The Plasma One-7 supports any plasma
screen up to 200 lbs. and provides an ideal
solution for A/V applications with restricted
ceiling space. The SVS Plasma One Lift only
needs a minimum of 12" of ceiling clearance
to conceal the plasma screen when not in use
(the lift stores the screen horizontally in the
ceiling), pivots 90 degrees down to 4', then
telescopes down to 5'10" or 6'7" below the
ceiling (refers to the distance from the false
ceiling to the bottom of the lift's boom).

1. Preliminary Installation Checks:
•The support structure should hold at least four (4) times the weight of the lift and the plasma screen
combined. The rear supporting structure (threaded rods) should hold (3) times this amount due to the up
thrust (as the lift pivots down from the ceiling, there will be an up force on the rear rods. Reinforcing
the threaded rods approx. 1' up from the lift is recommended to avoid buckling under the up pressure).
Always follow the local building codes.
•Required space, lift support, and necessary cabling (i.e low voltage control lines, audio/video control
and power supplies) should be considered or installed prior to the lift installation.
•Do not install plasma screen on the lift until the lift, hardware and any other accessories have been
properly installed and operational. Failure to maintain proper clearance could result in damage to the
plasma screen.
•As a reminder, clear all persons and obstructions from the lift's path during its operation.
2. Ceiling Space Requirements:
•Vertical Clearance: Once the location of the plasma lift is determined, please verify that there is
sufficient space above the false ceiling to accommodate the lift and the screen and that nothing will
interfere with their operation. The lift only needs a minimum clearance of 12" of height in the ceiling
(when the plasma screen is not tilted). With this arrangement, there will be 7" left of clearance for the
plasma screen and its mounting bracket above the lifting mechanism -see figure 1.
Figure 1
•Horizontal Clearance: When dealing with joist ceilings and because the plasma screen is stored
horizontally in the ceiling, it may be necessary for the installer to cut and re-support the main support
beam or main load bearing beams. If so, please make sure that the ceiling will be appropriately
modified to meet the installation requirements and that the modifications will maintain the structural
integrity. Always follow local and national codes in the modification of any structure. Please keep
in mind that the ceiling opening will vary with the size of the plasma screen . See figure 2.

3. Support Recommendations and Mounting Methods:
The support of the plasma lift can be approached in 2 ways: top mounting or side mounting.
•a. Top Mounting: the Plasma One Lift can be mounted from four 3/8" threaded rods spaced at 12.38"
Wide x 23"Deep (shown in following figure 6). The threaded rods must be supported by a rigid mount
and should not extend more than 12" from the supporting structure to the lift's mounting holes. If the
length of the rods exceeds 12", cross braces must be installed.
If using a threaded rod structure, the rods should be located 11" above the false (lower) ceiling. The top
structure of the lift is then inserted and leveled at 12" above the false ceiling, leaving one inch of usable
thread for the mounting hardware -see figure 3 below.

Figure 4b : Plasma Lift Mounting on Flat Ceiling
Spacers may be required
16"Center beams
•b. Side Mounting: This can be done by
bolting the lift's sides with four 3/8" bolts to
the ceiling joist. The lift is designed to fit
within a standard gap of 16" floor joist.
Spacers should be added to the side of the
lift's frame to avoid expanding it when the
bolts are tightened. The 14" outside
dimension of the lift's top frame should
always be maintained – see figure 5.
Figure 5
4. Lift Installation:
a. Preparation:
a. The lift will be stored in a wood crate in an inverted position. Remove the Philips screws from the top lid.
b. Unbolt the lift from the bottom panel of the crate. To prepare the lift for installation, position the lift in
an upright position.
c. The warranty information and the low voltage controller are located in the white box. Please read these
instructions before beginning the install.
b. Installing the lift in the ceiling (see figure 6):
TOP MOUTING:
a. Raise the lift, insert it into the ceiling and line up
the 4 mounting holes of the top frame to the 3/8"
threaded rods of the supporting structure. Make
sure that there is a top nut on each rod before the
lift is mounted. When using nuts above and below
top frame, always leave top nuts loose to allow
adjustments and until final adjustment is
completed.
b. Secure the lift to upper threaded rods. It is
important to use locking nuts and washers to
ensure a safe installation.
c. Check that the top frame is leveled from front to
back and side to side.
d. Secure the top nuts. It is important not to over
tighten the fasteners before the lift is leveled as it
a. If the lift is side mounted, the vertical placement
of the lift must be accurate. Raise the lift in the
proper position (12" up from the false ceiling).
b. Make sure the lift is leveled (front to back and
side to side) then mark the hole locations into the
side supporting structure. Remove the lift and drill
out the four 3/8" holes (there should be two on each
side of the lift).
c. Once the supporting structure is ready, raise the
lift back up in the ceiling and secure each hole with
a 3/8" fastener.
Important: If the width between the mounting hole
and side support is more than 1/8", spacers should
be inserted between the ceiling structure and the lift
to fill up the gap (see figure 5).
SIDE MOUNTING:
could distort the top frame.

