Installation Overview

Please read these instructions carefully before you install your projector wall mount.

Use this guide to assemble and install the projector wall mount for SMART Board™ interactive
whiteboards, which is a projector mount for your SMART Board interactive whiteboard (models
660 or 680) and an NEC WT600 or WT610 projector (purchased separately). The SMART Board
660 interactive whiteboard is 64" (162.6 cm) measured diagonally, and the 680 measures 77"
(195.6 cm). PMWT-660, PMWT-680

WARNING

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT

You can use this guide if you’re installing the projector wall mount on a standard drywall, concrete
or cinder block wall. If you have any other material cladding your wall (such as brick and masonry),
consult professionals with the appropriate expertise.

The 660 weighs approximately 51 1/2 lb. (23.4 kg) when combined with the projector mount and
projector. The 680, when combined with the projector mount and the projector, weighs
approximately 53 1/2 lb. (24.3 kg). Before installing, make sure the wall can support such weight.

The projector wall mount works only with an NEC WT600 or WT610 projector. Any
other weight hung from the projector support may cause the support to bend or
break, which can injure anyone beneath it.

If you’re installing the projector mount for a 660, the ceiling should be at least 8'4"
(2.54 m) high. If you’re installing the projector mount for a 680, the ceiling should
be at least 9'1" (2.76 m) high. If the ceiling doesn’t meet these requirements, the
interactive whiteboard’s pen tray will be below the recommended height.

Don’t install the interactive whiteboard on an unsupported wall, because the mount
may vibrate and interfere with the interactive whiteboard’s orientation when you
write on the screen.

A qualified service technician and an assistant should install the projector mount. For example:

• your SMART reseller

• a SMART technical support staff member

• a qualified member of your staff who’s familiar with the structure of the room and the
procedures for mounting objects on the particular type of wall (e.g., drywall, concrete or cinder
block)

PMWT-660/680 Installation Guide 1

Other Precautions

For operating safety and to avoid damage, read this guide carefully before setting up and using the
projector mount. Observe the following precautions:

• Adding more weight or applying an unexpected force to the projector support may cause it to
break and possibly cause injury.

• Do not hang anything from the support or hit or jostle it in any way.

• If you require replacement parts, the service technician must use replacement parts that are
specified by SMART Technologies or SMART-approved parts with the same characteristics as
the original.

NOTE: If you’re installing a new SMART Board interactive whiteboard at the same time as the
projector mount, unpack the interactive whiteboard and its accessories, and check the contents
against the list included in the SMART Board Setup Instructions. However, don’t attach the
interactive whiteboard’s wall mount bracket to the wall as described in the interactive whiteboard’s
installation instructions. You will instead attach the wall mount bracket to the assembled projector
mount, as described on page 11.

WARNING

2 PMWT-660/680 Installation Guide

To avoid equipment damage or injury, you’ll need an assistant for portions of this
installation.

To install the projector wall mount, you must complete the following tasks:

1. Find a suitable location for the projector wall mount (page 4).

2. Install the wall mounting hardware (pages 4 and 5).

3. Assemble and mount the projector support (page 7).

4. Attach the projector plate to the projector (page 11).

5. Attach the projector to the projector support (page 12).

6. Hang the interactive whiteboard (page 13).

7. Route the projector cables (page 15).

8. Adjust the projected image on the interactive whiteboard (page 16).

If you’re installing the projector mount above an existing SMART Board interactive whiteboard, you
must first remove the interactive whiteboard. Follow the instructions in this guide to install the
projector mount and reinstall the SMART Board interactive whiteboard.

To remove an existing SMART Board interactive whiteboard

1. Disconnect the SMART Board interactive whiteboard from the computer.

2. Remove the pens and eraser from the pen tray.

3. Detach the MOD6 connector from port 1 at the bottom-right of the pen tray, and free the cable
from the cable management channel.

4. Unlock the pen tray from its support brackets by gently pulling down on the tab locks.

PMWT-660/680 Installation Guide 3

5. Slide the pen tray off its support brackets, and set it aside in a safe location.

6. Use a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws that secure the pen tray brackets to
the wall. Set the screws aside, as you will reinsert them after you attach the interactive
whiteboard to the projector mount.

7. Carefully remove the interactive whiteboard from the wall, and rest it on the two pen tray
brackets, where it won’t be damaged.

CAUTION

8. Use the same screwdriver to remove the five screws that secure the wall mount bracket to the
wall.

9. Set the wall mount bracket aside. You will later attach the bracket to the projector mount, as
described on page 11.

10. Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, carefully remove the seven wall anchors from the wall.
Save at least two of the anchors, as you’ll reuse them to secure the interactive whiteboard to
the wall, as described on page 14.

Make sure the interactive whiteboard remains upright, resting on the pen tray
brackets. These brackets are designed to sustain the weight of the interactive
whiteboard. Do not rest the interactive whiteboard on its sides or the top. This
could damage the product.

Finding a Suitable Location for the Projector Wall Mount

It’s important that you find a suitable location for the projector wall mount. If you center the
projector mount on a wall stud, you can install a wall outlet behind the projector mount that’s
accessible through the large hole in the wall mount bracket. You could then use this outlet to run
the projector power, video and network cables up through the wall and to the outlet, resulting in a
tidier installation.

4 PMWT-660/680 Installation Guide

In the absence of such an outlet, you must route the projector cables through the projector mount
and behind the interactive whiteboard, as described on page 16.

IMPORTANT

If you’re installing the projector mount for a 660, the ceiling should be at least 8'4"
(2.54 m) high. If you’re installing the projector mount for a 680, the ceiling should
be at least 9'1" (2.76 m) high. If the ceiling doesn’t meet these requirements, the
interactive whiteboard’s pen tray will be below the recommended height. The
projector mount extends approximately 30" (76.2 cm) from the wall, and the room
need only be wide enough to accommodate the interactive whiteboard.

Installing the Wall Mounting Hardware in Drywall

1. Using the provided template, mark the anchor hole locations with a pencil. Use a four-foot
level to verify that the template is level.

If you would like to install the interactive whiteboard at the recommended installation height,
make sure the lowest anchor holes are at least:

– 72 3/4" (184.8 cm) from the floor, if you’re installing a 660

– 80 3/4" (205.1 cm) from the floor, if you’re installing a 680

If the room’s ceiling is lower than recommended (see the Important Note above), you must
measure down from the ceiling rather than up from the floor. This guarantees that there’s
enough clearance between the projector mount and the ceiling. Make sure the highest anchor
holes are at least:

– 4" (10.2 cm) from the ceiling, if you’re installing a 660

– 5" (12.7 cm) from the ceiling, if you’re installing a 680

2. Using an electric drill with a 1/2" bit, drill holes in the drywall at the six anchor hole locations
that you marked in the previous step.

3. Prepare a supplied toggle wall anchor by sliding one of the plastic ends back to make the
metal end lie flat.

4. Insert the toggle wall anchor into one of the drilled holes. The metal end straightens against
the inside of the drywall to create an anchor.

5. Slide the plastic cap into the hole, flush with the drywall, and bend the plastic handles up and
down to break them off.
