USFM 100 Installation Guide, cont'd

Installation

WARNING: Before commencing installation, the wall structure must be examined to determine if it is suitable

for the proper installation and support of this product. If needed, the installer should reinforce the wall.
Drywalls should have a minimum thickness of 1/2 inch and a maximum thickness of 5/8 inch.
Improper installation of this product could lead to serious injury.

NOTE: Check local building standards and codes to verify that the installation meets regulatory requirements.

Observe all local and national building, electrical, and safety codes, UL requirements, and ADA accessibility
guidelines.

The location and type of wall where the USFM 100 is to be installed should be identified before starting
installation. This determines the installation method and the type of fasteners used to secure the plate to the wall.

Recommended installation tools

• Level (24 inch) • Ladder • Tape measure • Stud nder • Drill and drill bits • Phillips screwdriver

• Allen hex wrenches (5/64, 3/32, and 5/32 inch sizes)

1. Mount the Base Plate

NOTE: Before installation, see the user manual for the display device to determine the proper location and

placement of the mount. Take into consideration the projector lens offset, screen size, screen aspect, and

projected image throw distance. See page 8 for the dimensions of the USFM 100 (with the projector pipe and
UPB 25 attached) to aid in this determination

a. At the desired site, use an edge-to-edge stud finder to locate the center of the wall studs (wood or steel).

Mark each stud location.

NOTE: For secure installation, it is required to attach the base plate to two wall studs, using a minimum of

four securing points. Drywall toggles can be used for holes that are not aligned with studs (see figure 3).

This product is not intended to be mounted solely to drywall.

b. Hold and level the base plate against the wall. Mark a minimum of four positions (two top, two bottom)

using either the mounting slots or the keyholes (slots uppermost) that are on the stud lines (see the + marks
in figure 2). Where applicable, mark the mounting holes on the wall for drywall toggles.

c. If the cables are to be run behind the wall to the USFM 100 location, mark the cutout area on the wall large

enough for signal cables (see figure 2).

d. Remove the base plate and set it aside. Cut out the marked area for cable access.

For drywall with wood studs

D.

i. Drill ¼ inch pilot holes at the marked stud locations.

ii. Align the base plate mounting holes over the pilot holes and lightly secure with 5/16 inch lag screws and

washers.

NOTE: If using toggle screws for assembly, follow the installation method (steps A-D) shown in figure 3.

A. Grasp plastic handle, collapse
toggle and insert into wall.

B. Slide plastic washer down
into pilot hole.

C. Cut off plastic handle close
to wall.

Hand screw in pan head bolt

until 1/8 inch gap remains.

Figure 3. Steps for Toggle Assembly Installation

iii. Verify level and position, and fully tighten down all the screws to secure the plate flush to the wall.

For drywall with steel studs

i. Drill a ½ inch (13 mm) hole through the stud, at each of the locations (four recommended).

ii. Insert the supplied toggles through the studs and lightly secure the plate using the four supplied

(¼-20 x 2 inch) bolts and washers.

iii. Verify level and position, and fully tighten down all the bolts to secure the plate flush to the wall.

2. Mount the Switcher

a. Place the mounting plate flat on the switcher base with the two small raised tabs on top, and the small

securing tab over the front panel. Align the two mounting holes in the switcher base with the corresponding
holes on the mounting plate. Secure the plate to the switcher using the two 4-40 x ¼ inch pan head screws.

b. Secure the mounting plate (and switcher) to the base plate by aligning the two small tabs on the back of the

mounting plate over the corresponding tabs on the base plate (see figure 4, inset). Slide it down into place.
Secure it to the base plate by passing a 6-32x¼ inch screw up through the securing tab (see figure 4). Tighten
down the screw.

NOTE: Mount the switcher with the rear panel uppermost for ease of cable connection (see figure 4).
