Mechanism Quick-start Guide
Quick-start Guide
Some Future Automation mechanisms may ship with the control box disconnected to prevent damage during
transit. In order to operate the mechanism, the control box will need to reconnected, then have mains power
applied along with the desired control method.
Reconnecting The Control Box
To reconnect the mechanism control box, follow the below steps:
1. Make sure the power is disconnected from the control box.
2. Remove the retaining screw and washer from the end of the control box to allow removal of the control box
lid. (Image 1 Below).
3. Slide o the control box lid to reveal the control board inside.
4. Locate the green connector on the end of the loom leading from the lift mechanism. This plug will have a
small tag attached stating the correct connecting socket on the control board (e.g. “AC1”, “DC2”...) (Image 2
Below).
5. Plug the green connector into the corresponding socket on the control board. This plug is handed and will
only connect correctly one way. Do NOT force the connector into the socket, this can cause serious damage
to the control board and mechanism.
6. Route the wiring loom out of the end of the control box by inserting the black plastic inserts into the slots
provided. (Image 3 Below).
7. Slide the control box cover back over the control board and replace the xing screw and washer.
Image 1.
Image 2.
Image 3.
Image 4.
IMPORTANT
For the mechanism to operate, the green three way safety connector with the loop of wire
attached, must also be plugged into the end of the control box. (Image 4 above). If this
connector is not plugged in, a bright red LED will be visible inside control board and the Input
Con rmation Input LED will be permanently illuminated.

1 - Mechanism Positioning
Before mounting the EAD3 it is important to ensure there are no obstructions through the full travel of
the mechanism.
1. With the mechanism laid at, oer the screen onto the Screen Uprights and measure from the bottom of
the screen to the bottom of the wall plate to determine the mechanisms position on the wall.
(Note: the screen should be mounted as high up on the mechanism as possible to reduce the amount of
wall plate that remains visible behind the screen in the DOWN position.)
2. The screen must start a minimum of 50mm [2.0"] above any objects (such as a mantelpiece) that protrude
305mm [12.0"] or less from the wall - for deeper obstructions the screen must start higher.
3. Refer to page 2 of the EAD3 Technical Sheet to determine the nal wall xing hole positions.

2 - Fixing To The Wall
The mechanism must be securely xed to a solid, load bearing surface using the mounting holes provided
on the mechanism's wall plate.
1. Unhook the Screen Uprights (Not Shown Below) from the Main Uprights (Not Shown Below),then remove
the Top Cover (1.2) and Bottom Cover (1.3) by removing the 8 x M5 xings shown below, to access the rear
xing holes.
2. Fix the mechanism to the wall using suitable xings (Not Provided) in as many mounting holes as possible.
Note: The highlighted xing holes shown below MUST be used in any installation.
3. The mechanism may need to be powered out to a mid position to access some central xing holes (See
Mechanism Control section of the installation instructions) - Note: this should only be done after all
other xings are in place.

3 - Screen Mounting
1. Lay your screen face down on a padded surface and place the Screen Uprights (1.4 - removed in Step 2)onto
your screens four VESA mount holes. Secure using the bolts and washers provided in the Fixings Pack as
shown below. If your screen has recessed mount holes or if you need to space the uprights o for clearance,
use the spacers provided in the Fixings Pack. The standard mount conguration is VESA400 compatible, to
achieve VESA600 or wider, you will need to swap the left and right Mount Uprights (1.4) over.
2. On the back of each Mount Upright (1.4) will be three Mount Bobbins. Once the uprights are attached to
the back of the screen, measure the horizontal distance between the these Bobbins and adjust the Main
Uprights (1.8 - still attached to the EAD3) so the keyholes xings on these are the same horizontal distance
apart as the Mount bobbins.
3. Lift and hook the Screen onto the EAD3. The Mount Bobbins should locate into the keyholes on the Main
Uprights (1.8) to secure the screen to the bracket.

