Installation to Extension Column/Ceiling Plate
NOTE: Refer to accompanying instructions with ceiling plates (sold separately) for installing
1
these models to 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 (I) 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.
• 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 wall plate 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 ny UL).
Place projector mount assembly (A) on ceiling as a template and mark the center of the two
2
mounting holes. 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 64mm) wood screws (D) and two fl at washers (F) as shown in
fi gure 2.1 or fi gure 2.2 depending on joist orientation.
Tighten wood screws (D) using 3/8" (10mm) socket wrench or phillips screwdriver until projector
mount assembly (A) is fi rmly attached.
Skip to step 5.

Installation to Concrete Ceilings
WARNING
• Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete
anchor.
• Make sure that the wall will safely support four times the combined load of the equipment and all
attached hardware and components.
Place projector mount assembly (A) on ceiling as a template and mark the center of the two
3
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 (C), two fl at washers (F),
and two #14 x 2-1/2" wood screws (D) as shown. NOTE: Mounting slots on projector mount
assembly allow for 30° (±15°) of rotation before fully securing wood screw. Tighten wood screws
(D) using 3/8" (10mm) socket wrench, phillips screwdriver or 10mm open end wrench until
projector mount assembly (A) is fi rmly attached.

WARNING
• Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly to load-bearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete expansion anchors to concrete covered with plaster, drywall, or
other fi nishing material. If mounting to concrete surfaces covered with a fi nishing surface is
unavoidable (not evaluated ny 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 plaster/
drywall is thicker than 5/8" (16mm), custom fasteners must be supplied by installer (not evaluated
by UL).
• Tighten screws so that projector mount is fi rmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening
can damage screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).

Installation to Threaded Rod
(Not evaluated by UL - Professional installation only)
Thread two 1/4-20 hex thin nylon-insert locknuts (not included) on two 1/4-20 threaded rods (not
4
included) to the desired height of projector mount assembly. Attach projector mount assembly
(A) to the two 1/4-20 threaded rods using two 1/4-20 hex thin nylon-insert locknuts as shown in
fi gure 4.1 or fi gure 4.2.
NOTE: The projector you are installing may differ in appearance from the sample illustrated
5
below.
Place projector upside down. Locate adapter plate (B) with notch facing forward as close to
projector center of gravity as possible without covering any mounting holes. Loosen channels
with 4mm security allen wrench (I), and if there are only three mounting holes remove fourth channel. Using one channel for each mounting hole, position feet of channels over mounting
holes as shown below. IMPORTANT: If projector does not have at least three mounting holes,
do not use this adapter plate.
NOTE: Some projectors have feet which can be removed and the corresponding threaded insert
can be used for a mounting hole.
NOTE: Once channels are in position retighten fasteners.

Attach adapter plate (B) to projector using one screw (J, K, L or M) for each channel as shown
6
below. Tighten all screws, while keeping the center of gravity. Be sure that adapter plate (B) is
straight. Adjust the feet of the channels to keep the adapter plate level. Tighten all screws with
4mm security allen wrench (I) while keeping the center of gravity. If M3 screws (J) are used,
tighten using 2mm security allen wrench (H).
NOTE: Projectors will require different size screws for mounting. Use a combination of screws
(J, K, L or M) and foot adjustment that will result in channels of adapter plate (B) fi tting tightly
against projector. IMPORTANT: In order to properly engage the threads in the mounting holes,
the screw must be turned at least 3 full turns.
NOTE: If using screw (J), place washer (G) between screw (J) and foot of channel.
CAUTION
• It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure
that the projector is properly ventilated. Feet
of channels are used to raise the mount off the
projector surface.
