SVS MINI 5 LIFT Installation Manual - page 4
PLEASE
READ
THROUGH
ALL
INSTRUCTIONS
(INCLUDING
ACCESSORY
INSTRUCTIONS) BEFORE PROCEEDING.
This lift is designed to be used with a remote control unit, either automatically or manually
controlled and will function without any special training in the "show position". The lift is
supplied with a key switch and can be left in the "show", "auto" or "off" position for normal
operation. The "service" position must be used only by trained technical personnel when the
lift is lowered to floor level for service/access. Normal safety requirements of handling heavy
equipment must be followed.
1. PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION CHECKS:
•
The support structure should hold at least four (4) times the weight of the lift and projector combined.
Always follow the 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 the projector on the lift until the lift, hardware and any other accessories have been
properly installed and operational.
•
This lift has been adjusted at factory with cables tightly packed on the drum and leveled for precise
tracking, prior to being shipped from SVS Factory. Do not remove the lift's shipping blocks until
instructed to do so (see Section 4-6). 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 drum. If physical height
measurements are taken before the blocks are removed from the lift, they may not accurately reflect
the actual measurement of the lift in a closed position.
•
All weight attached to the lift must be centered between the lift's cables. The balance point of the
projector (also called center of gravity or lens face to base box center) should be placed in line with the
cables (+ /- 1").
•
For ease of installation, lift can be hoisted into ceiling location with blocks and tackle or by using a
ratchet puller.
•
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 a service mode.
