INVERT THE PROJECTOR IMAGE
Please refer to the owners manual for your LCD Projector for detailed instructions of how to electrically
invert the projected image to accommodate its use in the ceiling mounted mode.
LOCATION OF THE CEILING BRACK ET
Please refer to the owner’s manual for your SHARP LCD PROJECTOR for information which will help
you to determine the best location for the placement of the ceiling mounting bracket assembly.
INSTALLATION OF THE CEILING BRACKET
After you have determined the appropriate location for the ceiling bracket, you must locate the exact
location of the ceiling beam s . Mos t s ta n dar d residen tial cons t ruc tion u ses 16 in c hes between cen t e rs
for overhead beams. You can mount the ceiling bracket b y straddling two beams, or you can ins tall the
bracket in line with a single beam.
CAUTION: THE BRACKET MOUNTING SCREWS MUST GO DIRECTLY INTO THE BEAMS.
SHEETROCK, LATH AND PLASTER, WILL NOT PROVIDE A SUFFICIENTLY SECURE
SUPPORT.
STEP 1. INSTALLATION OF THE METAL CEILING BRACKET
A ft e r t h e l o catio n fo r the ceilin g b ra c ket ha s been determined , (see LCD PROJECTOR
Ow ner ’s Manual), make sure to lo ca te beams in t he ceiling.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CEILING BRACKET AN-CM270
1.1 a. Selec t strad dle beam or s ingle beam installation.
b. Use the ceiling bracket as a template to mark the locat ion where the pilot holes
should be drilled.
c. Drill the pilot holes for the support screws using a 1/8” drill bit into the center of
the beam. (See Figs. 2 and 3).
1.2 Screw the ceiling plate to the beams. Use at least 6 screws and metal washers
supplied with the unit. These screws should be tightened firmly to insure a
v ibration-free support. (See Figs. 2 and 3).
Two sizes of hex head lag bolts are provided. Use shorter screws for sheet rock
surfaces and use the longer screws if the ceiling surface is constructed of a wood
lath and plaster.
CAUTION: THE BRACKET MOUNTING SCREWS MUST GO DIRECTLY INTO
THE BEAMS. SHEETROCK OR LATH AND PLASTER WILL NOT PROVIDE A
SUFFICIENTLY SECURE SUPPORT.

STEP 2. INSTALL THE CEILING MOUNT PLASTIC TRIM
2.1 The Access Hole (See Fig. 4) in the ceiling attachment plate is large enough to accommodate the
molded connectors commonly used the with projector.
2. 2 Audio, Video and other low v oltage connections may be passed through t he access hole in t he
ceiling plate and may also be passed through the plastic trim cover. There is a l abel (See Fig. 4) on
the inside of the plastic trim cover, adjacent to the center mounting bushing.
2.3 Select the contour appropriate for your application and cut out the opening along the line indicated
on the label. Use a very sharp cutting tool.

POSITIONING ASSEMBLY AND T HE ATT ACH MENT PLATE GO
TOGETHER SO THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO REASSEMBLE THEM
WHEN YOU HANG THE PROJECT OR.
3.1 Using 9 / 16 ” box wrench, remove the nut from the lower knuckle
(vert ical position) and slide t he center an d upper k n u ckle assembly apar t
from t he bottom knuck le w h ic h is part o f the

SPECIAL NOTE TO INSTALLERS: In s ome instances the relationship of
the locat ion o f t he projec ti on screen to t he exact po siti on o f t he ceiling
moun t in g b racke t m akes it desirable t o have the center line of t he lens at
the center of the mounting bracket. I f you find it necessary to have the
lens at t he cen ter line o f t h e mo un t , r emo ve the lo w e r element of the
positioning knuck le f rom its original posit ion and re-mount it in the D
shaped h o le i n the mounti n g p late lo c ated i n t he area over t he lens. Th is
will align the centerline of the lens with the center of the mounting
bracket. T he posit ioning knuc k le assembly can easily compensate f or the
slight loss of sta ti c balance of t he m ounted projector.
STEP 4 INSTALLA TION OF THE PROJECTOR ATT ACH MENT PLATE
4. 1 Place the attachment plate over t he bott om o f the projector (See Fig. 6)
and al ign the holes of the plate with the threaded fittings on the projector case.
