How to install AeroLift 100

Step 1: Plan and assess the ceiling space. Start with a careful evaluation of the ceiling cavity to confirm structural support and identify an optimal cutout location. Verify joist orientation, load-bearing capacity, and ensure clearance above the ceiling for smooth travel. Confirm screen placement and projector alignment to ensure proper throw and image geometry when the lift is extended.

Step 2: Prepare electrical and data connections. Install a dedicated, properly rated outlet for the lift’s motor and route all projector data and control cables through the lift’s integrated cable channels. Keep cables organized and protected to prevent snagging during operation, and use surge protection to safeguard electronics.

Step 3: Mount the lift housing and align. Mount the ceiling-recessed housing to the prepared cutout, aligning it with level and flush with the surrounding ceiling plane. Verify that the mounting points are secure and that the housing sits evenly to ensure a perfect retraction profile.

Step 4: Attach and align the projector. Secure the projector to the lift plate or appropriate adaptor per the manufacturer’s guidance. Align the projector with the screen, and fine-tune tilt and horizontal alignment to achieve a perfectly square image when the lift is extended. Confirm that the projector’s lens aligns with the screened image during full travel.

Step 5: Calibrate travel limits and safety features. Use the control interface to set travel endpoints, test ascent and descent, and verify that the soft-stop and anti-sway features engage correctly. Check that the projector returns to the recessed position cleanly and that there is no binding or interference with ceiling components.

Step 6: Final checks and commissioning. Run multiple cycles to ensure reliable operation, cable routing stays secured, and there are no unusual noises or resistance. Provide the user with the remote control configuration, basic maintenance tips, and a quick reference for safe operation and troubleshooting.
