Step 1: Ceiling Preparation

NOTE:

Study the following information and adapt it as necessary to t your specic installation.

WARNING:

The maximum weight to be installed on the VMPR1 ceiling mount is 50 pounds [22.68 Kg]. Improper installation

may result in serious personal injury. Make sure the structural members can support a redundant weight factor

ve times the total weight of the equipment. If the structure can not support this weight, reinforce the structure

prior to installing the VMPR1.

Determine the position of the mount and its distance from the screen. This will require knowing the lens to screen distance.

This information is normally listed in the projector specications for set-up.

The hardware provided with the VMPR1 is designed to be secured to a wood framing member. For installations other than

this, consult a qualied contractor. Use a high quality Stud Sensor to locate a stud in the area that you plan to mount the

VMPR1 as shown in Diagram 1A. Verify the stud location with an awl or thin nail.

NOTE:

Do not attach the Ceiling Plate (C) at this time.

Flat Ceilings: Align the Ceiling Plate (C) with the two tabs aligned to the screen as shown in Diagram 1B.

Pre-drill a 3 in [76.2 mm] deep hole in the center of the framing member using a 3/16 in drill; then, using the Ceiling Plate

Cathedral or Vaulted Ceilings: Align the Ceiling Plate (C) so that the NPTAdapter (E) is angled to allow the NPT Extension

Pipe (F) to point straight down as shown in Diagram 1C.

Step 2: Attach Universal Projector Interface to Projector

Loosen, but do not remove the Acorn Nuts shown in Diagram 2A.

Place the Universal Projector Interface (A) on the projector, aligning the holes in theAdjustable Feet with the threaded holes

in the projector and with the Threaded Suds in line as shown in Diagram 2A. If there are only three mounting points, remove

one Leg from the Universal projector Interface by removing the Acorn Nut.

uds in line as shown in Diagram 2A. If there are only three mounting points, remove one Leg from the Universal projector

Interface by removing the Acorn Nut.

If necessary, add Extension Arms (B) to the Universal Projector Interface (A) by removing the Adjustable feet and Installing

them on the Extension Arms as shown in Diagram 2B.

Secure the Extension Arms (B) to the Universal Projector Interface, using the M6 x 8 mm (S) screws as shown in

Diagram 2B.

Adjust the Adjustable Feet as shown in Diagram 2C, making sure to allow for proper air ventilation and keeping the Universal

Projector Interface level with the projector. Some Adjustable Feet may need to be at different heights.

NOTE:

If the mounting holes are closer than a ve inch diameter, lower the feet all the way to allow the Threaded Stud

to swing under the Ceiling Plate (C).

Determine the proper screw size and depth, M3 x 10 mm (O), M4 x 12 mm (P), M5 x 12 mm (Q), or M6 x 12 mm (R), and

corresponding Washers (L, M) for projector mounting.

Using correct Screws (O,P,Q,R) and Washers (L,M), secure the back two legs of the Universal Projector Interface (A) to the

projector; then, secure the front legs.

Move the Universal Projector Interface (A) to the center of gravity of the projector. You can locate the center of gravity by

attempting to lift the projector straight up. If it feels like it wants to twist, move the Universal Projector Interface toward the

heavy side. When the projector feels balanced, you have located the center of gravity.
