1. Introduction
This equipment meets the requirements of EEC
operating guidelines 89/392/EEC, 91/368EWG
and EEC low-voltage guideline 72/23/EEC. The
ScreenLifter is a handling system for heavy and large
displays (plasma,TFT etc.) in order to reduce human
effort and working hours during transport, assembly
and adjustment to a minimum. The ScreenLifter is
not a system for continuous use, e.g., for changing
the elevator position of displays. It is not designed
for show effects such as choreographic changing of
display positions, since system overload is guaranteed.
Our goal was to combine a transport system for
heavy displays and a system for elevation adjustment,
in order to ensure economic user handling of displays.
The ScreenLifter has been conceived for maneuvering
PanasonicTH-103PF9EK Plasma Displays. Equipment
for other displays and/or conversion kits for
products of other manufacturers are available upon
request with MediaScreen GmbH and its respective
distributors. These operating instructions refer to
the operation of ScreenLifters in connection with
PanasonicTH-103PF9EK Plasma Displays only. You
will be surprised how simple and fast the ScreenLifter
handles this large and heavy type of display
particularly when contained in the MediaScreen
ScreenLifter -Case. Once the display is installed, the
ScreenLifter takes care of loading and unloading, lifting,
lowering and rotation of the display.

2. Safety Precautions
Read the operating instructions and all safety precautions carefully before rst set-up. •
Keep the operating instructions for later reference. •
Before operating the system, make sure that the operating voltage of the system corresponds•
with the local power supply. (Check type label!)
Opening or exchange of electrical components may only be carried out by qualied technical •
personnel or the manufacturer.
In case of malfunctions like, e.g., smoke, smell or unusual noises, switch off all system •
components and disconnect all power connections.
The maximum operating duration of the lifting column engines as stated on the type label must•
never be exceeded.
Any overall changes, control changes, changes of control elements or the position switches etc. •
are prohibited.
The ScreenLifter may not be operated in a potentially explosive atmosphere.•
Do not set up to the ScreenLifter outdoors. The ScreenLifter may be operated in dry rooms •
only.
ScreenLifter and display combined weigh approx. 600 kg. When setting up the device, consider •
the load-carrying capacity and condition of the surface in particular of stages and other mobile
constructions.
Place the ScreenLifter only on even and horizontal surfaces, since it could otherwise•
overbalance when lifting or lowering the heavy display.
Also make sure that no hard objects such as screws, waste or similar objects lie on the surface•
when setting up the display, since this could impair stability.
These safety precautions must be observed minutely! If the system is inappropriately
operated it may cause material damage which could result in possible injury!

3
Secure the ScreenLifter through a screw connection with the surface. Extendable perforated •
tiles are located at each corner of the cap.

4
The ScreenLifter is designed for displays with a dead weight of 220 kg and dimensions of l x w•
x h 245 x 145 x 14 cm.
Each display can be connected to the ScreenLifter with the respective adaption frame only. Do •
not install a display, if you do not possess a corresponding certied adaption frame.
Before you connect the display to the ScreenLifter adaption frame, remove the ScreenLifter•
from its transportation packaging or from the screen elevator case if necessary.
You should never open all catches of both case hoods at the same time. When removing one •
hood the other one could fall off and damage people or objects. Therefore, rst open the
catches of only one hood and take it off the transport case before opening the catches of the
other hood.

5
After the hoods have been removed, they must be secured against falling, or at least positioned•
against a rm support, since they do not have sufcient stability.
Check all bolt connections prior to operation.•
The ears on the adaption frame only simplify rotation of the display. They may not be used as •
eyes or attachment points to secure or support the display, nor to lift the ScreenLifter.
If you detect parts bent or otherwise damaged, the ScreenLifter must not be operated any•
longer.
Never try to carry out repairs of the ScreenLifter. Repairs may only be carried out by the •
manufacturer.
When lifting, lowering or rotating the display, make sure that no objects or body parts get •
jammed.
The display may only be rotated slowly into the direction intended.•
The display may not be rotated if it is in highest or lowest position, since it could be damaged•
in these positions.
The minimum distance when rotating between the lower edge of the display and the•
ScreenLifter cap depends on the size of the display. Please see chapter 4.4 for exact data.

4. Operation of the ScreenLifter
4.1 Control Functions and Characteristics
The ScreenLifter has a built-in synchronous control to lift and lower the two runners in the lifting columns.
When lifting and lowering the load, the operation duration of the control, as specied on the type
label (1min. ON, 9 min. OFF) may not be exceeded. When overheating, the equipment switches OFF
automatically and the display shows the message “HOT”. In this case, wait until the control has cooled
down and the message “HOT” has ceased. Wait at least 15 minutes in any case.
The ScreenLifter is operated with the control panel in the cap of the ScreenLifter (POS15) or with an
additional cable remote control. (Optional accessory).
The basic functions are lifting and lowering the cap for unloading and loading (Unload/load) and lifting and
lowering the display (“Lift Screen“). The three-digit display of the control panel approximately shows the
height of the lower display edge in cm in relation to the surface level. The illustration below shows the
control panel with the keys “LIFT“, “O“, “DOWN“, “UP“ and the height and error message display.

