Introduction
FCC Class B Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
N
Overview
This unit was tested with shielded cables on the peripheral devices. Shielded cables must be
used with the unit to ensure compliance.
This guide covers the installation of the Extron PoleVault® 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 (see 2c, "Optional items", later in this chapter).
It is assumed that the installer has some knowledge and experience of A/V, electrical, or electronic device
installation. This guide takes the A/V installer through the steps for installation and connection of each of the
system’s component parts.
It may be that the locations for the devices (e.g., wall plates, projector, and screen) have been pre-determined.
However, some room installation examples are given to help in installations where nal location is yet to be
determined.
The PoleVault System
Extron PoleVault Systems are easy-to-use, network-enabled, all-inclusive packages, making them ideal for
single-projector K-12 classrooms. PoleVault Systems use economical twisted pair cables for transmitting signals and
include network connectivity for Web-based asset management, monitoring, and control.
N
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's 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.

Before you Begin Installation - Planning
Before installation is started, several major factors must be considered to ensure that the installation process is as
smooth and trouble free as possible, and that the final finished project meets the needs of the customers, users,
audiences, and installer.
The installation consideration on the following pages, though not comprehensive, should be consulted to help ensure
that key aspects have been considered.
1. Room layout
a. The room
The application diagram below shows a typical classroom installation.
Typical classroom installation
Room factors to be considered should include, but are not confined to:
• Room size, orientation, and layout:
Audience factors (e.g. number, ADA requirements, seating arrangements)
Existing installed furniture (bookcases, racks, cabinets, workbenches, sinks, etc.)
Windows, doors, and support pillar locations in relationship to the proposed screen location
• Ceiling and wall type (important in assessing the installation hardware needed)
Ceiling type: dropped, spline, hard lid etc., structural type (wood, concrete, trusses), plenum or
non-plenum
Wall type: drywall, cement, brick, etc.
W
Check the structural ceiling to ensure that it can handle a load four times the weight of the final setup.

Installation Overview
This overview outlines the basic steps for installing the PoleVault System. Detailed description of these steps is given
in five sections, Stages One though Five.
N
Carefully check inventory of PoleVault system packages, input and output devices, any optional accessories, and
installation hardware before commencing.
Outline of installation steps
Additional installation hardware is needed and should be supplied by the installer. See Introduction, “Items not
included” on page 1-8, for a list.
Optional accessories may be desired for this installation. For a list see Introduction, “Optional items”, on
page 1-8, or visit www.extron.com for details.
Refer to local building standards and codes to verify that the installation will meet all the regulatory requirements.
Observe all local and national building and safety codes, UL requirements, and ADA Accessibility Guidelines.
Refer to the specifications at the end of this guide for system hardware weights and dimensions.

Stage Five — Configure the switcher and the system.
c Congure the switcher — MLS Switcher Conguration program (page 2-24).
c Congure the system — Global Congurator (page 2-25).
c Test the system (page 2-26).
c Final installation (page 2-27).
Where possible in the following pages, line drawings and photos from an actual installation are used to clarify some

Stage 1
This stage involves installing the three pieces of hardware shown below.
PCM 340 Projector Drop Ceiling Mount
Where it goes: Attaches to structural ceiling, rests on
suspended ceiling.
What it does: Holds slotted pipe, PoleVault pole
mount kit (PMK 550 - see Stage 4), and
projector.
UPB 25 Universal Projector Bracket (shown separated into the two sections)
Slotted Pipe
(supplied with PCM 340)
Where it goes: Locks into place in
PCM 340 pipe adapter.
What it does: Holds pole mount kit and
projector.
Where it goes: Adjuster Plate screws onto base of slotted pipe, and Projector Bracket attaches to projector.
What it does: Attaches projector to PCM 340. Allows projector orientation to be adjusted in three planes.

1. Mark screen location
a. Mark the center line and the outer edges of the screen.
When marking the location of screens, devices, or the
T
site for installing transmitters and MediaLink control
devices, use painters tape to avoid wall surface damage.
When marking the center line of the screen,
where possible, keep it aligned with the center of the
ceiling tile. This makes the projector installation and
alignment easier.
b. Mark any structural studs, utility pipes, conduits,
or fire-breaks before drilling the hardware holes.
Do not drill the holes at this time.
2. Install projector to verify location
a. Remove the ceiling tiles, and mark the maximum and
minimum throw distances on the T-frame. Refer to the
projector manufacturer’s installation manual for more
information.
b. Place the PCM 340 over the T-frame, between the two
marks. Lightly tighten the T-frame securing screws. The
T-frame screws can be used on the outside or the inside
to secure the PCM to the T-frame.

c. Slide the slotted pipe up into the pipe adapter. Adjust
to the desired height and align the location holes and
pipe holes. Insert the location screw, lightly tightening it
down using a 5/32 inch hex wrench. Insert and lightly
tighten down the set screws onto the pipe. Do not
overtighten as the pipe is removed and replaced later
during installation.
d. Take the UPB 25 and back out the set screws using a
3/32 inch hex wrench on the top portion of the adjuster
plate (see
base of the pipe. Align it so the security flange is at the
rear.
Place the PCM 340 on the T-frame so that the
pipe adapter slides left to right in relation to the
proposed screen location, rather than towards and
away from it. This makes aligning/centering the
image easier.
