IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THROUGH ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR INSTALLATION.
This Lift is designed to be used with a Wall Plate Controller, either automatically or manually controlled
and will function without any special training in the “Show” mode. The Wall Plate Controller features a
key switch which can be placed in the “Show” or “Auto” positions for normal operation. The “Off”
position disables the Lift. The “Service” position must be used only by trained technical personnel when
the Lift is lowered to floor level for service/access.
Note: The “Auto” position on the Wall Plate Controller is for Accessory #4 Power Sensor, Accessory #5
Power Sensor with Screen Control, and Accessory #15 12-Volt Trigger only
WARNING
To prevent personal injury and property damage when servicing any part of the Lift drive system
(electric motor/brake, drive chain/sprockets, steel lift cables, and/or drum lock assembly) the projector
must be removed and the Lift's lower frame supported by straps, chain, or cable to prevent it from
lowering unexpectedly while the drive system is being serviced.
IMPORTANT
Please read all Accessory Installation Instructions before beginning your installation. If an Accessory #2
Plenum Shroud or Accessory #12 Decorative Cover are to be installed with the Lift. Please read the
Accessory Installation Instructions before beginning your installation. The Lift support structure will
need to allow enough space to install the mounting hardware for the Plenum Shroud and/or Decorative
Cover.
TO AVOID CABLE SPILLS
• Do not push the lift bottom frame upwards once the Lift has been installed.
• Make sure that there are no obstructions in the Lift's path. If the bottom frame is lowered onto an
obstruction the cable will slack and spill over the cable drum.
4. PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION CHECKS
• SVS recommends that the Lift support structure holds at least four (4) times the weight of the Lift and
projector combined. Always follow your local building codes.
• Required space for the Lift, Projector, and accessories should be considered prior to installation. Check
for obstructions that may prevent the Lift or accessories from being installed or operated.
• Plan for necessary Lift low voltage control cabling, projector audio/video/control cabling, and power
connections.
• Do not install the projector on the Lift until the Lift, hardware, and any accessories have been properly
installed and are operational.
• This Lift has been adjusted with cables tightly packed on the cable drum and leveled for precise tracking
prior to being shipped from the factory. Do not remove the lift's shipping blocks until instructed to
do so in Section 7. SVS scissor lifts are shipped in a slightly open position to eliminate stress on the
limit switches and to maintain a tight cable pack on the cable drum. If physical height measurements are
taken before the blocks are removed from the Lift, they may not accurately reflect the height of the
closed Lift.
• All weight attached to the Lift must be centered between the lift's cables. The balance point of the
projector should be placed in line with the Lift cables (+/- 1-inch). If this is not possible you may need to
counter weight the Lift to keep the Lift level.
• As a reminder, clear all persons and obstructions from the Lift's path during its operation. Keep fingers

and other objects away from the scissors and other moving parts. Technical personnel should always be
present whenever the Lift is in the Service mode.
5. CONSIDERATION FOR LIFT PLACEMENT
• Before beginning the installation, check the dimensions of the lift against the available space above the
ceiling. Be sure to include the projector lens and any accessories which may add to the overall
dimensions
• Preliminary measurements should also be made to layout the orientation of the projector and lift to the
screen. Consider if the lens is offset from the center of the projector and thus the center of the Lift.
