2. WARNINGS

§

DO NOT disconnect the telescoping column unit from the microprocessor control unit
while the telescoping column is at its end stops (fully extended or fully retracted). If you

disconnect the telescoping column from the microprocessor unit while the lift is at its end
stops, the lift will lose synchronization. Call SVS for repair. This repair is not covered by

the lift warranty.

§ The SVS Column Lift is a motorized device. Keep all individuals and obstructions clear from

the lift path during operations. Keep fingers and other objects away from all moving parts.
Children should not be allowed to operate the lift without adult supervision.

§ Handling the lift improperly may cause personal injury or damage the lift.

§ The Column Lift is provided with a standard AC power cord. The Column Lift is designed to

use a standard wall socket. A qualified electrician must do any other electrical wiring.
Always follow local building and electrical codes.

3. PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

§ Please inspect the unit for any shipping damage. If the lift has been damaged during transport,

do not proceed with the installation. Please contact SVS.

§ Ensure that you have the require space to install the Column Lift with your screen attached.

§ Ensure that your cabinet will support the weight of the Column lift and screen.

§ Consider how you will install the necessary cabling for the lift and screen (control, audio, video,

and/or AC Power cables).

§ Do not install the screen on the lift until the lift, hardware, and any other accessories have been

properly installed and are operational. Failure to maintain proper clearance could result in
damage to the screen, furniture, and/or lift.

§ The upper limit of the Column Lift has been adjusted at the factory. Adjustment of the upper

limit by other than SVS personal will void the lift warranty.

§ The weight of the screen should be balanced right to left on the lifts telescoping column.

§ Consider how you will access the lift and electrical connections after the lift is installed.

4. DIMENSIONAL INFORMATION

§ The Column Lift is 12.67-inches (32.18 cm) wide by 12-inches (30.48 cm) deep by 49.25-

inches (129.54 cm) high in the lowered/closed position. The raised/open height is 100.25-inches
(254.5 cm).

§ Inside cabinet height will need to be at least 49.25 -inches. And 50 3/16-inches with the
Closure Adapter Kit.

§ Inside cabinet width will be determined by the width of the plasma/LCD screen. Remember
to allow adequate clearance on each side of the screen. If you are using the Closure Adapter
Kit your inside width will need to be at least 24 -inches.

§ Inside cabinet depth must be at least 12-inches to accommodate the Column lift for Plasma
and LCD screens with a combined screen and mount depth of 4-inches or less. If you screen
and mount depth are greater than 4-inches, the inside depth will need to be more than 12-

inches.

§ Inside cabinet depth will need to be at least 15.5 -inches with the Closure Adapter Kit. The
Closure Adapter extends 5 1/8 – inches from the front of the telescoping column, if the
combined depth of your screen and screen mount is more than 5 1/8 – inches, you will
require additional depth.

See Column Dimension in Section 9.

5. LIFT INSTALLATION

Before beginning the installation, check the dimensions of the SVS Column Lift and plasma/LCD
screen with the available space within the cabinet.

The SVS Column Lift can be used with a variety of plasma/LCD screens and installed into various
pieces of furniture; there are no specific instructions for installing the Column lift. Plea se use the
following guidelines.

Uncrate the Lift

§ Remove the Column Lift crate top. (The Column Lift should be transported in a horizontal
position to prevent damage to the lift.)

§ Carefully remove the packing material and lift restrains from around the lift.

§ Carefully remove the lift.

§ Please retain all packing material until installation is complete.

The Column consist of:

§ Telescoping Column (with Microprocessor control unit)

§ Two button control switch (with 1.5-meter cord)

§ Installation Instruction Package

Lift Accessories may be shipping separately.

WARNING

DO NOT disconnect the telescoping column unit from the microprocessor control unit while
the telescoping column is at its end stops (fully extended or fully retracted).

Testing the SVS Column Lift

Step 1. Connect the 1.5 Meter two button control switch to the 7-pin plug to the port labeled "HS"

on the microprocessor control unit attached to the telescoping column.

Step 2. Supply power to the Lift. Connect the power cord from the microprocess or control unit to a

suitable 110 VAC outlet.

Step 3. The Column Lift is now controllable with the two-button control switch. Ensure that the

Column lift will open to it full height and retract to its closed position.

Mounting the lift

§ Mount the column to the inside of your cabinet using the four 3/8-inch mounting holes. See the
Column Dimension drawing in Section 9.

