Installation Instructions Page 7
Lift Operation
Console ON/OFF Box Functionality for Display Lift Applications
Systems utilizing the console ON/OFF box will automatically turn on and off a display connected to the system. Power is delivered to
the display when the lift is raised, and removed when the lift is lowered. The system is capable of running up to three lifts in parallel
with impulse functionality and always active Anti-Collision™.
Impulse Activation
When a key is pressed to drive the system up or down, the lift system will continue running after the key is released until it reaches the
stroke limit. If the system comes in contact with a rigid obstruction, Anti-Collision™ will be activated.
The user may also stop travel of the lift system by pressing a button opposite to the present travel direction. For example if the system
is being driven up, pressing the down button will stop the system.
Remote Activation (optional)
When used in conjunction with the IR sensor and remote, the lift system is capable of being operated remotely. To activate the system
in either the up or down direction wirelessly, simply point the remote at the receiver and press the respective button.
Depending on the furniture and screen size of the television, different stroke lengths are sometimes needed. Adjustments in the stroke
may be performed using the IR sensor. Remote activation is performed using the remote.
To set the stroke limit, move the lift to the desired position using the IR sensor. The lift will move on its own after a single button press,
so be sure to press the key opposite to the direction of travel to stop it at the preferred location. Where the lift stops will then be set as
the stroke limit. This stroke limit is only obeyed by the remote.
Anti-Collision™
The anti-collision function is always active when running the system. Anti-collision can limit material damages on a flat screen lift if a
collision with a solid object should occur.
Situations where the Anti-Collision™ does not work
There are situations where the anti-collision will not be activated. These situations are:
If the collision happens during the initialization phase
If the collision happens within the first 1000 msec or after the control button has been released
If the collision happens between the floor and the table and the load on the desk + the weight of the legs are lower than 40 kg
If the collision happens over too long time, e.g. if the collision is with a soft object
Initialization of the lift system
When a system is first assembled it is necessary that the system be initialized. The lift system is initialized by pressing the down button
once or twice and holding it down until the lift runs into end stop, it will then automatically run approximately 3mm out again hereafter,
slowly running in again. Only release the down button when the movement has completely stopped.
If the button is released before the sequence is complete then the initialization is interrupted and must be started again
from the beginning.
Because the lift can be in different modes when initialization starts, it is sometimes necessary to press the down button twice to start the
initialization. If an error situation occurs at the end stop positions, then the lift has to be initialized again.

Base Installation
The following steps direct you only on how to attach the lift to a pre-existing mounting surface. These directions will
proceed on the assumption that you have already selected your mounting surface (i.e. furniture enclosure, plywood
base, concrete floor, etc.). Unpack the L180F and familiarize yourself with the components. Please take time before you
install the L180F to determine the location of where the L180F will be mounted. Please familiarize yourself with all
components contained herein.
Step 1. Place the steel floor board on the mounting surface inside the cabinet, making sure that the steel floor board is centered
right to left and positioned against the front inside wall of the cabinet.
Step 2. Locate the nine (9) mounting holes that are on the steel floor board.
Step 3. Using nine (9) #10 x 3/4” wood screws (supplied) and a portable drill, attach the steel floor board to the mounting surface.
All wiring must be completed prior to performing the following steps.

bracket, use the top four (4) screws only.
This will allow the slide support brackets to
be raised higher.

Selecting the Mounting Hardware
 Insert a small straw or toothpick into the threaded
inserts found on the back of the flat panel.
® Use a pencil to mark the depth of the threaded insert
on the small straw or toothpick.
¯ Mark the straw or toothpick 1/8” above the depth of
the threaded insert, as shown in Figure 1.
° Insert the small straw or toothpick into the remaining
threaded inserts to compare and verify their depth
using the straw or toothpick’s 1/8” allowance mark.
± Locate the correct diameter screw for the threaded
insert.
If the screw you selected is longer than the 1/8”
allowance mark on the small straw or toothpick,
as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, do not use this
screw. The screw length must not bypass the mark.
² Test each size of the screws provided.
The correct screws should thread easily into the
mounting point and not pull out when tension is
applied.

Securing the Display
Once the brackets have been placed over the upper mounting rail on the mounting back plate, use a screwdriver to tighten the two bracket
security screws. This will secure the display to the mounting back plate and will also prevent any lateral shift (see NOTE:) movement.
The lateral shift adjustment allows
the user to center the display on the
mount. Once the display is attached,
slide the assembly left or right to cen-
ter the display.

Troubleshooting Procedures
Symptom Check Try
The lift does not run.
Is the main connected to the control box?
Are all the plugs mounted correctly in the control box?
Is there any visible damage to the cables, controls, or
the control box?
Try to connect a lamp to the main power supply to check
that the supply voltage is functioning.
Check all connections.
Damaged parts must be exchanged (contact your vendor).
Is the lift in the fully extracted position?
Is there any load on the lift compared to when the lift
functions normally?
When the lift has reached its upper position it can only run
downwards.
Remove any load and try again.
The lift stops and can only
operate in the opposite
direction.
The lift will only run down-
ward even though the lift is not
overloaded.
Perform Basic Setting (see Owner’s Manual that came
packaged with the lift).
The lift does not run with full
stroke length upwards. It always
stops at the same position.
The system has set a new start/stop program.
Perform Basic Setting (see Owner’s Manual that came
packaged with the lift).
The lift does not run at all. No
movement is observed.
Defective handset or control box.
Poor connection.
Main cable has been disconnected.
No voltage on the main cable.
Check all connections. Check that there is voltage at the
main plug. Connect a handset that you know functions
correctly. If the lift runs, than the handset is defective. If
this does not work, than the control box is defective.
The lift is in the down position
and will not go up.
The lift is overloaded.
The cable between the lift and the control box is not
OK.
Remove some of the load from the lift.
Perform Basic Setting (see Owner’s Manual that came
packaged with the lift). If Basic Setting does not work,
exchange the cable.
L180F
Step 1. Once lift is completely installed, lower the lift to its closed position and release the down ( ) button.
Step 2. Press and hold the down ( ) button until the lift resets.
Step 3. Press the up ( ) button and monitor the lift as it moves up.
Step 4. Once the lift has reached the desired height, stop it by pressing the down ( ) button.
Step 5. Press the down ( ) button again to lower the lift.
Step 6. The programming phase is complete once the lift is in the lowered position.
Step 7. The lift should only be controlled by the remote at this point. If the buttons on the manual switch are pressed again, it will reset
the lift and the height setting will be lost. If this happens, run the previous steps again to re-program.
Programming Lift Height (Optional)
You can program the travel height of the lift using the optional remote. To do this, please refer to the following instructions.
