Determining the Installation Height

In order to determine the installation height and throw distance, the PDS-PLUS projector bracket must be mounted to the
projector. Please refer to the PDS-PLUS Installation Instructions prior to performing the following steps.

Refer to the projectors User’s Manual to determine the offset of the projector lens to the top of the screen/whiteboard.

PDS-PLUS Bracket

Projector

WMK-027

Lens

Step 1. Measure distance from center of lens to the top of the PDS-PLUS bracket.
Step 2. Add the distance from the ground to the top of the screen (A), the recommended offset from the projector manual (B),

the measurement from Step 1 (C), and then add 1.5”.
(Example: A + B + C + 1.5” = ?)
Step 3. Measure the calculated distance from the top edge of the viewable area of the screen/whiteboard and mark the wall. This mark
will represent the lower edge of the wall plate.

Throw Distance Calculation

Please review the Operator’s Manual that came packaged with your projector before attaching the upper mounting
bracket. The correct throw distance (the distance from the projector to the screen) must be determined prior to mounting
the projector.

Step 1. Refer to the projectors Users Manual to
determine the distance from the lens to the
front of the screen.
Step 2. Measure the distance from the front of the
lens to the center of the PDS-PLUS (see
diagram).

Front Mounted Lens

For front-mounted lenses, add distance (Y)

to distance listed in projector Users Manual.
Rear Mounted Lens

For rear-mounted lenses, subtract disance (Y) from
the distance listed.
Step 4. Use a tape measure to mark the appropriate
distance on the WMK-027. This
will be where the center of the mounting
bracket will be located.
