BEFORE YOU BEGIN .....
• CAUTION: To prevent damage to the ceiling lift, which could affect or void the factory warranty, thor-
oughly study all instructions and illustrations before you begin to install or operate the lift. Pay particular
attention to the “Important Precautions” on Page 1.
• Because of the size and weight of the lift, Chief Manufacturing recommends that at least two people be available
when installing the lift.
• If the lift is to be installed in a plenum rated ceiling, it must be hard wired through the strain relief, control wiring
must be Class II, and all open holes in the housing (except joist tabs) must be sealed using foil tape.
• If the lift is to be suspended from the ceiling using a 1-1/2-in. pipe, it must be ordered with a CMA-150 mount
bracket that includes a pipe coupler.
• If it is to be installed in a non inverted position (raising up), it must be ordered with an SLB mounting bracket that is
custom-designed for the specific projector model referenced on your order.
• If it is to be installed in a suspended ceiling, it must be ordered with a CMA-240 Suspended Ceiling Installation Kit.
• The lift is supplied with a separate controller that can be attached to the frame of the lift, mounted nearby, or placed
in a remote location.
• The Model RC-10 Radio Frequency Remote Control or the Model IR-10 Infrared Remote Control is available as an
accessory from Chief Manufacturing. The controller is also compatible with many 24V controls from other manu-
facturers.
• If you have any questions about this installation, contact Chief Manufacturing at 1-800-582-6480.

The Model SL-100 and SL-150 SMART-LIFT Electric
Ceiling Lifts are reliable, heavy-duty, affordably priced
video lift mechanisms for LCD /DLP projectors. They are
designed for home-theater, conference room, or school
applications.
The ceiling lift provides an attractive solution to recess a
projector in the ceiling. Or, they can be flush-mounted to
a finished ceiling to protect and secure the projector, as
in a classroom situation.
Your projector can be securely mounted in an inverted
position (shown) or be set in the tray.
Plenum Rating requires use of Class II control wiring,
electrically hard wiring the unit, and all open holes in the
housing (except joist tabs) must be sealed using foil tape
