Before you Start Check, Check the Following:

- The product is in good condition

- No damage to any parts

Marking Mechanisms Positions

You will receive your mechanisms with the wall plate in the centre of the frame.
This is in the easiest position to mount straight onto the wall.

Installation: Stage 1

Start by marking where the mechanism will go on the wall. Mark centre points through
both the key hole slots, shown in the right detail view. Make sure the mechanism is
level using a spirit level.

These dimensions can differ depending on the moving panel frame work.

25mm [1]

Refer to the Tech Sheets
for further dimensions

PIC SD - Picture Side Mechanism

Mounting the Mechanism

Once marked, put appropriate fixings into the marked points. Offer the mechanism to the
wall and secure in place using appropriate fixing.

Make sure to run the mechanism power cables through the hole in the wall

Cable entry /
exit hole

Installation: Stage 2

Make sure the mechanism is
level using a spirit level.

Final Mounting Fixings

Be sure to use as many fixings through the various slots as possible. Move the frame
left to right to gain access to the top and bottom mounting slots.

Installation: Stage 3

Various fixing slots

Make sure the mechanisms
are fixed securely and safely.

Control Box Setup

- THE CONTROL BOX MUST BE IN AN EASILY ACCESSIBLE LOCATION

- Wire up the control box, refer to page 13 Electrical Connection

- Connect the control box to the mains power supply

- Connect the infrared remote sensor even if you are going to
use switch control

- Cables can be easily extended

PIC SD - Picture Side Mechanism

Testing the Mechanism

This is a good time to run and test the mechanism. Make sure the frame is square and wont
clash into anything in it’s moving path. Make sure the control box is connected correctly and
the cables wont catch on the mechanism.

Controlling the Mechanism

The supplied IR remote performs
the following functions:

OUT: Reveal Screen

IN: Hide Screen

Installation: Stage 4

Safety Note

When the mechanism is
moving if any button is
pressed apart from IN and
OUT it will stop the operation.

Fitting the Moving Panels to the Mechanisms

To make sure the moving panel doesn’t fall
off the mechanism attach the moving panel
brackets as shown.

Installation: Stage 5

To alter the level of the moving
panel adjust the height of these
bolts which the moving panel
brackets sit on.

10mm

When mounting the
moving panel brackets
make sure to allow
10mm clearance from
the back of the panel to
the wall as shown
above.

Optional, Mounting the Screen

In some cases the moving panel will be hiding something else other than a screen such as a
safe or hi-fi which might already be installed otherwise mount the screen into the recess.
A range of screen mounts can be found in our catalogue or website. Models we recommend