4.2 Loading and Unloading the ScreenLifter
4.2.1 Lifting ScreenLifter Out of Its Case
If you purchased the ScreenLifter together with its case you need to unload the ScreenLifter from the
transportation case rst. Since the lifting columns fulll a dual function, you do not need anything except
a cold equipment cable and a power socket. In as-delivered condition the two transportation pins (POS 8),
which are necessary for lifting and lowering the cap are installed.
First remove the hood parts and put the roll board in the position where you want the•
ScreenLifter to be located later.
Caution!• Before you connect the ScreenLifter to the power supply, check whether the
operating voltage of the control (type label) corresponds with the local power supply.
Connect the ScreenLifter to the power supply over the main connection (POS 11) in the cap •
and put the switch (POS12) in the “ON“ position.
To lift the cap off the roll board, press and hold the LIFT control key until the stored nal •
position is reached and the value 24 (±1) is displayed.
Pull the roll board out from under the cap.•
To position the cap on the surface, press and hold the key O on the control until the stored•
position is reached and the ScreenLifter stands on the ground. The value 45(±1) is displayed..
Caution! • When lowering the cap to the ground there is immediate danger of squeezing. Never
position ngers or other body parts between the cap and the ground.
Caution!• Remove the transportation pins after unloading the cap before you install or lift the
display.
Screw on caps (replace with removed transportation pins) •

4.2.2 Lifting ScreenLifter Into Its Case
If you want to lift the ScreenLifter onto the roll board, you must lower the display/frame to the O-position.
Install the transportation pins only after you have reached the 45(±1) position. •
Press and hold the key O on the control until the runners stop at the stored position. The •
display shows 45(±1).
Remove the caps beside the lifting columns and screw both transportation pins into the tapped•
hole, as specied below, with the threads to a complete stop. The narrow part of the cylinder,
underneath the spring, has to face the fork opening.
Press and hold the LIFT control key until the runners stop at their nal position. The display •
shows 24 (±1).
Now roll the roll board with the recesses at the rear end under the cap. Make sure that the •
board stands straight under the cap to ensure that the case can be closed without problem at
a later time.
To set down the cap on the roll board, press and hold the key O again, until the control•
switches off automatically. The display shows 39 (±2).
After you stored the accessories in the accessory box and locked the case with the hood, the ScreenLifter
is ready for transport.

4.3 Lifting and Lowering of the Display
Check whether the transportation pins were removed. •
Ensure adequate distance to other objects, ceilings, people etc. during the operation of the •
ScreenLifter .
Note the allowable duration of operation of the lifting mechanism (max. 1 min.) In case the •
duration is exceeded, make sure the system cools down for at least 10min. before being
used again
For adjusting the display press and hold the DOWN or the UP key. Hold the key until the •
desired display height is reached. The display indicates the current height approximately.
To avoid system overheating, the display should be moved straight to the desired position•
within the allowable duration of operation (1 min.).
4.4 Rotating the Display
With the ScreenLifter you can rotate the display 90° clockwise and also move it up and down in this
vertical position.
Read the display operating instructions of the manufacturer and check whether the operation•
in vertical position is allowable. If it is, check in which direction the display may be rotated.
Rotate the display only at the designated ears.•
Note the height of the lower display edge before rotating the display. To avoid damages, the •
lower display edge should be in 90 cm distance to the ScreenLifter cap before rotation. If the
distance is smaller, lift the display up further!
Before rotation, make sure the display and the ScreenLifter frame are screwed together tight. •
(For Panasonic TH-103PF9EK: 2 Pcs. M16x50 see Chap.5)
To rotate the display, pull out the notched pin (POS16) and rotate the display a bit with the help of the
provided ears before you release the notched pin again. In the case of complete rotation (90°) the
pin engages itself independently and audibly. To rotate the display back again, the notched pin must be
unlocked again.

13
Make sure that the display stands horizontally and that the pin is engaged in this position before
transporting the ScreenLifter.

5. Assembly of the Panasonic TH-103PF9EK Plasma Display
For the assembly of the display to the ScreenLifter you need the following parts:
4 x display adapter from the Panasonic accessories with tting screws M16 (also •
available as accessory).
2 x safety screws M16 x 50 from the accessories provided. •

15
Remove packaging from display and accessories if necessary and install the 4 cylindrical•
adapters with screws M16 to the back of the display as illustrated below.

16
If the ScreenLifter is still in the transportation case, proceed as specied in chapter 4.2.1, to lift •
it from its roll case. Make sure that the Screen-Lifter is placed on an even and rm surface.
Caution! The frame is smaller than the display. Make sure there is enough room, particularly •
next to and below the frame.
Insert the display from top to bottom to the frame plate, so that the groove of the display•
adapter slides into the plate.
To simplify the positioning, the two lower plates are a bit longer. Insert the lower plates rst.•
When correctly assembled, the display sits rmly on the frame and the drill hole of the middle •
plate covers the tapped hole of the display.
Secure the display now by inserting the two screws M 16 x 50 through the drill holes of the •
middle plate into the display.
Check the power connection of the display. If the power specications are identical to those •
of the ScreenLifter, you can connect the display to the ScreenLifter power socket.
Max. capacity of helix cable for power supply of the display: 2000 W. Please note the power •
supply requirements of the display!
