Installation for custom designs:

 

1)      Attach the actuator to the bottom of the cabinet with a bracket

2)      Attach the other end of the actuator (with a bracket) to a piece of wood - smaller than your TV dimensions

3)      The sides of the piece of wood are attached to the guide rails for smooth travel – the guide rails are attached to the cabinet with 2 vertical 2X4’s

4)      The TV bracket is attached to both the piece of wood and the TV – for support

5)      Wire the 4 channel remote control (and the limit switches if required) to the actuator

6)      Wire the 4CH-RC  to the power supply

Wiring diagrams can be found on www.firgelliauto.com

Detailed description of each part:
Please use these links below to take you to all the websites required to buy all the parts you need to build your own TV lift kits at a fraction of the cost.

If you have looked into the cost of a pop up
Plasma TV Lift mechanism? I know they cost over $1000, that's almost as much as the TV itself. We the reality is that to lift a TV up and down is not rocket science, all you need is a linear Actuator and some brackets and linear guide rails to make your own. We have put a few resources together here that will allow you to build your own kit for under $500. Whilst we don't have any plans or drawings (because everyone's needs and systems they are fitting them into are different) its not that difficult, the links below are the most critical parts you need to buy for your system. The rest you can make with some wood or aluminum extrusions available at your local hardware store.

TV Lift Linear Actuators

Electric Linear Actuators from only $120 these provide the lifting motion that you need to lift the TV up and down and are available in different strokes and different force capacities:: You need a linear actuator to give you the lifting motion. When choosing an actuator you need to know the Stoke (how far you want to lift) how much force you need (the weight of the TV) then based on the stroke and force you can choose an actuator from this company


Mounting Brackets


Linear Actuator Mounting Brackets only $18 each, needed for each end of the Linear Actuator for the TV Lifts.


Draw guide rails


Drawer Guide Rails from only $40 per set, you need this to guide your TV up and
down and provide stability for the whole system, match the stroke with the stroke of
the actuator, or as close as possible.


TV Mounting Brackets


Universal Plasma TV Mounting brackets if required from $60, mount the TV to this as well as the guide rails and linear actuator mounting bracket. Here you will need
to do some drilling to attach all these parts together


Remote Controls and power supplies to control your linear actuator:


Remote Control systems

Remote Controls and power supplies to control your linear actuator, TV Lifts


Gas Springs


Use gas springs because they take a large weight of the TV which allows you to use
a much faster Linear Actuator
