INSTRUCTIONS - 

INTERFIT 

PROJECTOR LIFT – FVI and HTI Series

Thank you for purchasing a Screen Technics AV Lifter and please ensure to 
read the instruction fully before proceeding to install the unit.

GENERAL ADVICE

• 

The Interfit AV Lifter is a fully integrated unit that is designed to be installed above the ceiling 
line of the room and utilises bottom ceiling edge trim pieces to create a neat finish against the 
ceiling material cut-out. 

• 

No plaster or paint trades are required for this standard installation.

• 

All electrical and control equipment is contained in the ceiling space. A standard 3 pin GPO for 
power supply is required.

• 

Review the cut-out dimension fact sheet attached to the top lid of the unit, as model sizes vary 
throughout the range.

• 

Before proceeding ensure that you have enough in-ceiling height to fit the unit. And that your 
model lifter will accommodate the projector that is specified for the project.

• 

Make sure you have reviewed the Lens Throw Distance Chart provided with the projector so that 
the Lifter will be the correct distance from the projection screen and to allow for any sideways 
lens off-set to achieve a perfect result.

INSTALLATION ADVICE

• 

Having decided on the position of the Lifter you must now cut the ceiling material to the stated 
cut-out dimension. We recommend that you divide the cut-out in two and remove one half at a 
time to prevent torn edges.

• 

Every above ceiling environment is unique and therefore there is no singular approach to 
securing the unit within the ceiling space. Following are some accepted install practices.

PLEASE NOTE:

 You MUST utilise the four (4) Black Steel L Brackets and the 12mm bolts to secure 

this lifter into the ceiling. The four (4) smaller white L brackets may be used to stabilise the unit 
but CANNOT be the main support.

CHAIN AND TURNBUCKLE 

STEP 1.

 Secure the chain to a suitable structure, such as 

overhead timber beams, or dyna-bolted to an overhead 
concrete slab.

STEP 2.

 A minimum of 4 points to secure the chain is 

required and it is the installers responsibility to ensure 
the chain turnbuckle system chosen is strong enough 
for the safe installation of the unit.

STEP 3.

 Secure the chain to a suitable structure, such as overhead timber beams, or dyna-bolted 

to an overhead concrete slab.

STEP 4.

 Now raise the unit into the ceiling, hold in position from below while a second person 

secures the other end of the chain to the lifter using the supplied BLACK angle brackets and 
tighten the turnbuckles till the units ceiling edge trims are firmly pressing against the underside 
of the ceiling material.

STEP 5. 

Lock off the turnbuckles.

Chain and Turnbuckle  

 

Secure the chain to a suitable structure, such as overhead timber beams, or dyna-bolted to an overhead 

concrete slab. 

 

A minimum of 4 points to secure the chain is required and it is the installers 

responsibility to ensure the chain turnbuckle system chosen is strong enough for 

the safe installation of the unit.  

 

Now raise the unit into the ceiling, hold in position from below while a second 

person secures the other end of the chain to the lifter using the supplied BLACK 

angle brackets and tighten the turnbuckles till the units ceiling edge trims are 

firmly pressing against the underside of the ceiling material.  

 

Lock off the turnbuckles. 

 

 

 

 

All-thread Brooker Rod   

 

Secure 4 x brooker rods to a suitable overhead structure with a proprietary loxin 

system designed to accept threaded rod.  

 

Space around the outside corner dimensions of the unit.  

 

Wind a set of nuts up the rods above the installation height and then insert the rods 

through the supplied angle brackets, now attached to the lifter unit.  

 

Now wind on a set of nuts under the bracket till the ceiling edge trims are firmly 

pressing against the underside of the ceiling material, then wind the upper nuts down 

onto the angle brackets to lock off unit. 

 

 

Installations are best achieved by have access into the roof space but this is not always possible, and in these 

instances we advise the following practices: 

 

Installing from Beneath the Ceiling Line 

 

 

Connect power in a safe manner to the unit and support the lifter so you can motor the projector cage 

lower than the ceiling edge trims and you will see 6  Allen key bolts holding the cage assembly to the unit. 

Remove these and set aside the cage unit. 

 

Remove the projector mounting plate by removing the 2  Allen key bolts at the front under side of plate 

and pull the forward to remove from the lifter assembly. 

 

Motor the remaining assembly to the full up position (watch out for your fingers…) and you now have room 

to access the interior of the unit. 

 

Inspect the 8 installation slots running up the corner frame uprights. These are used to secure the device 

to some suitable structure from below the ceiling line.  

 

Either add some timber in the ceiling along two sides to coach bolt into place or suspend from threaded 

rod or some suitable angle brackets. 

 

Raise the unit into the ceiling, fit the screws or bolts (as appropriate to selected method) and apply 

upward pressure to the unit so the ceiling edge trims are pressed firmly against the underside of the 

ceiling material and tighten off the screws or bolts. 

 

Motor down the mechanism and refit the projector plate and cage assembly. 

 

 

Please Note

When utilising the above method of installation from beneath the ceiling, it is best to use a method of 

fixing to any structure that will allow you at a latter date to remove the lifter for any future servicing issues, without 

the need to break into the ceiling – please consider this issue before deciding on the best installation method.
