4. Using the appropriate power cord, provide power to the EVCM-100. The power inlet is a
general-purpose IEC-320 power inlet for Class 1 applications rated at 10A international,
15A North America. The main plug to the appliance inlet shall be used as the primary
disconnect device.

5. Make sure the area directly below the unit is clear of all individuals and obstructions and
lower it to floor/service level as follows:

A Unlock the four locking clasps [See Fig. 1, Item (3)] on each side of housing,

making sure the locking clasps are clear of the keeper plates, by turning them
180°counter-clockwise.

B Turn power switch (4) to ON.

C Depress and hold the down arrow side of rocker/control switch (5) until the

adapter plate (6) is to floor/service level.

D With unit resting on floor or service platform, depress the down arrow side for

approximately four seconds. This will provide slack in the cable for easy
movement of adapter plate.

6. Attach hanging bracket to the projector. See the enclosed HB instructions (projector
Model determines which hanging bracket is required for your EVCM-100).

7. After attaching the hanging bracket to the projector, install the adapter plate to the
hanging bracket using six hanging bracket bolts (7) (three on each side) through the
holes in the hanging bracket and tighten securely into the adapter plate.

the adapter plate is seated to the ceiling mount housing.

B When adapter plate is properly seated, the unit will turn off.

C After the adapter plate is seated to ceiling housing, make sure hasps connect

with keeper plates and lock the four locking hasps.

D Turn clockwise to lock adapter plate to ceiling mount housing and turn the power

switch (4) to OFF. You can now attach power and cables to the projector.

Projector Alignment Instructions

WARNING! During projection alignment, loosen mounting hardware only
enough to allow for necessary movement. Loosening or removal of mounting
hardware may result in serious damage to equipment or personal injury.

Vertical Elevation (pitch): Adjust pitch by loosening six-pitch adjustment bolts (See Figure
1,Item 8). Loosen both sides and adjust pitch by tilting projector in the desired direction. When
desired pitch is obtained, securely tighten bolts on both sides.

Horizontal Tilt (roll): Adjusted roll by loosening six-pitch adjustment bolts (8) and turning
adjustment bolt (9) clockwise to raise and counter clockwise to lower. Roll adjustment can be
done on both sides of unit. When desired roll is obtained, securely tighten the six-pitch
adjustment bolts.

Positive Registration Lock: Tighten pitch adjustment bolts. You can now lower the unit to the
ground and remove the projector, without losing projector registration, by removing six bolts (7)
holding the HB hanging bracket to the EVCM.
