MOTION SYSTEM INSTALLLATION PROCEDURE
PREPARATION
D-BOX allows the use of shielded CAT.5e or CAT.6e cables.
Place a piece of cardboard on the floor to protect the recliner finish.
Before you proceed with the installation, familiarize yourself with the parts and read the installation instructions.
Remove the recliner backrest for ease of Motion System installation. Once the backrest has been removed, protect the
mounts with foam to avoid injuries.

INSTALLING THE LEFT AND RIGHT ACTUATORS
Note: when installing the support brackets on the actuator, Use the middle holes.

2. Install 2 brackets (2) on the actuator with bolt (8) and lock washer (9). Use the middle hole on the bracket.
3. Feed the actuator cable through the hole at the bottom of the recliner and install each actuator in the hole by
securing the brackets with bolt (5) and star washer (10).
INSTALLING THE ACTUATOR PROTECTOR
1. Use the notches to insert the protector plate under the bracket as shown, then turn the plate 90 degrees to
align holes*, and then secure the protector and brackets with bolts. Torque the bolts to 98 lbf-in.
Make sure the protector top plate is sandwiched between the actuator brackets and armrecliner.
*Note: Make sure the fabric seam faces the rear of the recliner.

ROUTING AND SECURING ACTUATOR CABLES
Use tie-wraps (11), clamps (3), and screws (7) to secure cables per the following photos. Make sure there are no loose
cables and interference.
INSTALLING THE REAR PIVOT
Install the pivot assembly at the bottom back of the recliner with 4 bolts (6) and 4 star washers (11).

INSTALLING THE ACM
Install the ACM on the underframe with 4 bolts.
CONNECTING THE ACTUATOR CABLE TO THE ACM
Take good note of the ‘’A’’ and ‘’B’’ positions.

Plug the motor and encoder cables.
NOTE: DO NOT REVERSE POSITIONS.
Install the cable plates and access door.

INSTALLING THE POWER CABLE
Secure the power cable to the ACM and feed it through the hole in the frame.
INSTALLING THE MOTION INTENSITY CONTROLLER
1. Install the controller housing with 2 screws in the opening on top of the right armrest.
Note: do not overtorque the screws.
Note: Install the screws at the right angle and make sure the housing is fully seated on its wooden supports.
2. Secure the controller with the lock screw. Install the screw at the bottom of the slot.

Inorca Milano
15
Note: the screw must be under the locking tab as shown.
3. Feed the motion intensity controller RJ45 cable in the opening.
4. Use a fishing stick to feed the RJ45 cable from the right armrest to the ACM and plug the RJ45 cable in the port
on the ACM (see connecting the controller on page 25).
5. Secure the motion intensity controller (1) by snapping it in its housing.
NOTE: make sure the controller is properly oriented: the text must be oriented for patron readout.
Figure 2 Motion Intensity Controller Operation
CABLE ROUTING
Route the CAT.5e and power cables from the back of the ACM ensuring they do not interfere with the recliner
movement and actuator operation. Route and connect the CAT.5e cable to the ACM. Connect the power cable to an
electrical outlet. The recliner should initialize.
Secure all cables with tie wraps. Ensure there are no loose ends. Because of the recliner movements, and to prevent
adverse vibrations and noise, make sure all cables are properly secured.
Ensure that there is no possibility of pinching, interference, kinking, or run over that may damage the cables.
Connect the recliner control cable and motion intensity cable.

MOTION SYSTEM THEATRE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Familiarize yourself with the following instructions before proceeding with the installation of the motion system.
Before you proceed:
•Make sure the electrical work has been done and all applicable circuit breakers are OFF.
•Check that you have all the parts and attaching hardware required to do the installation.
•Check that you have a drawing package including the floor layout diagram, all dimensions, and number of
recliners to be installed.
•In the projection room, connect the D-Box MFX Management Server before proceeding with the installation of
the recliners. This allows the server to download the latest updates, preventing delays when comes the time to
test the system.
The recliner is heavy. It takes at least 2 persons to handle the recliner.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The equipment consists of a reclining recliner secured on top of a mounting plate. The recliner is equipped with
electrical recliner and motion intensity controllers.
The recliner features 2 electromechanical actuators mounted in the armrests and a pivot mounted at the back of the
seat. The actuators are controlled by a device called the Actuator Control Module (ACM).. The first recliner in a row
receives data –motion codes - from the projection room via the ACM. All the recliners in a row are also connected -
daisy-chained - via the ACM. The last ACM in a row must be terminated. Both the recliner recliner motor and ACM are
powered via a power splitter connected to a standard wall outlet.
