ATH2 Owner’s Manual
SAFETY! SAFETY!
1) Read and understand instructions and heed warnings before beginning installation.
2) Mount rail securely. The lens is heavy, and requires a secure and stable surface. Fasteners in
sheetrock alone are not safe. Reciprocal lens motion can and will work them loose. Use a
board, plate, or projector mount fixed to ceiling joists or studs.
3) Ladder caution: Exercise extreme caution when working on a ladder. Do not work directly
above another person, particularly a child. Plan all work carefully. Accidentally dropping a
drill, hammer, or the lens assembly can cause serious bodily injury.
4) Unexpected lens mo vement: Anticipate all lens motion. A malfunctio n can cause the lens to
move unexpectedly. While on a ladder, do not stand in direct path of lens in case of
unexpected or accidental movement. Disconnect power when installing, working on, or
repositioning the lens.
5) Indoor use only: Do not install lens in a wet or moist environment, or where the mechanism
will be exposed to extreme or external weather conditions.
6) Object and liquid entry: Never pour any liquid or push any object into the enclosure.
7) Power Sources: The power adaptor is intended for 100- 220 volt, 50-60 cycle AC power only.
8) Power Cord: Do not subject power cord to conditions which will wear through or cut the
insulation. Avoid excessive tension or chafing of the cord.
9) Service: Do not service the motor drive or electronics. There are no user serviceable parts.
Contact your dealer. Send only to a factory approved facility.

2 Motorized Lens Sled Parts
During installation, this manual will refer to the motor side, or the pulley side of the mechanism. Refer to
the picture below for a description. As shipped from the factory the “lens-in” side of the unit is at the motor
end. Depending on the projector, “Lens in” will either be on the motor or the pulley side of the sled. See
Chapter 6 – Setup, to configure the “lens in” orientation of the sled to the pulley side.

3 Plan your installation
The lens assembly may be mounted in one of two ways:
1) To the ceiling or projector mount above the projector
2) To a shelf or table below the projector
When attaching motor assembly to the ceiling, use a board, plate, or lens enabled projector mount
attached to the ceiling joists or studs. Sheetrock embedded fasteners will work loose with repeated lens
movement causing the mechanism to fall, resulting in possible severe injury. The Panamorph AKX or
AKCPro mounting kit is highly recommended.
Changing Orientation of Logo Plate (optional)
As shipped, the lens sled is configured for ceiling mounted operation. As such, the logo reads right side up
with the mounting bar on top. If you are using the sled in a table or shelf mounted configuration, you may
optionally turn the logo around so that it is right side up with the mounting bar below the projector.
To reverse the logo, remove the 4 screws securing the motor housing cover. Lightly spread the sheet metal
cover and lift it off. Once removed, you can easily access the logo plate. Remove the two small plastic
screws securing the logo plate, turn the plate around, and re-install the screws. Lightly tighten the screws,
as the threads are plastic. Re-install the motor cover housing using the original screws. Make sure the fiber
optic light pipe connector is completely inside the housing before reinstalling motor hou sing screws.
An alternative to reversing the logo plate is to turn off the back light, thereby rendering the logo
inconspicuous. Simply press the PANEL OFF button to accomplish this.
