SAFETY INFORMATION SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE CAN RESULT FROM IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR ASSEMBLY. READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS BEFORE BEGINNING: CABINET LID HAZARD TV HAZARD CAUTION: Avoid contact with the TV and Lift System during operation. Use with caution. CAUTION: The cabinet lid must be installed as described in the instructions, using the Lid Stabilization hardware.
About the Cabinet Lid Cover NOTE: The Lid Cover is not provided with the Lift System, as it is part of your cabinetry What is the Lid Cover? The Lid Cover is the piece of material that you choose to have “float” just below the TV. Typically, this material is made of wood and is not provided with the lift system. When the TV lift fully retracts, the Lid Cover will conceal the hole that is required for the system to drop-down through the cabinet and into view. IMPORTANT NOTE: THE LID COVER IS OPTIONAL.
Types of Controls for Nexus 21 Lift Systems All Nexus 21 Lift Systems come standard with a wireless remote control and receiver. We offer a choice of two different type of remotes: IR and RF (both of which are explained in detail below). Our standard control type is RF, so unless you specifically requested the IR version when you made your purchase, you probably received the RF controls with this Lift System.
Assembly and Mounting Instructions – You Are Ready to Start Please perform the following steps, in order: Step 1: Inventory the Parts List. Carefully inspect all items, making sure you have everything shown in the Parts List. Step 2: Seat the “pigtail” cable properly on the top of the Lift Column. Take the Lift Column (Part #1) and find the end with the short black cable (this cable is called the “pigtail”). This end will become the BOTTOM of the Lift Column.
Step 3b: Lightly tap the right and left side of the Bayonet Bracket with a rubber mallet to properly seat the bracket. Turn the Lift Column around and check to make sure the Bayonet Bracket is level. Step 4: Place the Base Mount (Part #2) inside of your enclosure against the back wall and the top panel of the enclosure. Make sure to center the Base Mount from left to right inside the enclosure. Mark the four countersunk holes of the Base Mount.
Step 6: Attach the Lift Column to the Base Mount. Place the Lift Column (Part #1) with the Bayonet Bracket (Part #3) attached against the back wall of the enclosure. Using the provided small 4mm Allen Wrench drive the (4) 6mm x 40mm FHMS Screws into the top of the lift column. NOTE: The end of the Lift Column with the “pig-tail” is the bottom of the Lift Column. Step 7: Using a level, make sure the Lift Column is level and parallel with side panels of the enclosure.
Step 9: Mounting the Controls to the Back Panel of the Enclosure: Using (4) #10” x ¾” FHWS attach the Control Box and (2) #8” x ¾” FHWS for the IR or RF Receiver (Depending on which Controls you ordered) to the back panel of the enclosure. The RF Receiver or IR Receiver will plug into either RJ45 port on the Control Box. The Motor Cable must plug in to Port # 1 on the Control Box.
IF YOU HAVE IR CONTROLS, USE THIS DIAGRAM (for RF Controls, see the following page) Once you have connected the controls, test the Lift Column as follows: First, you need to “initialize” the Lift System. If you have already lowered the Lift Column, raise it again, since this step must be performed in the “up” or retracted position. Find the Wired Backup Switch, which has two triangle-shaped buttons - a DOWN (with raised dot) and an UP. Press the UP button and HOLD IT for approximately 5 seconds.

Step 10: Attach the Monitor Adapter Plate (Part #4) to the back side of your TV. Located the VESA Bolt Pattern on the back side of your TV, they should be in a square or rectangle pattern. Align the Monitor Adapter Plate holes with the VESA holes on the back of your TV. Make sure the four studs on the Monitor Adapter Plate are facing away from the TV in a horizontal fashion. Using (4) of the appropriate length M4 Phillips Head Machine Screws, fasten the Monitor Adapter Plate to the TV.
Step 11b: Using (4) ¼” flat washers and (4) 6mm Nyloc Nuts fasten the Monitor Hanger to the Adapter Plate. NOTE: Make sure the Monitor Hanger is level before tightening the nuts. Step 12: Attaching wire management clips to the Monitor Hanger. Using (2) Wire Clips, place the Wire Clips on the inside wall of the Monitor Hanger. Place them on the same side the Control Box is mounted to. Position one Wire Clip towards the top of the Monitor Hanger and one clip just above the second PEM Nut.
Step 13a: Attach the Monitor Hanger and Lid Plate to the bottom of the Lift Column. Make sure to run the Motor Cable through the Wire Clips previously installed before you attach the Monitor Hanger. Align the Lid Plate (Part #4) with the holes on the Monitor Hanger. Step 13b: Using (2) 6mm x 20mm FHMS Screws attach the Monitor Hanger to the bottom of the Lift Column. Make sure you use the (2) 6mm x 20mm FHMS Screws in a diagonal fashion, leaving two holes open for the Top Plate.
Attaching your Lid Cover to the Lid Plate NOTE: The Lid Cover is not provided with the Lift System, as it is part of your cabinetry If you have decided to attach a Lid Cover to your system, please use the following procedure: The two Lid Stabilization Assemblies (each consisting of parts #18-22) are used to hold the Lid Cover in proper alignment with cabinet opening.
Step 14a: Hold your lid panel (your ceiling cut-out piece) up to the Lid Plate (part #7), which you have already installed on the lift. The Lid Plate has 2 holes that are used to attach your lid piece. Mark the position of the holes on your lid panel. Drill two holes ½” deep using a 3/8” drill bit in the marked positions. Step 14b: Using a flat head screw driver, drive the Brass Inserts (Part #19) into the ½” deep holes.
Step 15b: Add a 1” Fender Washer to the Threaded Studs on top of the spring you previously installed. Once washer is added, fasten a 10-32 Nut (Part #22) to the top of the Threaded Studs. You will need to compress the spring in order to screw the nuts down. Step 16: Attach the Cable Re-coiler to your cables. Mount the provided Cable Re-coiler towards the top of your enclosure on the same side as the control box. Attach the cable to the bundle of wires that run to the back of your TV.
