Installation
IMPORTANT!
1. Make sure the ceiling structure can support the screen’s weight. (31.2 kgs/68.7 lbs).
2. It is strongly recommended to provide a 6” x 12” access panel at the left end of the screen’s case to
access the left side of the screen.
Minimum space requirement
1. If possible, measure the height from the ceiling structure to the bottom of the drywall/sheetrock or the
location of where the screen will be installed. The minimum space required is 7.8” (200 mm).
2. After determining the height (H) of the space where the screen will be installed, deduct 1.18”/30 mm from
that measurement to cut the threaded rod (g) to that length.
Threaded Rod Length = Height –1.18”/ 30 mm.
Hanging Bracket Installation
3. Mark the ceiling for the ceiling hanging brackets (D) according to the measurements obtained by measuring
the Screen Length + 25 mm (0.98”), Fig. 1. Then mark the distance between each ceiling hanging bracket hole,
Fig. 2.
4. Drill your pilot holes and fasten the ceiling hanging brackets (E) to the ceiling using the included expansion
bolts (B)/Lag Bolts (C) or supply your own fasteners rated for other ceiling surfaces.