§ The lift should be mounted so that the your closure panel will be even with your furniture top
with the lift in the lowered position.

§ Mount the two-button switch in a convenient location to control the lift and allow the 1.5-meter
two-button switch cord to connect to the microprocessor control unit.

§ Remember to allow access to service the telescoping column and microprocessor control unit.

Closure Suggestions

§ You can attach your closure panel to the top of your plasma/LCD screen, to the top of the
telescoping column, or to the Closure Adapter Kit plate.

§ SVS recommends that for safety that the closure panel be "floating" and not bolted to the
plasma/LCD screen, telescoping column, or Closure Adapter Plate. This will prevent body parts
or objects from being pinched between the closure panel and cabinet when the lift closes. Velcro
style fasteners can be used to secure the closure panel.

§ The closure panel can be sloped to self-center and set into the cabinet top when lowered.

§ The opening width for your screen should be your screen width plus 2-inches. The opening

depth should be your screen depth plus your screen mount depth plus 8-inches. With the
Closure Adapter Kit Accessory the minimum opening should be 26-inches wide by 13 1/2 ­inches deep. The Closure plate extends 5 1/8 - inches in front of the lift column. If your
combined screen and mount depth exceeds 5 1/8 - inches you will require an opening depth
more than 13 1/2 -inches.

6. Electrical Wiring and Lift Control

WARNING

DO NOT disconnect the telescoping column unit from the microprocessor control unit while
the telescoping column is at its end stops (fully extended or fully retracted).

Electrical Wiring

Step 1. Connect the 1.5 Meter two button control switch to the 7-pin plug to the port labeled "HS"

on the microprocessor control unit attached to the telescoping column.

Step 2. Supply power to the Lift. Connect the power cord from the microprocessor control unit to a

suitable 110 VAC outlet.

Step 3. The Column Lift is now controllable with the two-button control switch. Ensure that the

Column lift will open to it full height and retract to its closed position.

See Column Wiring Drawing in Section 9.

Lift Control

The Column Lift is normally controlled using the supplied two-button switch. Pressing the UP
arrow raises the lift and pressing the DOWN arrow lowers the lift.

If the Column lift was ordered with the option to connect it to an external controller. Connect the
white wire to the green wire to raise the lift. Connect the white wire to the black wire to lower the
lift. The maximum wiring length from the microprocessor control unit to the external control relay
or switch cannot exceed 6 foot. See the picture in Section 9 if you want to add the required wires to

the Two Button switch for external control. For wiring suggestions see External Wiring Options 1
and 2 in Section 9.

The TMD Relay Accessory provides the connections to the TMD Two Button switch as well as the
relays and DC power supply for connecting to external controllers or customer supplied switch. If
you TMD was ordered with this accessory, for wiring details see TMD-RY Wiring in Section 9.

For touch screen controllers (AMX/Crestron), use voltage from the touch screen controllers to
energize the relays. The maximum wiring length from the microprocessor control unit to the

external control relay or switch cannot exceed 6 foot. For wiring suggestions

Wiring Options 1 and 2 in Section 9.

7. Mounting Screens

After checking the lift operation and all clearances, the screen can be installed. Raise the lift.
Remove the Screen Mount Adapter Brace from the lift by removing the five bolts holding it to the
telescoping column. See the Column Dimension drawing for the location of the Screen Mount
Brace Adapter. Use the Mount Adapter Brace as a template to drill two or three ¼ - inch holes in
your screen mount aligned with the two or three upper holes in the adapter. The holes in the Mount
Adapter Brace are spaced 4 ½ - inches apart. The holes on your screen mount should be centered
horizontally so that your screen will be balanced from right to left on the lift. Your screen mount
should be placed vertically so that to top of your screen is level with the top of the Column
telescoping column. If this is not possible, mount your screen as low as practical on the telescoping
column. Re -attach the Mount Adapter Brace to the telescoping column using the bottom two bolts.
Use the three top bolts to attach your screen mount to the Mount Adapter Brace and the Column
telescoping column. Follow the screen mount instructions for mounting the screen to the screen
mount. Once the screen is mounted to the Column lift slowly lower the lift carefully. Check all

clearances as the lift and screen are lowered. Ensure that the closure panel fits securely into the
furniture top.

8. Cable Management

Video, Audio, Power Cable can be attached to the inside of the furniture with a service loop behind
the telescoping column. Keep the cables away from moving parts. See the Column Cable

Management Drawing in Section 9.
