Important Information
This guide describes the installation of the SMART LightRaise™ projector mount on a
standard concrete or cinder block wall or a supported framed wall, as detailed on page 12. If
you have any other material cladding your wall (such as brick and masonry), consult
professionals with the appropriate expertise. We don't recommend installation on an
unsupported wall because writing on the SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard may cause
the boom to vibrate and interfere with the board's orientation.
A qualified service technician must install your LightRaise unit.
WARNING
The projector used with the SMART LightRaise projector mount is a high-brightness light source. Do
not view directly or stare into the beam of light created by the projector. Be especially careful to
instruct children not to look in the direction of, or stare at, the beam of light.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.
WARNING
The SMART LightRaise unit is projector-specific. When you order your unit, the model of boom and
console as well as the projector mounting accessories are selected to match the projector you have
specified. Do not mount any other projector or equipment. Any other weight hung from the LightRaise
boom may cause the boom to bend or break, which can injure anyone beneath it.

Other Precautions
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the SMART LightRaise projector mount, read this
guide carefully before setting up and using it. Observe the following precautions:
1
Adding more weight or applying an unexpected force to the boom may cause it to break
and possibly cause injury.
2
Do not hang anything from the boom, hit or jostle it in any way or remove the struts.
3
Sitting or leaning on the console may cause damage.
4
The upper boom bracket and console bracket must each be fixed to at least two wall studs
or two places in concrete. We recommend the brackets be attached to each stud in more
than one location. We don't recommend installation on an unsupported wall because this
type of wall may cause the boom to vibrate when someone is writing on the SMART
Board interactive whiteboard. See page 12 for a definition of an unsupported wall.
5
Avoid setting up and using the LightRaise projector mount in an area with excessive levels
of dust, moisture, humidity or cigarette smoke.
6
Do not attempt to modify the power cord. Handle the power cord carefully and avoid
excessive bending. The power cord should be routed so that it is unlikely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against it. If you must run the cable over the floor, lay
the cable in a flat, straight line and secure it to the floor with tape or a cable management
strip in a contrasting color.
7
The LightRaise console is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug. This plug will
only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding-type plug.
8
The installation must ensure direct and clear access to the main power plug.
9
Unplug the console during electrical storms or if the console will not be used over a long
period of time.
10
If replacement parts are required, the service technician must use replacement parts
specified by SMART Technologies Inc. or parts with the same characteristics as the
original that have been approved by SMART Technologies Inc.
11
Ensure the door brackets do not pinch the console cables. See page 46 for the proper
positioning of these cables as they leave the console.
12
Only authorized personnel should service the unit. Do not service your projector while it is
attached to the boom. Remove it for servicing. For details, read the supplemental
instructions supplied with the projector mount.
13
If the power supply to the unit is cut off while the system is running, wait at least two
minutes before you press the System On button. The LightRaise console may not power
up because it is waiting until the projector lamp has cooled. Consult the projector's user
manual for instructions.

Introducing the SMART LightRaise Projector Mount
The SMART LightRaise projector mount is an integrated solution to house your projector, your
computer and either a VCR or DVD player connected to your front-projection SMART Board
interactive whiteboard. The LightRaise projector mount eliminates the need for a projector
ceiling mount. Hidden from sight are the connections between the wall-mounted SMART
Board 560 or 580 interactive whiteboard, supported projector and either a computer running
the Windows operating system or a Macintosh G4 computer.
The LightRaise projector mount consists of two main parts: a boom and a console.
The boom perches over your wall-mounted SMART Board interactive whiteboard to hold an
approved projector the correct distance from the board. The console nestles beneath the
board, housing an internal computer, a VCR or DVD player, and the cable connections for all
components. A wireless infrared (IR) keyboard also comes with the LightRaise console.
Cables to connect an external computer are stowed at the console's side so guest laptop
users can easily connect and quickly access the functionality of the SMART Board interactive
whiteboard.

Console
The Fully Installed SMART LightRaise Projector Mount
NOTE:
information contained in this guide pertains to either the console or the boom, most installation
instructions are aimed at the installer of both pieces. Read carefully the information on
pages iii–iv for recommended sections for your installation.
You may have purchased one of the parts separately from the other. While most of the
SMART LightRaise Installation and User's Guide 1
Page 10
The LightRaise mount is easily installed by a qualified service technician, who may be a
SMART Technologies Inc. technical staff member or your SMART reseller, or any member of
your own staff qualified to perform the installation.
The LightRaise projector mount requires little maintenance. Its presence makes working
with a SMART Board interactive whiteboard easier. Since your projector doesn't get
jostled, you don't need to repeatedly perform an orientation procedure on your interactive
whiteboard.
The features of the LightRaise projector mount include:
•
a built-in audio system with two speakers
•
a wireless infrared (IR) keyboard
•
easy access to your internal computer, VCR or DVD player
•
easy access to the control panel, which contains projector and volume controls
•
a control system for all your cable connections
•
all cables required to connect your projector, SMART Board interactive whiteboard,
internal computer, VCR or DVD player, and external computer
•
a hinged boom for easy access to the projector
•
tamper-resistant fasteners and a locking console to secure your equipment
Supported Projectors
SMART Technologies Inc. has tested various projectors with the LightRaise boom. Our
requirements include projector weight, throw distance and minimal tilt of the SMART
Board whiteboard in order to get a clear, square projected image. An up-to-date listing of
supported projectors is available on our Web site in the Specifications section for the
LightRaise product (www.smarttech.com/lightraise).
NOTE:
more heat than larger models. If your projected image quality deteriorates after the
LightRaise mount has been in use, check the projector's power or status indicator. If it is
flashing, turn the LightRaise console off for approximately five minutes to give the
projector a chance to cool down. Consult your projector's user manual for information on
how to interpret its power and status indicators.

