This document describes the Nexus 21 L-65 HTG, a motorized lift system designed for concealed television installations within cabinets. The system's primary function is to raise and lower a television, allowing it to be hidden when not in use and revealed for viewing.
Function Description:
The Nexus 21 L-65 HTG is a sophisticated lift mechanism that integrates a television into custom cabinetry. It consists of a lift column, a screen support, and various mounting components that work together to provide smooth and controlled vertical movement of a display. The system is controlled by a control box and can be operated via a backup switch, with provisions for contact closure, IR, RF, and IP controls, offering flexible integration into various home automation systems. The design incorporates a hinged top guide mechanism, which is crucial for proper lid operation and preventing pinch points, ensuring safe and consistent movement of the cabinet lid as the TV extends and retracts. The system is designed to be blocked 2 inches away from the cabinet's hinge point to ensure consistent operation and prevent damage.
Important Technical Specifications:
While specific dimensions and weight capacities are not explicitly detailed in the provided pages, the "Safety Information" section emphasizes the importance of not exceeding the weight capacity to prevent personal injury or equipment damage. It is the installer's responsibility to ensure the total combined weight of all attached components, including the TV and any soundbar, does not exceed the maximum stated figure. The system uses #8 x 3/4 FHWS, #10 x 1-3/4 FHWS, #10 x 3/4 THWS, M6 x 12 BHMS, M6 x 12 FHMS, and M6 x 16 FHMS screws for assembly, indicating robust construction. The control box requires AC power and provides DC output for the lift column. The installation process involves precise measurements, such as attaching the column clamp base 23.5 inches [59.7cm] from the top of the base mount, and aligning the TV 1/2 inch [1.3cm] from the top of the template for optimal positioning.
