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.

Align Pipe holes with location screw holes.
Insert location screw and secure.

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.
