Step 2 : Attaching the side

anchors to the ceiling plate

Step 1

Before starting, lay out all parts to your mount and match them to
the parts list provided. Verify that you have all your parts before
attempting to assemble the mount.

Step 2

First determine which of the three mounting locations you are go­ing to mount your ceiling mount to the ceiling plate (#1) (center,

1

corner or side). Once you have decided your mounting location
attach two of the side anchors (#2) to the L brackets on the ceil-

2

ing tray at are next to the mounting location using the shorter M6
screws (#22). Attach the remaining side anchors (#2) in the cor­ners of the ceiling plate (#1) towards the inside of the plate.

Step 3

Attach the pipe couple (#25) to the mounting location on the ceil­ing plate (#1) desired using the M6 hex nuts (#26). Cover the re-

1

maining open holes using the cover plates (#27) and remaining
M6 hex nuts (#26).

Step 3: Attaching the pipe couple

to the ceiling plate

Step 4: Threading pipe into the

pipe couple

Step 5: Attaching the adaptor

plate to the ceiling mast

If you are using 1.5” NPT or the near ush pipe:

Step 4

Thread the 1.5” NPT pipe or near ush pipe (#6) into the bottom

of the pipe couple (#25). Secure the pipe by tightening a brake
screw (#20) into the pipe couple (#25) until the brake screw is tight

20

25

25

6

against the threaded pipe. Proceed to step 7.

If you are using a non 1.5” NPT VMP ceiling mast:

Step 5

Nest the top half of the ceiling mast in the adaptor plate (#19). At­tach the adaptor plate (#19) and the ceiling mast using the M8
screws (#28) and hex nuts (#29).

Step 6

Screw the adaptor plate (#19)

19

into the top of the pipe couple

25

(#25). Secure the adaptor

plate by tightening a brake
screw (#20) into the pipe cou­ple (#25) until the brake screw

20

25

is tight against the adaptor
plate. Follow steps 7 and 8 and

then proceed to step 11.

Step 6: Attaching the adaptor

plate to the pipe couple

Step 7: Guide wiring the

ceiling plate

Step 8: Attaching the frame

clamps to the side anchors

Step 7

Place the ceiling plate (#1) in the suspended ceiling T-Bars. Using the
tie wire (#7) provided, rst guide wire the two side anchors to a sup-

7

1

port structure above the ceiling. To guide wire, insert a turnbuckle

3

(#3) into the top hole of the side anchor (#2) if using the turnbuckle.

Pass the tie wire (#7) through the eye of the turnbuckle (#3) or the
top hole of the side anchor (#2) and wrap the end of the tie wire

7

2

at least 4 times around itself. Take the other end of the tie wire (#7)

2

3

7

and pass it through an anchor point in the ceiling above the ceiling
plate (#1) again wrapping the free end at least 4 times around itself.
If wooden joists are above your ceiling, eye screws (#5) are included

1

5

to provide anchor points to guide wire to. If anchoring to a concrete
ceiling, concrete anchors (#6) are included to provide anchor points

6

to guide wire to. Metal truss may also provide an anchor point to
guide wire to as well. Make sure the guide wire is supporting the en-

tire weight of the SCM-2, mount and audio/visual equipment. Note:
If mounting to the corner or side you may want to tension the side
anchors higher on the side or corner that the weight is going to be on.
Note: If the distance between the ceiling grid and wherever you’re
attaching the tie wires is longer than 3 feet then you will require more
tie wire (12 gauge steel tie wire). WARNING: Verify whatever support

structure you are anchor your guide wire to can support a minimum

of twice the combined weight of the SCM-2, mount and audio/visual

equipment you are mounting to it. If drilling through a surface verify

that the mounting surface is safe to drill through. If in doubt or uncer-

tain about any of the above, please contact a professional installer.

Step 9: Attaching female pipe

couple to the mount

Step 8

Attach the frame clamps (#24) to the side anchors (#2) located
in the corners of the ceiling plate (#1) using the longer M6 screw

23

(#23). Make sure the frame clamps (#24) are tight against the

24

1

24

T-Bar suspended ceiling frame which the ceiling plate (#1) sits in.

If you are using 1.5” NPT or the near ush pipe (continued):

Step 9

Determine if the mount you are attaching to requires a 1.5” NPT
adaptor. If it does not then you may skip this step. If you are
mounting to the LCD-2537C, PM-1, PM-2 or PM-3 attach the fe­male pipe couple assembly (#8, #9 and #20) using the large
washers (#10), 5/8” screw (#13), lock washer (#12) and hex nuts

(#14). If you are mounting to the LCD-1C, LCD-1C with LCD-CM2

or VMP-046/048 attach the female pipe couple assembly (#8, #9
and #20) using the plastic bushing (#18), smaller washer (#11),
M12 screw (#15), lock washer (#16) and hex nuts (#17).

Step 10

Screw the female pipe couple (#8 or the pipe couple provided

with your mount) onto the near ush pipe (#6) or 1.5” NPT pipe. Se-

cure the female pipe couple (#8 or the pipe couple provided with
your mount) by tightening the brake screw (#20 or the brake screw

provided with your mount) until the brake screw is tight against the
threaded pipe. Please verify that all nuts and screws are securely

tightened.

Step 10: Securing the female

pipe couple to the pipe

Step 11: Pinning the ceiling

mast together

If you are using a non 1.5” NPT VMP ceiling mast (continued):

Step 11

Attach the mount by through pinning the bottom have of the ceiling
mast to the top half of the ceiling mast using the screw and nylon nut
provided with your mount. Please verify that all nuts and screws are

securely tightened.

Enjoy Your Mount!