Wall Specifications and Mounting Information
For optimal performance, the LightRaise projector mount must be mounted on a stable wall.
Otherwise, the motion involved with writing on the interactive whiteboard may cause the boom
to vibrate, which in turn may disturb the projected image enough to interfere with the
whiteboard's orientation.
Ideally, the wall on which you mount the LightRaise projector mount should be structural or a
demising wall. We recommend you install the projector mount on a wall made of cinder block,
concrete or a supported wall framed with either wood or metal studs. An example of a properly
supported, framed wall is one where the wall studs extend upward and are anchored at top
and bottom into the structure of the building.
For concrete or cinder block walls, drill holes using the supplied drill bit and then insert the
appropriate supplied screws. If you're mounting the boom on a cinder block wall, drill holes
into the center of the block, where possible, because the rib in the center of the block will
provide more support.
For wood-framed walls, screws can be inserted directly into the wooden stud. Use drywall
anchors, inserted with a Phillips screwdriver
drywall (not studs), such as the keyhole locations marked with the template tool. However, for
the two outer mounting holes for the console mounting bracket, use the supplied toggle bolt
anchors and fasteners.
For walls with metal studs, use the supplied toggle bolt anchors and fasteners inserted into the
center of the metal studs. Use drywall anchors, inserted with a Phillips screwdriver
hammer
marked with the template tool. Also, you'll need to use the supplied toggle bolt anchors and
fasteners at the outer mounting holes for the console mounting bracket.

When the System Off indicator is flashing quickly, pressing the System On button instantly
returns your projected image.
When the System Off indicator is flashing slowly, pressing the System On button restarts
the LightRaise mount. However, you won't see your projected image instantaneously. The
green System On indicator will flash and you'll have to wait awhile before the LightRaise
mount and the projector are ready for use. Depending on the temperature of the lamp, this
may take three minutes or longer.
If the System On indicator continues to flash after the volume level and source indicators
are lit, check that the currently selected source is powered on and properly connected.
Automatic Shut-Off Feature
Provided you set your internal or external computer's energy-saving setting to 30 minutes (see
pages 48–49) and your currently selected source is this computer, the LightRaise mount will
shut off after 30 minutes of no video signal. This means that your computer will stop sending a
video signal after 30 minutes of inactivity. After another 30 minutes without this signal from the
computer, the LightRaise mount begins to power down.
While your projector will be properly cooled and shut down, a total of one hour will be added to
your lamp life.
NOTE:
52 SMART LightRaise Installation and User's Guide
The automatic shut-off won't work if the VCR or DVD player source is selected.
Page 61
Changing the Volume Level
Once the volume level indicator is illuminated, you can adjust the source's audio volume.
Volume levels are specific to the display source for the projector. This means that you can set
the volume level for the internal computer separately from the volume level for the VCR or
DVD player and the external computer.
To increase the volume level for the selected source, press the + button. More volume level
indicators will be illuminated.
To decrease the volume level for the selected source, press the – button. Fewer volume level
indicators will be illuminated.
Changing the Projector's Input Source
An indicator is illuminated beside the projector source on the right side of the control panel.
You can easily change the display source using the control panel's source selection buttons.
To change the display source:
1
Ensure the new source is connected and has power. For an external computer, you may
have to toggle between the LCD and the external video displays using the laptop's
Function key. Consult your computer's user manual for more information.
2
Firmly press the appropriate source selection button on the right side of the control panel:
for the internal computer
for the external computer
for the VCR or DVD player
Using Your SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard
Consult the
your SMART Board interactive whiteboard.
While every effort has been made for the SMART LightRaise projector mount to absorb
normal building vibration, you may find that the LightRaise mount does shift slightly with
normal use. If this happens, you'll notice that the cursor on the SMART Board interactive
whiteboard doesn't appear directly beneath your fingertip when you touch the whiteboard.
Correct this by performing an orientation procedure. Information on orienting your board is
located in the online Help for the SMART Board interactive whiteboard or the
User's Guide.

Connecting an external computer to the SMART LightRaise projector mount requires only two
simple connections: one to a free serial COM port and one to the monitor port.
You have already connected these cables to the LightRaise mount and have placed them
conveniently on the right side of the console, wrapped around the cable cleats (see page 43).
Both cables extend to a maximum of 15'
(45.7 m).

Activating Your Video Port
Most computers automatically adjust the display when you connect an external video source.
Your image will project onto the SMART Board interactive whiteboard immediately. However,
some external computers don't automatically make this adjustment. You may need to do one
of the following:
•
activate the external video port
•
de-activate the internal video port
•
put the internal and external video ports into simultaneous display mode
You may need to switch between internal and external ports of an older laptop computer using
a Function key. If you aren’t sure which commands or keyboard combinations are required for
switching between the internal and external video ports, consult your laptop owner’s manual.

Servicing the SMART LightRaise Projector Mount
Once it's installed, the SMART LightRaise projector mount doesn't require any servicing.
However, your projector may need occasional servicing. Follow the guidelines in your
projector's owner manual for servicing and bulb replacement. Don't service the projector while
it is powered on. You should unplug the LightRaise console before performing any servicing.
IMPORTANT:
This section of the guide details how to lower the boom for projector removal. Procedures for
removing and remounting your projector depend on what projector is attached to your
LightRaise boom. Read the instructions provided with your projector mounting kit for details
pertaining to your particular projector.
Don't service the projector when it is attached to the boom.
Lowering the Boom
