:
➀ Press SETUP and together, and hold for 5 seconds. EP should appear
on the controller display. The controller is now unlocked and you may now
access and program all the controller functions.
➁ By repeatedly pressing SETUP, you may toggle through the functions,
which are abbreviated and will appear in the display in the following order:

and lock access to the Setup mode:

➀ Press SETUP until End appears in the display.
➁ Press to exit and lock the Setup mode.

ELECTRICAL CURRENT/LOAD MONITORING

One of the built-in safety features of the lift is based upon the fact that the
harder the lift motor has to work, the more current it will draw. Should the lift
encounter any unusual resistance during its travel, the current being drawn by
the motor will increase rapidly. If there were no automatic means of cutting power
to the motor, the result could be personal injury or damage to the motor or the
lift. For this reason, the controller is designed to sense when the current being
drawn exceeds a certain limit, and will instantly cut power to the motor, which
immediately stops the lift.

Monitoring the Current

It is possible to monitor the current being drawn by the motor while the lift is
in motion. Simply press SETUP while the lift is going up or down. The actual
current being drawn by the lift will be shown (in amps) in real time on the controller
display.
This feature may also be used to detect gradual changes in current draw that
could give an early indication of an impending internal mechanical failure (such
failures are rare, but they can occur).

Setting the Current Limits

Because the lift is designed to accommodate a wide variety of screens of
various sizes and weights, it is important that the current limits be adjustable to
the values appropriate to the weight of the screen being used. With this lift and
controller, it is possible to set the upper current limit to any value desired within
the normal operating range, which is 4.5 to 6.5 amps, depending on the weight
of the screen. The reading should never exceed 8.0 amps, which is the factory
default setting.
To set the limit for upward travel:

➀ Run the lift up with the planned load.
➁ Monitor the current and note the maximum reading.
➂ Using the “Current Up” feature (see above), set the limit to 1 amp higher

than the maximum reading noted.
To set the limit for downward travel:

➃ Run the lift down with the planned load.
➄ Monitor the current and note the maximum reading.
➅ Using the “Current Down” feature (see above), set the limit to 1 amp higher

than the maximum reading noted.
Example: During upward travel, you note that the maximum reading is 3
amps. Use “Current UP” to set the limit at 4 amps.

byP

Bypass

This is the temporary bypass mode. In this mode, the controller
temporarily ignores all previously programmed instructions. IT ALSO
IGNORES ALL THE PROGRAMMABLE SAFETY FUNCTIONS AND
FEATURES. PLEASE EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN USING THIS FEATURE!
The bypass feature may be used in special situations. For example, a
programmed controller might be removed from a shorter lift model and then
connected to a taller lift model. During operation of the taller lift, the lift may
stop before reaching the bottom of its travel, because the controller is still
programmed for the shorter lift, and assumes that it has already reached the
bottom limit of travel for the shorter lift.

Plugging TV into Controller for Power

TV can be plugged into outlet on Controller to power the TV. The outlet is
fused to protect the TV from power surges. The outlet provides power only when
the lift is fully up, and cuts power as soon as it starts going down.

CC/12VT Port

The Second RJ11 terminal from the left, marked CC/12VT, is a combined
Contact Closure and 12 Volt Trigger port.

Contact Closure uses pins 1,2,3,4 and works as follows:

Pin 4 GND (COM)
Pin 3 Up (closing pin 4 and 3 will make the lift go up)
Pin 2 Down (closing pin 4 and 2 will make the lift go down)
Pin 1 Stop (closing pin 1 and 4 will stop the lift)

Contact Closure can be set up as a two- or three-button system if preferred.
In a two-button system, Pin 1 is not used. The lift will stop if either the up or
down buttons are pressed while the lift is in motion. Contact closure also works
as either a momentary or permanent closure.

12 Volt trigger uses pins 5 and 6 and works as follows:

Pin 5 DC 12V(+)
Pin 6 DC 12V(-)

The presence of voltage on pins 5 and 6 causes the lift to go up.
No voltage on pins 5 and 6 causes the lift to go down.
The range of acceptable DC voltage is 8V to 18V.

The RJ11 terminal on the right, marked EMERG. sensor port, is an extra
sensor port. If desired, this terminal may be used with an additional external safety
switch or sensor. Using an NC switch to close Pins 2 and 4 will disable the lift.
When the contacts are opened, the lift will operate again. Pin 3 in this terminal
may be used to supply 12VDC power to the external sensor if required.

FCC Device: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

Universal Infrared System Programming

The infrared system does not use any fi xed IrDA codes. It is capable of
learning any code you wish to assign to it. Below are instructions on how to
assign codes for up/down movement. The IR receiver only is supplied. Any IR
remote transmitter can be used.

First, unlock access to all controller functions:

Press and hold “Setup” button. While holding “Setup,” press and hold
button for fi ve seconds.

Ird – Assigning the button/code for downward movement.

Press “SETUP” button until “Ird” shows up on the display.
Press
gramming.
Aim your infrared remote control at the infrared eye, which should be con­nected to the infrared port on the bottom of your controller.
Press the remote control button you would like to designate for downward
movement. You will hear a double beep fi rst and then a triple beep once the
code is recognized and the task is fi nished.

Iru – Assigning the button/code for upward movement.

Press “SETUP” button until “Iru” shows up on the display.
Press

Manual Override Instructions

(Only available on FSL-F-42 and FSL-F-65)

If you lose power to the unit, it can be raised or lowered using the
manual override. To access the manual override, remove the metal panel
from the top of the lift. The unit can be raised or lowered by using an M8
socket to fi t the head of the threaded shaft to drive the lift up and down
with the manual override. You can use a regular ratchet or an electric
drill with M8 socket attached.

Manual Override (M8 socket required)

IrDA Interfacing Instructions

The fi rst RJ14 terminal from the left, marked as IrDA port, is provided to
plug in the infrared eye. IrDA eye shipped with our controller cannot be
coupled with any connecting block and used with fl ushers, as it generates TTL
(Digital) signal. The IrDA eye is connected to pins 3; 4; 5 on IrDA RJ11 termi­nal. Only the eye provided with the controller can be connected to pins 3; 4; 5.
If you need to use alternative IrDA (Analog) eye, capable of working with
fl ushers, then you must connect it to the following pins on the same IrDA RJ11
terminal:
Pin 1: fl usher/IrD signal (+)
Pin 6: fl usher/IrD signal (-)

Troubleshooting Info:

A horizontal fl ashing bar in the lower left corner of the display tells you that the system
assumes that it is in the lowest/closed position.
If you fi nd the bar fl ashing in the lower left corner and the lift is not in the lowest/closed
position, use “BYP” function to bring the lift all the way down.
(You may fi nd yourself in this situation when “Up” and “Down” buttons on the controller are
used without previously connecting controller to the lift)

A Horizontal fl ashing bar in the upper right corner of the display shows you that the lift
has reached its maximum (previously programmed) extension height.
Use “EP” function to set new desired height.