5. Ceiling Closure & Installation:
a. Preliminary notes:
The SVS PCC1 Ceiling Closure Framework kit is supplied as an optional accessory and is attached directly
to the ceiling with a hinge. The hinge must be attached to a solid support structure since there is a forward
pull force on the Ceiling Closure when the lift closes, which causes a strain on the hinge support. The
ceiling closure accessory is shipped in a separate cardboard box.
The ceiling framework is shipped partially assembled and must be completely assembled before installing.
The PCC1 kit includes:
- One (1) Main Support- One (1) Hinge
- Two (2) Cross Frameworks- Four (4) Angle Brackets
- Two (2) End Frameworks- One (1) Hinge Spacer
- Assorted hardware kit- One (1) spare Hardware kit
b. Assembling Closure Framework:
Step 1: The (2) Cross and (2) End Frameworks are supplied with extra length that will be "cut to fit". Two
of the end pieces have been pre-cut at 45 degrees on one end and have angle brackets attached--all four
sides should be completed the same way with angle brackets installed inside the tubing. To determine the
size of the framework, leave approximately 1” of clearance on all sides between the the ceiling hole opening
and the assembled Framework.
Then, cut the rest of the tubing at a 45 degree angle and drill as shown on the Figure 7. Connect the four
pieces using the angle brackets provided, with either 1/8" pop rivets or screws.

The Main Support is pre-drilled for one of the cross framework (the upper one). This distance is set for
all Plasma Display sizes to avoid contact between the plasma display and the up microswitch bracket of
the lift. Do not adjust bracket to extend the plasma display beyond this point. Attach the upper end of
the Support Framework by matching the two (2) countersink holes and installing the (2) 10/32" flathead
screws provided. After installing the upper end of the Support Frame, the lower end can be drilled,
countersunk and fastened to the Main Support using the other (2) 10/32" flathead screws. If the main
support (4”x 3/8”) extends beyond the lower tube of the Framework, it can be cut to reduce the ceiling
opening size.
Step 2: After aligning the framework, the ceiling closure material can be attached by drilling and tapping
into the square tubing for the 8/32 flathead machine screws. At the two ends of the hinge mounting holes,
insert two (2) more 8/32 screws into the Tinerman nuts -see Figures8a and 8c. Removing all 8/32 screws
will provide access to the lift is in a closed position. Any type of material can be used for the closure,
including aluminum plate, plastic sheet, wood, reinforced plaster board, or any other rigid material.
With an aluminum spacer, attach the hinge to the Main Support using (3) 10/32" Allen Head screws and
nylon lock nuts – figure 8b.
SVS, Inc. does not supply the closure panel. The ceiling closure material can be countersunk with the
screws made flush with ceiling material.

Mounting the Hinge and the ceiling closure to the ceiling:
The hinge should be mounted to the
underside of the ceiling, 10” back from the
boom pivot point. See figure 9 for an
elevation view. The proper installed height
of the lift should be 2” from the bottom of
the boom to the inside of the framework and
ceiling closure. This allows the closurelifting arm to be adjusted for proper closure.
The hinge mounting position should be set to
allow a snug fit at the back of the ceiling
closure, but not so tight as to bend or pull the
ceiling closure when closing. Care must be
taken when mounting the hinge onto a solid
support. The lift will exert a forward pull on
the closure when closing since it is not
directly connected to the lift. Use all holes
on the hinge with bolts that cannot be
loosened.
Figure 9
Step 3: After the hinge is attached, connect the two pull-up arms (already attached to the boom) to the
ceiling closure with four (4) 4/20" x 1" flathead bolts and nuts. The Two (2) 3/8" pivoting bolts should
be loose enough to pivot easily when the lift is in motion.
1. The closure and pull up arms are adjusted by loosening the four bolts and nuts on the slotted part of the
pull up arms just enough to slide when the closure contacts with the ceiling. (A lip or beveled edge is
suggested around the opening.)
2. Slowly close the lift to allow the slider to adjust to the proper height when the up closure hits the lip and
stops. The boom will continue to raise until it reaches the the limit switches , which will shut the motor
off.
3. Next, lower the lift until a 1" gap is showing from the ceiling and check the left and right sides to level
the closure. If a correction is needed then readjust the pull-up arm(s) to correct the height/level (by
loosening the bolt to drop or raise one side from the other). Then tighten all four slider bolts and nuts.
4. Check your closure position when the lift is in a closed position The ceiling closure should close tightly
but not bent or distorted.