4 - Screen Position Adjustment
1. Once the screen has been attached to the EAD3, it can be adjustment horizontally by sliding the screen and
Uprights left or right along the stainless steel Mount Bars shown below. The s lots in the Screen Uprights
(1.4) allow for vertical position adjustment by loosening screen xings and raising or lowering screen to the
desired position.
2. Tighten of the lower 2 xings on the rear of Main Uprights (1.8) will lock o horizontal adjustments.
3. The top xings on the rear of the Main Uprights (1.8) can be adjusted in or out to alter the tilt angle of the
screen (up to ±5º).

5 - Setting Mechanism Limits
The mechanism's IN position is factory set at 152mm [6"]. This is the mechanism furthest most IN
position and can only be adjusted outwards. Adjustment of the IN Switch buers is very sensitive, so
should always be adjusted in small increments for safety reasons. All IN position adjustments must be
carried out using the rubber buer ONLY and NOT the IN Switch itself.
To adjust the IN position:
1. Wind the two rubber buer stops mounted on the wall plate IN as far as possible.
2. Wind the rubber In Switch Buer in or out in small increments to adjust where the contacts hits the In
Switch.
3. Once the desired IN position has been achieved, the two rubber buer stops on the wall plate must then be
wound out to contact the upper arm rest when the bracket is in the IN position.
To adjust the OUT position:
1. Loosen the 2 x M5 Nuts on the left of the mechanism shown below to release the OUT Limit switch.
2. Slide the OUT Limit Switch UP to RAISE the OUT position or DOWN to LOWER the OUT position.
3. Once the desired OUT position has been achieved, re-tighten the 2 x M5 Nuts loosened in step 1.

6 - Cable Management
All Cables must be correctly managed and secured as shown below to prevent any risk of snagging or
trapping during the mechanisms normal travel.
1. The mechanism's control box will be supplied with a 2.5m [8 ' 2"] ying lead. This control box will need to
be placed in an easily accessible location for future maintenance.
2. Both screen cables and mechanism cables should ideally enter/exit the mechanism through the cable cut
cut-out in the center of the Wall Plate (1.1).
3. After entering from the Cable Cut out in the Wall Plate (1.1), cables should be routed along the underside
of the Upper Arms (following the dotted line below) and xed using cable ties secured to the tie blocks
supplied.

Mechanism Control
1 - General
This mechanism has multiple standard control methods, each of which requires a di erent input method to the
control box. For ease, the input sockets on the control board are labelled below.
(Control box size and style may vary to image shown)
Control Box Inputs
RS232 (RJ11/RJ25)
Contact Closure (RJ45)
Input Con rmation LED
IR Input Jack (3.5mm)Emergency Stop Connector
Mains Voltage Input
Mechanism Emergency Stop Connector
This mechanism features an Emergency Stop Connector, which MUST be plugged into the control box in the
connector labelled above for the mechanism to operate. If this connector is not plugged in, the Input Con rmation
LED will be permanently lit. As per the red plastic tag attached to the Emergency Stop Connector (and shown
below), the small loop of wire in this connector is designed to be replaced by a third party safety mechanism.
Replacing Mechanism Batteries
The standard Future Automation Infrared (IR) remote control required x2 AAA batteries to operate. These are
provided with the mechanism in the Accessories Pack. These batteries can be replaced as the per the image
below.

Mechanism Control
2 - Infrared (IR) Operation
This Mechanism can be controlled via the supplied 14 button Infrared (IR) Remote Control, pair with the supplied
Infrared (IR) lead and sensor.
The mechanism's functions can be controlled by plugging the Infrared (IR) lead and sensor into the 3.5mm IR
Input Jack shown on the General Mechanism Control page.
Con rmation of Infrared (IR) input will be shown by a single ash of the large green LED located on the end of
the control box.
As Infrared (IR) control works over line of site, the Infrared (IR) sensor must be directly viewable from what ever
location the remote control is being used from.
Infrared (IR) Remote Control Button Layout
IN - Brings the mechanism into
the cabinet.
OUT - Brings the mechanism
out of the cabinet, without
swivelling.
STOP - Will stop the operation of
the mechanism at ANY position.
IMPORTANT
Only buttons indicated above are functional with the product. Any other button press will STOP the
mechanism.
