Introduction
Overview
This guide covers the installation of the Extron PoleVault IP System in a drop ceiling room
with a wood or concrete structural ceiling. If the location has a concrete or beam style
ceiling, alternative ceiling mounts can be obtained separately from Extron.
It is assumed that the installer has some knowledge and experience of AV, electrical,
or electronic device installation. This guide takes the AV installer through the steps for
installation and connection of each of the system component parts.
It may be that the locations for the devices (for example, wall plates, projector, and screen)
have been pre-determined. However, some room installation examples are given to help in
installations where final location is yet to be determined.
The PoleVault IP System
Extron PoleVault IP Systems are easy-to-use, network-enabled, all-inclusive packages,
making them ideal for single-projector classrooms. PoleVault IP Systems use economical
twisted pair cables for transmitting signals and include network connectivity for Web-based
asset management, monitoring, and control.
NOTES:
• The hardware and devices listed on the inventory pages have detailed safety
information, installation, set-up, and configuration instructions, and should be
referred to as needed.
• For operation and setup of the projector, screen, and input devices, refer to the
relevant manufacturer manuals supplied with those devices.
• A PoleVault System Installation video is viewable online at www.extron.com.
This video is also a step by step guide to installing PoleVault System and is useful
for first-time installations.

PoleVault IP Systems • Introduction
Before You Begin — Planning the Installation
PoleVault Syste
Before installation is started, you must be consider several major factors to ensure that the
installation process is as smooth and trouble free as possible, and so that the final finished
project meets the needs of the customers, users, audiences, and installer.
The installation considerations on the following pages, though not comprehensive, should
be consulted to help ensure that key installation aspects have been considered.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance
When planning where to install the Polevault System, you may need to consider factors
affecting accessibility of the system such as the height of devices from the floor (for example
the MLC controller), distance from obstructions, and how far a user must reach to press any
device buttons.
For guidelines, see sections 307 (“Protruding Objects”) and 308 (“Reach Ranges”) of the
2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design available at http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/2
010ADAStandards/2010ADAStandards.pdf

Figure 2. Typical Classroom Installation
Room factors to be considered should include, but are not confined to:
• Room size, orientation, and layout:
• Audience factors (for example number, ADA requirements, seating arrangements)
• Existing installed furniture (bookcases, racks, cabinets, workbenches, sinks, and so
forth.)
• Windows, doors, and support pillar locations in relationship to the proposed screen
location
PoleVault IP Systems • Introduction 3
• Ceiling and wall type (important in assessing the hardware needed)
Windows
• Ceiling type: dropped, spline, hard lid and similar. Structural type (wood, concrete,
trusses), plenum or non-plenum
• Wall type: drywall, cement, brick.
WARNING: Structural ceiling failure could cause death serious injury or
death. Check the structural ceiling to ensure that it can handle a load four
times the weight of the final setup.
• Lighting
• Type and control (important for projector image viewing)
• Ambient light from windows

• The lowered screen does not cover safety devices, such as fire alarm strobes.
• Dimensions and type of screen (maximum image size, motorized or hanging screen)
• Proposed projector location
• Projector aligned with center of the screen and not an obstruction to viewing
• Projector throw distance (maximum and minimum limits to the screen) of the image
• Horizontal offset (horizontal distance from the center of the lens to the center of the
projector)
• Vertical offset of the projected image (height relationship between the projector and
the screen)
• Projector angle (image projected up, down, or horizontal to screen)
• Power source for the projector: existing and accessible or needing installation
• Projector weight: the Universal Projector Bracket (UPB 25) supports a maximum
weight of 25 lbs.
• Viewing obstructions: Pillars, furniture and so forth, window locations for glare
reduction, obstructions between projector and screen.
• Overhead clearances (refer to a copy of ADA Standards for Accessible Design,
Sections 307 and 308, for ADA requirements)
