Installation to Extension Column / Ceiling Plate
1
NOTE: Refer to accompanying instructions with ceiling plates (sold separately) for installing these models to
ceiling.
Screw projector mount assembly (A) onto extension column as shown in figure 1.1.
NOTE: For 3/4" extension columns, reducer ACC 913 will be required as shown in figure 1.2. Tighten swivel stop
screw against extension column, flush mount tube or reducer using 4 mm security t-wrench (L) as shown in figure
1.3.
NOTE: Swivel stop screw is used to jam against threads of extension column, flush 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 difficult 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 firmly 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 finder 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 UL approved).
Place projector mount assembly (A) on ceiling as a template and mark the center of the two mounting holes. Make
2
sure that the mounting holes are in the center of the wood joist. Drill two 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes to a minimum
depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Attach projector mount assembly (A) with two #14 x 2.5" (6 mm x 65 mm) wood screws (C)
and two flat washers (F) as shown in figure 2.1 or figure 2.2 depending on joist orientation.
Note: Mounting slots on projector mount assembly allow for 30° (±15°) of rotation before fully securing wood screws.
Tighten wood screws (C) using 3/8" (10 mm) socket wrench or phillips screwdriver until projector mount assembly
(A) is firmly 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 as a
3
template and mark the center of the two mounting
holes. Drill two 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum
depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Attach projector mount
assembly (A) using two concrete anchors (D), two
flat washers (F), and two #14 x 2.5" wood screws (C)
as shown in Illustration A and 1, 2, and 3.
Note: Mounting slots on projector mount assembly
allow for 30° (±15°) of rotation before fully securing
wood screw.
Tighten wood screws (C) using 3/8" (10 mm) socket
wrench or phillips screwdriver until projector mount
assembly (A) is firmly attached.
Skip to step 5.

WARNING
• Tighten wood screws firmly , 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.).
WARNING
• Always attach concrete anchors directly to loadbearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete anchors to concrete covered
with plaster, drywall, or other finishing material. If
mounting to concrete surfaces covered with a finishing
surface is unavoidable, the finishing 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",
custom fasteners must be supplied by installer (not
UL approved).

Installation to Threaded Rod
(Not evaluated by UL - Professional installation only)
Thread two 3/8-16 hex thin nylon-insert locknuts (not included) on two 3/8-16 threaded rods (not included) to the
4
desired height of projector mount assembly. Attach projector mount assembly (A) to the two 3/8-16 threaded rods
using two 3/8-16 hex thin nylon-insert locknuts as shown in figure 4.1 or figure 4.2.
For customer care call 1-800-729-0307 or 708-865-8870.
Attaching Adapter Plate to Projector
Note: The projector you are inst alling may differ in appearance from the sample illustrated below .
Place projector upside down. Locate adapter plate (B) with notch facing forward as close to projector center of
5
gravity as possible without covering any mounting holes. Loosen channels with 4 mm security t-wrench (L), 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.

Generic Projector
Attach adapter plate (B) to projector using one screw (G, H, I or J) for each channel as shown below . T ighten all
6
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 4 mm security t-wrench (L) while keeping the
center of gravity . If M3 screws (G) are used, tighten using 2 mm security allen wrench (M).Note: Projectors will require different size screws for mounting. Use a combination of screws (G, H, I or J) and
foot adjustment that will result in channels of adapter plate (B) fitting 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 (G), place washer (K) between screw (G) 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.
