3. Lift installation
3.1. Installation precautions
- Installation work should be carried out by a qualified technician or at least in accordance with the instructions described below.
- Fixed installation of the lift should be done with use of the screws and anchors suitable for the local ceiling’s construction
materials.
- Check carefully after lift installation and before first operation nor the lift elements, nor the installed projector will not
collide with the recessed ceiling hole during lift operation.
3.2 Lift installation at the ceiling
- Choose installation method projector will be fixed to the lift’s shelf. See picture 1 for possible projector installation methods.
A) Installation method recommended for projectors with height less than 10cm and width less than 41cm.
Profiles supporting ceiling tile are separated from the shelf profiles with nut and washer only.
B) Installation method recommended for projectors with width larger than 41cm and depth less than 42cm.
Requires lift shelf to be assembled upside-down. Profiles supporting ceiling tile are fixed with threaded rods.
C) Installation method recommended when distance between construction ceiling and false ceiling is relatively
long. It allows to lower projector bottom position without need to lower surface lift is fixed to. Requires lift shelf
to be assembled upside-down. Profiles supporting ceiling tile are fixed with threaded rods to the lift shelf
profiles.
D) Installation method recommended for projectors with width less than 41cm. Profiles supporting ceiling tile are
fixed with threaded rods to the lift shelf profiles.
- Define location of the hole in the recessed ceiling lift will be installed at. Projector installed at the lift will be ejected through during projection. Dimensions of the hole must follow the dimensions of the installed projector and/or the dimensions of the flap mechanism (in case it will be used). Distance between the screen and the hole is determined by the planned projection distance (see picture 2).
- Fix projector to the lift’s shelf temporary (use screws and washers supplied with the lift).
- Survey distance between the lens optical axis and the left lift edge (see picture 3).

- Determine final location of the lift hole at the false ceiling. Shifting of the false ceiling hole position to the left or right side
would be required depending on the design of installed projector. The lift hole localization at the false ceiling must
provide, that the installed projector lens optical axis will be perpendicular to the screen surface and will cross the screen
at the middle of screen width. (see picture 4).

Pic.4 Mapping out location of the lift - phase 2
- Cut off the hole in the false ceiling (see picture 5). Cutting edges should be straight and accurate, cut tile will be used
to mask lift's shaft hole, when the lift will be at upper position.
- Check ceiling surface located just over the cut hole for bumps and level, your lift will be fixed there. Eliminate
recognized problems when possible, other problems and improper ceiling leveling would be fixed during lift installation by
use of spacers (not included at lift's set).
- Appoint location of holes for the anchors fixing lift mechanism to the real ceiling. Use installation template supplied with
the lift (see picture 6) .
- Drill holes in the ceiling at appointed locations, place anchors at drilled holes (see picture 7)
- Fix temporary lift with anchor screws (see picture 8).
- Check if lift frame sides are parallel with false ceiling hole edges, it is required for proper lift operation (see picture 9).
Release screws fixing lift's ceiling brackets to the frame to fine tune lift position. Once lift will be positioned correctly tight
bracket fixing screws and lift's anchor screws .
- Check lift leveling, use lift's frame as survey base. Fine tune lift levelling if needed by placing objects like washers
between lift frame and ceiling surface.
!!! CAUTION !!! Recommended diameter of lift fixing anchor’s screws Ø 8 mm.

Pic.10 Installation of profiles supporting tile masking lift shaft
- Fix profiles supporting ceiling tile to the lift’s shelf profiles with threaded rods (see picture 10). Modify length of threaded
steel rods so, the ceiling tile fixed to the lift’s shelf will match false ceiling surface when lift will stop automatically at top
position.
- Fix projector to lift’s shelf. Set of screws and washers supplied with the lift allows to fix nearly each projector.
- Lead projector’s power and signal cables inside plastic chain guide located at back side of the lift. Place cables inside the
chain track by pushing them inside with thumb through dedicated cuts located on top of the track chains.
In case there is lightweight segmented false ceiling installed at your location we recommend to install Simlift over single original false ceiling tile. This way no modification of existing false ceiling construction will be required, projection screen installation place should be chosen so screen, lift and projector will be installed at correct configuration. We understand correct configuration of 3 devices as configuration which will guarantee best quality of picture reproduction to be reached with those devices
!!! ATTENTION !!!
Your projector will operate (cool down) and will be stored at space between ceiling and false ceiling.
Keep this space clean and tidy (remove dust and other pollutions generated during lift installation) to secure reliable
and fail-safe projector operation.

3.4 Electric installation.
Caution: Electric installation of the lift should be performed by an authorized electrician.
- Lead out the power cables to the place of installation of the wall switch and between wall switch and lift.
- Lift power line should be fused with 1A fuse.
- Switch off the lift power line during installation work
- Manual wall steering switch should be installed at the place meeting the following conditions:
a) installation150-180 cm above the floor level,
b) the lift should be visible by the wall switch operator during the lift operation,
c) wall switch operator cannot stay in reach of any of the lift’s moving parts during the lift operation .
d) the wall switch must be visible from the each part of the room irrespective of the lift position.

3.5. Lift programming.
Pic.10 Lift Programming
Avoid lift programming without important reason. The lift upper and bottom stop points were set at the factory to cover the maximum lift operating range. Lift must be re-programmed if you intend to lower the top stop point or move up the bottom stop point.
Programming of the lift Bottom Automatic Stop Position.
Programming knob located closer to the lift’s rear side (red knob) allows programming of the lift’s Bottom Automatic
Stop Position (see picture 10). Knob operation is allowed when lift is not at the bottom position. Applied changes will become visible with next lift “‚ ” operation.
„+” – turning the knob this direction to lower the lift bottom stop position (the lift is programmed at the factory at the
lowest possible bottom stop position).
„–” - turning the knob this direction to move up lift’s bottom position.
Programming of the lift Top Automatic Stop Position.
Programming knob located closer to lift’s front side (white knob) allows programming of the lift Top Automatic Stop
Position(see picture 10). Knob operation is allowed when lift is not at the top position. Applied changes will become
“-“ – turn the knob this direction to lower the lift top stop position.
“+” – turn the knob this direction to move up lift’s top position (the lift is programmed at the factory at the
highest possible top stop position).
Avoid to overstress the lift steel rope during when programming the lift upper stop position, it could damage the lift .
Avoid to leave the lift steel rope slack after programming of the lift bottom stop position, if so the rope would tangle and the lift will be blocked.
