ceiling.
Screw projector mount assembly (A) onto extension column as shown in fi gure 1.1. Tighten swivel stop screw
against extension column, fl ush mount tube or reducer using 4mm security allen wrench (B) as shown in fi gure
1.2.
NOTE: Swivel stop screw is used to jam against threads of extension column, fl ush mount tube or reducer to
prevent any excess movement of projector mount assembly (A). Do not overtighten screw; overtightening screw
will damage threads making it diffi cult to separate products.

Installation To Wood Joist Ceilings
WARNING
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all
attached hardware and components.
• Tighten wood screws so that projector mount assembly is fi rmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening
can damage the screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).
• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the stud. The use of an "edge to edge" stud fi nder
is highly recommended.
• Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs.
Installers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations (Not Evaluated by UL).
Place projector mount assembly (A) on ceiling as a template and mark the center of the two mounting holes.
2
Make sure that the mounting holes are in the center of the wood joist. Drill two 5/32" (4mm) dia. holes to a
minimum depth of 2-1/2" (64mm). Attach projector mount assembly (A) with two #14 x 2-1/2" (6mm x 65mm)
wood screws (F) and two fl at washers (E) as shown in fi gure 2.1 or fi gure 2.2 depending on joist orientation.
NOTE: Mounting slots on projector mount assembly allow for 30° (±15°) of swivel adjustment before fully securing
wood screws.
Tighten wood screws (F) using 3/8" (10mm) socket wrench, phillips screwdriver or 10mm open end wrench until
projector mount assembly (A) is fi rmly attached.

Installation to Concrete Ceilings
WARNING
• Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor.
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.
Place projector mount assembly (A) on ceiling
1
as a template and mark the center of the two
mounting holes. Drill two 5/16" (8mm) dia. holes
to a minimum depth of 2-1/2" (64mm). Attach
projector mount assembly (A) using two concrete
anchors (G), two fl at washers (E), and two #14 x
2-1/2" wood screws (F) as shown in Illustration A
and 1, 2 and 3).
NOTE: Mounting slots on projector mount
assembly allow for 30° (±15°) of swivel adjustment
before fully securing wood screws.
Tighten wood screws (F) using 3/8" (10mm) socket
or open end wrench or phillips screwdriver until

• Never tighten in excess of 80 in • lb (9 N.M.).
WARNING
• Always attach concrete anchors directly to loadbearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete anchors to concrete covered

If mounting to concrete surfaces covered with a
fi nishing surface is unavoidable (not evaluated by
UL), the fi nishing surface must be counterbored
as shown below. Be sure concrete anchors do not
pull away from concrete when tightening screws. If