Electrical Connections should be
made at this time. The Plasma One
Lift is controlled with a low voltage
24v/ac controller called the Key
Switch Wall Plate. It can be easily
connected to external controllers
like Crestron, AMX etc. This
controller is designed to fit in a
single gauge wall plate and features
a terminal strip for an easier
connection to an external controller
(see figure 10).
Figure 10 - SVS Wall Plate
How to use it:
a. To lower the plasma One lift from the ceiling: turn the keyswitch to the "on" position on the wall plate
and press the toggle switch down. When the lift reaches the down show microswitch, the lift will stop.
b. To raise the lift back to a storage position, with the keyswitch on the "ON" position, press the toggle
switch up.
c. To stop and secure the lift: turn the keyswitch to the middle "OFF" position. The lift will not move
even if the toggle switch is pressed upward or downward.
The toggle switch on the control plate needs to be pressed at all time to activate the lift. It is designed as
a safety feature (the lift can be stopped at any time). The key is an extra precaution as well: when
removed, the lift is secured.

If an external controller is to be used (AMX, Crestron etc.), please refer to the following wiring
instructions.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Program a release of relays to stop on up and down.
2. Program a time out after the normal run time, 1 or 2 seconds max.
3. Program an exclusive lockout on up and down so both the up and down cannot be activated at the same
time.
4. Hold relays on to move lift and release relays to stop lift – Always time out or release relay after the
normal use.
IMPORTANT: Never leave the voltage on the up and down. Always release the voltage immediately after
the travel time has been achieved. IF USING ANY OTHER SYSTEMS, PLEASE CONTACT SVS FOR
PROPER WIRING TO AVOID UNSAFE OPERATIONS.
7. Mounting the Plasma Screen:
After checking the lift operation and all clearances, the plasma screen can be installed. The boom of the
Plasma One Lift features a plate used to attach the plasma mounting bracket and must be drilled to
accommodate at least four 3/8" bolts and nuts.

The plasma screen, plasma bracket and SVS mounting plate must be centered in the ceiling hole. This
must be done before the following step -see figure 12. When installing small plasma screens 40"-42".
please note that the mounting plate can only be adjusted downwards. By adjusting the mounting
plate upwards, the top of the plasma screen may interfere with the up microswitch and prevent
the lift from fully closing. For larger plasma screens, please contact SVS, Inc. for installation
details.
Figure 12
Attaching the plasma screen bracket to SVS mounting plate:
1. Attach the screen's mounting bracket (centered right to left) to the lift's plate and center it to the ceiling
hole. Drill four 3/8" holes in the plate and bracket.
2. Secure the mounting bracket to the plate.
Installing the plasma lift onto the bracket:
1. Install the plasma Screen onto the plate. Again, make sure screen is leveled and balanced. There should approx. 1.5" of clearance all the way around the plasma. Failure to maintain proper clearance could
damage the plasma screen when closing.
2. Using the low voltage controller, raise the lift towards a closed position. The toggle switch will allow
you to safely stop at several intervals and observe all clearances. Make sure that there are no
obstructions in the cavity where the plasma screen will be stored.
Lift's Tilt Adjustment:
The SVS Plasma One-7 Lift does not feature any backward tilt. Additional tilt can be achieved by using a
tilting PMT 9, which is the bracket used to attach the plasma screen to the boom of the lift.
SVS PLASMA LIFT INSTALLATIONPAGE 13 OF 16
8. Final Adjustments & Maintenance
Final Adjustments:
a. The plasma screen cabling can attached either to the boom of the lift or on the ceiling closure.
b. Check all clearances, cable locations and any obstructions that could affect the lift's operation.
Maintenance:
a. Inspect Lift occasionally for any looseness of bolts, check cables and clamps. The motor does not need
any attention but if magnetic brake does not hold properly, it must be replaced immediately.
b. Check the centrifugal cam located on the drum stop block. It should be able to move freely and will drop
when it reaches the top of the drum, thus avoiding contact with the arm of the drum lock. If drum rotates
faster than it is set to, the cam will lock the arm after the first rotation and the drumlock microswitch will
turn motor off.
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 drumlock assembly) the
screen must be removed and the lift's boom supported by straps, chain, or cable to prevent it from
lowering unexpectedly while the drive system is being serviced.
