➀ Read instructions completely before proceeding.
➁ Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to instructions invalidates
warranty.
➂ Do not obstruct operation of AeroLift 25 with fi ngers or any object. Serious
injury or damage could result.
➃ It is not uncommon to overheat the motor during initial installation when set-
ting limits. The motor is thermally protected and will stop working temporarily.
DO NOT physically pull the unit down when this occurs. Once it has cooled
to a safe temperature, it will begin operating again.
➄ The AeroLift 25 is designed to accommodate ceiling suspended equipment.
Equipment should not be allowed to rest on ceiling closure during operation.
(Refer to section titled "Installing Pro jec tor.")
➅ Entire bottom of unit must be unobstructed to permit proper op er a tion.
➆ Unit must be installed level (use a carpenter's level).
➇ Unit operates on 220V AC current.
Note: Unit has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and found to be
operating properly prior to shipment.
➀ Based on screen location and projector specifi cations, determine proper
position for projector in stal la tion.
➁ Confi rm that there is adequate space for installation and operation.
Minimum clear ance above ceiling level varies according to height of projector,
optional projector mounting bracket, optional ceiling closure and optional
Environmental Air Space Housing.
➂ Arrange to provide service access to the unit.
➃ Total capacity of lift is 12 kgs, including closure, projector and bracket.
As Soon As AeroLift 25 Arrives
➀ Open carton and inspect for damage.
➁ Locate the following parts:
A. The unit itself
B. Controls
C. Any optional equipment
Hanging Unit
The AeroLift 25 is provided with four (4) mounting angles for suspending or direct
mounting the unit from above or direct mounting from the sides. These angles
provide up to 32 mm of adjustment (front to back). The AeroLift 25 is designed to
fi t between joists spaced 41 cm apart on center (assuming 51mm joists), and to
close to aproximately 102 mm, not including the projector, bracket or closure. The
unit should be guy wired or blocked to pre vent swing ing. All installations should
observe the following guidelines:
➀ Installer must ensure that all fasteners and supports are of ad e quate strength to
securely support AeroLift 25 and projector. It is recommended that hardware
structure be able to hold at least four times the combined weight of the lift,
projector, Environmental Air Space Housing, closure and ceiling material
attached to closure.
Caution: DO NOT hang from, "ride" or pull down on the unit. This could
create a failure and cause damage and/or injury.
➁ Fastening methods must be suitable for mounting surface, and se cure ly
anchored so that vibration or abusive pulling on unit will not weaken installation.
➂ Bottom of unit must be unobstructed after installation. Suffi cient clear ance must
be allowed below projector or optional ceiling closure.
➃ Do not use unit to support adjacent ceiling, light fi xtures, etc.
➄ Do not complete the ceiling below unit until electrical connections have been
completed and unit has been operated successfully.
➅ Use slots on the projector plate and on the closure to adjust the unit to ensure
proper alignment of ceiling closure relative to ceiling opening.

Print ed in U.S.A.
Electrical Connections
Unit operates on 220V AC, 60 Hz. current.
The AeroLift 25 is shipped closed, with a temporary fi eld connection provided in
the form of a pigtail temporarily wired to the unit. After hanging the unit, make sure
power is off and use this pigtail to temporarily connect the unit to power and to a
switch, so the unit can be lowered to allow access inside.
Please note: Make sure electrical supply has been disconnected before
attempting to connect AeroLift 25 to electricity.
Terminal strip for fi eld connections is located inside a junction box on the end
of the unit. Unit is shipped with internal wiring complete to the terminal strip.
Once the unit has been lowered, turn off power and remove the J-box cover. The
terminal strip is attached to the cover. Disconnect temporary pigtail from unit, then
complete permanent wiring to electricity and to switches. Wire to connect unit
to power supply and to switches should be furnished by in stall er. Con nec tions
should be made in accordance with wiring di a gram, and wiring should com ply with
na tion al and local elec tri cal codes. All op er at ing switches should be "off" before
power is con nect ed.
AeroLift 25 should be operated and checked prior to installing projector and/or
optional ceiling closure.
Operation
When unit is fi rst operated, be cautious! If unit fails to operate when the switch
is fl ipped "down", return switch to "off" and recheck elec tri cal con nec tions
before pro ceed ing. Cycle unit down and up several times to confi rm sat is fac to ry
operation.
220V Single Sta tion Control (CE Approved)—3-position UP-OFF-DOWN
switch per mits op er a tion to be stopped at any point. Factory set limit switch es
au to mat i cal ly stop lift when fully down or fully up.
220V Multiple Station Control (Not CE Approved)—Switches are similar in ap-
pear ance to Single Station Control. Lift stops when switch is re leased and may be
re start ed in either direction. Factory set limit switches stop lift au to mat i cal ly when
fully up or fully down.
24V Control (CE Approved)—Three-button UP-STOP-DOWN switches stop at any
point desired, operate in any sequence. Factory set limit switch es au to mat i cal ly
stop lift when fully up or fully down. Wire less con trols—whether infrared or radio
fre quen cy—interface with low voltage control box.
RS232/Ethernet (CE Approved)—Serial communication and network
communication optionally available with wall switches, RF or IR remote.
Key Operated Switching (Not CE Approved)—Two kinds of key-operated
switches are op tion al ly available with this unit. ➀ The key-operated power sup-
ply switch controls power to the lift and switches. When it is "off", the switches will
not op er ate lift. Key may be removed from the switch in "on" or "off" position. ➁ A
three-position key switch permits the lift to be op er at ed directly by key. In this case,
the lift's operator must have a key.
Testing the Safety Limit Switches
The AeroLift 25 is equipped with a Safety Limit Switch (see "AeroLift 25—Limit
Switch Adjustment (Bottom View)" diagram on page 3). This switch may be dam-
aged during shipping or by rough handling on the job site. Once the AeroLift 25
has been installed in the ceiling, but before the projector and closure are attached,
the Safety Limit must be tested. Use a screwdriver or other tool to press and
hold the switch. While holding down the switch, have someone operate the unit. If
the unit works while the switch is depressed, the limit switch is broken and
must be replaced. Operating the unit without a functioning Safety Limit Switch
could cause the unit's motor to continue operating after the lift is closed, leading to
a failure and the possibility of damage or injury.
Please Note: As weight is applied to the AeroLift 25, the projector plate may
shift slightly. If this occurs, use setscrews on bottom of fabric roller brackets
to compensate for shift and level projector plate.
