INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SLB-U
UNIVERSAL SLB
The Universal Smart Lift Bracket™ (SLB-U) provides a
solution for simplifying inventory of RPA series mounts
and SLB-U projector brackets.
The SLB-U allows for exact alignment with the
projector. The projector can be shifted around on the
mounting plate until its weight is centered and balanced.
The SLB-U is equipped with adjustable legs and feet,
which can be moved to any angle, depending on the
mounting-hole pattern on the projector. Leg and foot
length, width, and height can readily be adjusted.
The SLB-U is shipped with All-Points™ Security
System hardware, which is designed to protect projectors
from theft. Chief Manufacturing provides the security kit
exclusively.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1 (Optional)
Measuring the Mounting Hole
Dimensions On the Projector
To minimize error, perform the following steps to
measure the approximate width and length between the
mounting holes on your projector.
1. Determine the width and length between the
mounting holes on your projector. If necessary, use a
tape measure.
a. If your projector is equipped with four mounting
holes, measure the width and length between the
mounting holes (see Figure 5.
b. If your projector is equipped with three mounting
holes, measure the width and length between the
mounting holes (see Figure 6).
2. Record the dimensions taken in step 1 for later use in
the next procedure.

STEP 2
Adjusting the Legs on SLB-U
The mounting holes on projectors are supplied in a
variety of different patterns. There is no standard
mounting-hole configuration pattern for projectors.
The SLB-U will generally accommodate the mounting-
hole pattern on most projectors, providing that the SLB-U
adjustable legs can be configured to match the mounting
holes on your projector.
Due to the number of configurations that the SLB-U can
accommodate, this instruction guide only provides
guidance for the three most commonly used SLB-U
configurations on projectors. Select the applicable
procedure to mount the SLB-U on your projector:
• Step 2 (Option A). Align the SLB-U on a projector
with 4 mounting holes.
• Step 2 (Option B). Align the SLB-U on a projector
with 3 mounting holes.
• Step 2 (Option C). Align the SLB-U on a projector
using horizontal slot and 3 mounting holes.
• Step 2 (Option D). Align the SLB-U on a projector
using direct mounting option.
STEP 2 (OPTION A)

with 4 Mounting Holes
Align the SLB-U on the projector, as follows:
1. Locate the four mounting holes on your projector.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the four screws.
Do not remove the screws.
NOTE: If necessary, use the measurements that you
recorded when you completed Step 1,
“Measuring the Mounting Holes On Projector” to
help align the adjustable legs with the mounting-
hole pattern on the projector.
3. Align the SLB-U on projector, as follows:
a. Place the SLB-U (10) on your projector.
b. Adjust the legs on the SLB-U (10) as needed.
