Introduction
This guide will allow you to program the show and service positions of your projector lift.
To program the projector lift, you will need to know:
1. The Show position
2. The Service position or fully lowered position
The following information is needed to calculate the rate at which the lift lowers (e.g.
mm/sec). If the information below is absent, the rate can be calculated by timing the projector
travel from the home position to the service position (fully lowered)
3. Motor tube diameter
4. Motor rpm or turns/min
A few calculations will enable you to calculate the Show position as a percentage of the total
drop. It will also let you work out the equivalent time (in seconds) for the lift to get to the
Service position (ie. Fully lowered). See illustration below.

Programming Process
I. Key Information –provided as a example only –you need to determine values for each for your lift:
Motor tube diameter : 51.1 mm
Motor rpm : 12 turns/minute
Show position : 1500 mm from home/closed position (measured from bottom of the projector lift frame)
Service position : 3000 mm from home/closed position (measured from bottom of the projector lift frame)
The Service position (fully lowered) is not programmed here. It is adjusted using the limit
switch on the tubular motor. Please refer to the “Wiring-Adjusting Motor Limits” section of
the Prolift Product Manual.
II. Calculations:
1. Motor tube circumference = πx D = 3.14159 x 51.1 = 160.535 mm
2. Rate of turn(sec) = rpm x result(1)/60 = 12 turns/min x 160.535 mm/turn divided by 60 sec = 32.107 mm/sec
3. Show position travel time (sec) = Show position/rate of turn = 1500 mm/32.107 = 46.71 seconds
4. Maximum travel time (sec) = Service position/rate of turn = 3000/32.107 = 93.43 or 93 seconds
5. Show position travel time, in %, away from reference = result(3)/result(4) = 46.71/93 x 100 = 50.22 or 50 %
III. Programming steps (see IV. Programming instructions using the 24-channel Programming IR/RF Remote Transmitter.):
1. On the programming line 7 below, enter the calculation result of number 4 above, i.e. 093.
2. On the programming line 8 below, enter the calculation result of number 5 above, i.e. 50.
3. To fine tune viewing height, do steps 14 & 15 below.
Command
Description
1
Stop+O7+C7>Open ALL (press & hold for >5 sec.)>Stop
Clears and restores all memory to factory default
2
Stop+O7+C7>O1>C1>O2>Stop
Assign the main channel to Channel 2 of remote transmitter(see Figure 2)
3
Stop +O7+C7>O2>C2>O1>Stop
Assign Show Position to Channel 1 of remote transmitter (see figure 2)
5
Stop +O7+C7>O2>C10>O2>Stop
Enable memory A & B to Channel 1 of remote transmitter (see figure 2)
6
Stop +O7+C7>O2>C10>O11>Stop
Change reference for travel time to bottom (or close position) limit
7
Stop +O7+C7>O2>C10>O13>O10>O9>O3>Stop
Set maximum travel time (001 to 299 sec). press Open10 for zero
8
Stop +O7+C7>O2>C11>O5>O10>Stop
Set travel time of memory A (open button) to xy% away from reference
9
Stop +O7+C7>O2>C12>O10>O10>Stop
Set travel time of memory B (close button) to 0% away from reference
10
Stop +O7+C7>O2>C10>O8>Stop
Enable memory positions A & B on manual/dry contact input (see figure 1)
14
Stop +O7+C7>O2>C11>O11*>Stop
Nudge position** of memory A 1/40th second away from the reference
15
Stop +O7+C7>O2>C11>O12*>Stop
Nudge position** of memory A 1/40th second towards the reference
Note: * Press Open 11 (O11) or Open 12 (O12) as many times as desired before pressing STOP
** 1 Nudge Position (1 Green color flashing on the RP60ABMH controller LED) is approximately 1 mm drop/movement

IV. Programming instructions using the 24-channel Programming IR/RF Remote Transmitter:
1. Before we get started, the legend of the characters used are as follows:
a. O= Open
b. C= Close
c. += Press and hold simultaneously
d. >= Indication to proceed to the next button to press
e. #= The channel to be programmed (1 to 60 channels)
2. The “STOP+O7+C7>” is a series of commands pressed on the 24-channel IR/RF remote transmitter as a first
step to enter into programming mode (see figure 3). To execute this, press and hold the STOP button first, then
press OPEN7 and CLOSE 7 simultaneously. You should see the front LED on the 24-channel programming
transmitter blinking following this (indicating waiting for the next command). If not blinking, press STOP
button and start again.
3. The “STOP+O7+C7>O#”represents the path of the channel to be programmed. By default, # is channel 1. If
the sequence is performed correctly, you should see the red Program mode LED on the RP60ABMH motor
controller come on (see figure 1).
4. The series of commands following the above sequence “STOP+O7+C7>O#”represents the various
programming instructions, e.g. “STOP+O7+C7>O1>C1>O2>STOP”which means reassign or move the main
programming channel from Channel 1 to Channel 2 of your remote transmitter. As the sequence is carried out,
the red LED on the motor controller will come on after the OPEN1 (O1), blinks one time after pressing
OPEN2 (O2) and will go out after the STOP (STOP) button is pressed. Be sure to press STOP button every
time to complete a programming line.
5. Writing program using the 24-channel Programming IR/RF remote transmitter (see figure 3):
a. During programming, ensure that the transmitter is aimed at the IR eye of the motor controller.
b. To access buttons/channel from 13 up to 24, press SHIFT button first, then press the desired
button/channel (e.g. SHIFT>OPEN1/13>SHIFT which really means OPEN13 on the transmitter). As
SHIFT button is pressed, the red front LED on the transmitter will come on to indicate the transmitter
buttons are now shifted to the channel 13 to 24 set. After pressing desired button or channel, ensure
that the SHIFT button is pressed AGAIN (the red front LED light should go out to indicate button
assignment is shifted back to the default channel 1 to 12 set) before proceeding to next step.
6. To modify the desired positions (viewing or service height), there is no need to re-write the whole program.
Just execute any desired program line below after recalculating values following formulas on II. Calculations
above:
