Planning
①Based on screen location and projector specifications, determine proper
position for projector installation.
②Confirm that there is adequate space for installation and operation.
③Arrange to provide service access to the unit.
④Space required above unit is the same with or without Environmental Air
Space Housing.
⑤When installed with Environmental Air Space Housing unit is suitable for
use in an environmental air space in accordance with in accordance with
Section 300.22(C) of the National Electrical Code, and Section 2-128, 12-
010(3) and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1.
⑥ Total capacity of lift is 26 lbs (11.8 kg), including projector and closure panel.
As Soon As Orbiter Arrives
➀Open carton and inspect for damage.
➁Locate the following parts:
A. The unit itself
B. Controls
C. Any optional equipment
➂Test unit before installing.
Hanging Unit
The Orbiter is provided with four (4) mounting points for suspending the unit
from above. The unit should be guy wired or blocked to prevent swinging. All
installations should observe the following guidelines:
➀Installer must ensure that all fasteners and supports are of adequate
strength to securely support Orbiter and projector. It is recommended
that hardware structure be able to hold at least four times the combined
weight of the lift and projector.
➁Fastening methods must be suitable for mounting surface, and securely
anchored so that vibration or abusive pulling on unit will not weaken
installation.
➂Bottom of unit must be unobstructed after installation. Sufficient clearance
must be allowed below projector.
➃Do not use unit to support adjacent ceiling, light fixtures, etc.
➄Do not complete the ceiling below unit until electrical connections have
been completed and unit has been operated successfully.
Electrical Connections
Unit operates on 12V DC.
The Orbiter is shipped closed
Please note: Make sure electrical supply has been disconnected before
attempting to connect Orbiter to electricity.
Orbiter must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the Local
Building Codes, the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), CAN/CSA C22.1 and
the National Electric Code(NEC), NFPA 70. All operating switches should be
“off” before power is connected.
110V or 220V AC for projector must be supplied by others. Orbiter should be
operated and checked prior to installing projector.
Caution
①Read instructions completely before proceeding.
②Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to instructions
invalidates warranty.
③Do not obstruct operation of Orbiter with fingers or any object.
Serious injury or damage could result.
④Entire bottom of unit must be unobstructed to permit proper operation.
⑤Unit operates on 12V DC.
⑥Unit must be installed by qualified personnel.
Note: Unit has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and found
to be operating properly prior to shipment.
Operation
Unit is automatically supplied with a double pole double throw switch. When
unit is first operated, be cautious! If unit fails to operate when the switch is
flipped “down”, return switch to “off” and recheck electrical connections before
proceeding. Cycle unit down and up several times to confirm satisfactory
operation.

Projector Installation
The Orbiter uses a universal projector mount system. The parts kit
contains:
-2 x long arms
-4 x short arms
-4 x M3, 4 x M4, 4 x M5 and 4 x M6 mounting bolts (30mm in length)
-4 spacers (1/2" [12.7], 5/8" [15.875], 3/4" [19.05], 7/8" [22.225 mm])
➀Determine which size mounting bolts suit your projector, and set others
aside. They are no longer required. If your projector has only three
mounting holes, set aside one of the skyhook arms.
➁Assemble the universal mount (see diagram at right) using arms
appropriate to projector. Spread out the arms so each end is over one of
the mounting holes.
➂Connect universal mount to Projector. Fit the 1/2" (12.7 mm) spacer under
the lowest arm, the 5/8" (15.875 mm) under the next arm and so on. If the
projector base is uneven, you may use combinations of spacers and arms
to ensure the triangular plate is horizontal.
➃Do not tighten any bolts yet.
➄Move the position of the triangular plate over the centre of the projector,
with the edge with the two holes towards the front (lens).
➅Tighten the mounting bolts. The projector and universal mount are ready to
be installed to the Orbiter.
➆Open the Orbiter and bolt the triangular projector plate to the underside of
the Orbiter using the supplied ¼" (6.35 mm)-20 bolts and springs. These
bolts will also give you Roll and Tilt adjustment to align your image on the
screen, while the center 5/16" (8 mm) bolt provides Yaw adjustment. The
springs will ensure that the projector is held still during motion. Do not
install the projector plate without springs.
Please Note: Projector can be installed either parallel or perpendicular
to the pivot axis of the Orbiter, as long as projector is small enough.
Extra Adjustment
To adjust the amount of rotation, rotate the multiflip arms to strike the limit
switches for either more or less rotation.
For additional adjustment, you can also bend the arms of the
microswitches.
