These can be purchased at your local hardware store.
1. Begin by placing the upper bridge into position against the ceiling, keeping it level.
2. Mark off four holes to be used for securing the mount and place the upper bridge aside.
3. Next, drill holes using the appropriate masonry bit for your anchor.
4. Insert a concrete anchor into each hole.
5. If necessary, a hammer can be used to lightly tap each anchor into place so that they are flush with the ceiling.
6. Once all of the anchors are in place, move the upper bridge back into position.
7. Attach the nut onto the threaded shaft that is protruding from the ceiling.
8. Do not tighten until all nuts are in place.

Attaching the PDS-PLUS to the Projector
To truly show the versatility of the PDS-PLUS, the following pictures will show a variety of configurations that can be
achieved with the PDS-PLUS. Your individual application will depend on the purchased projector.
PDS-PLUS
To truly show the versatility of the ELE-UPROJB, the following pictures will show a variety of configurations that can be
achieved with the ELE-UPROJB. Your individual application will depend on the purchased projector.
1. Locate the mounting points on the bottom of the projector (see arrows above for sample mounting points).
Selecting the Proper Mounting Hardware
1. Turn the projector over and locate the mounting points.
2. Test each size of the screws provided.
3. The correct screws should thread easily into the mounting point and not pull out when pressure is applied.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN YOUR MOUNTING SCREWS TO THE PROJECTOR CHASSIS. USING THE
INCORRECT SCREW DEPTH MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR PROJECTOR.
The optional M3 flat washers may be used to decrease the screw depth of either the M2.5 x 12mm screws or the M3 x
16mm screws. Place a M3 flat washer inside the leveling barrel and then insert the mounting screw. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN THIS SCREW.
Lock-It™ Security Hardware Pack (Optional)
The PDS-PLUS comes with the option of using Lock-It™ Security Screws. To use the security screws, simply replace
the M6 x 12mm Phillips Pan head screws with the M6 x 12mm security screws. Once the hardware has been changed,
adjust the PDS-PLUS and tighten down the M6 x 12mm security screws using the M5 Security Allen wrench (supplied).

PDS-PLUS
Only attach to the projector manufacturer’s specified mounting points on the projector chassis with a minimum of three
mounting legs. Please follow all safety instructions specified by the projector manufacturer as well as the safety
instructions outlined in this manual.
Depending on your application, the long mounting legs and the short mounting legs may be used together. There are
multiple configurations that may be used combining the long mounting legs with the short mounting legs.
2. Attach the appropriate number of mounting legs to the projector using the corresponding mounting hardware (see Page 10, Selecting the Proper
Mounting Hardware).
3. If the mounting legs need to be leveled, rotate the leveling barrels to level the mounting bracket.
4. To raise the mounting legs, rotate the leveling barrel clock-wise. To lower the mounting leg, rotate the leveling barrel counter clock-wise.
5. When the desired position is achieved, tighten the mounting screws to the projector and then tighten the hex head leg screws with the M5 Allen
wrench.
