Introduction
Overview
This guide covers the installation of the Extron PoleVault Digital System, and also the
installation methods for each type of WallVault and PlenumVault enclosure.
NOTE: PoleVault, WallVault, and PlenumVault Digital systems use the same digital PVS
switcher, input source AV devices, control device, and ceiling speakers. However,
the systems have different mounting enclosures, (PMK 560, USFM 100, WMK 160,
and PVM 220), depending on the system type. This guide attempts to use a basic
PoleVault Digital System setup to cover installing the common system components,
and highlights the different enclosure installations separately.
The PoleVault Digital System is used 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.
WallVault Systems are specifically developed for classrooms or lecture rooms with a wall
mounted short-throw projector or flat panel display. WallVault Systems utilize either the
USFM 100 or WMK 160 enclosures to securely mount and conceal the system switching
and audio amplification components on the wall.
PlenumVault Systems are designed for rooms with a suspended ceiling. They utilize the
PVM 220 PlenumVault Mounting Kit that securely mounts and conceals system components
in the plenum space above the suspended ceiling.
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 Digital PoleVault, WallVault, and PlenumVault Systems
The Digital PoleVault, WallVault, and PlenumVault Systems are easy-to-use, networkenabled, all-inclusive packages, making them ideal for single-display classrooms. These
Systems use shielded 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 which 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 Digital Systems • Introduction
Before You Begin — Planning the Installation
Before installation is started, you must 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:
The application diagram below shows a typical classroom installation.

1. Mark Screen Location.
PCM 340
Minimum/Maximum
Throw Distance Marks
TIPS:
• When marking the location of screens,
devices, or the 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.
a. Mark the center line and the outer edges of the
screen.
b. Mark any structural studs, utility pipes, conduits,
or fire breaks before drilling the hardware holes.
Do not drill the holes yet.
2. Install Projector to Verify Location.
a. Remove the ceiling tiles at the location, and
mark the maximum and minimum throw
distances on the T-frame. See the projector
installation manual for more information.
Mark the screen location.
Ä
TIP: For ease of working on the T-frame,
remove the adjacent tiles.
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.
NOTE: 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 it easier to align and center the
image.
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. The pipe is removed and replaced
later during installation.

e. Carefully follow the steps below to install the
projector bracket on the projector.
i. Invert the projector on a flat surface to access
the mounting points. Use a blanket or a
similar item under the projector to protect the
projector and the surface.
ii. On each arm, rotate the barrel (on the end
of the arm) so that it only just protrudes from
the base of the arm (see the figure at right).
iii. Select the correct sized mounting screws and
the appropriately sized washers that fit the
projector mounting point inserts.
iv. To attach the arms to the projector:
The next step is critical as it provides a
flat surface for the bracket to sit on, and
must be done for each mounting point.
• Place a washer on a mounting point
(see the figure at right).
• Position the arm so the barrel is over the
washer.
• Insert the mounting screw down through
the barrel and washer, and into the
threaded insert (mounting point). Lightly
tighten the screw by hand.

• Using the slots on the bracket that are
closest to the barrel on each arm, place
the clamp under the arm and lightly secure
it to the bracket with the adjustment screws
(see the figure at right). Loosely secure all
the mounted arms.
