Thank you for choosing a Kanto universal ceiling projector mount. The P101 and P101W are designed to mount TV

projectors weighing up to 22 lbs (10 kg). This mount kit allows for installations 3” (7.5 cm) from the ceiling, or 9” to 12”

(22.5 to 30cm) using the supplied extension tubes. The P101 and P101W provide a 360° swivel and a 20° tilt.

Read these instructions fully before installation of this mount. If you do not understand these directions, or have any

doubts about the safety of the installation, please consult a qualiﬁed installation contractor to install this mount. Make

sure there are no defective or missing parts. Do not use defective parts. If you are uncertain whether the part is defective

contact Kanto directly at 1-888-848-2643 or [email protected]. Kanto can not be liable for property damage or

injury caused by incorrect mounting, incorrect assembly, lifting or incorrect use of this product.

CAUTION

The maximum loading weight is 22 lbs (10 kg). This projector mount is intended for use up to the maximum

weight restrictions indicated. Use with products heavier than the maximum weights indicated may result in instability

causing possible injury.

CAUTION

The ceiling you plan to afﬁx the Kanto mount to must be able to support more than 4 times the weight of

the projector and the ceiling mount combined. Do not use this product for any purpose other than to mount a

projector on a surface up to 20° from horizontal as outlined in this manual. Improper installation may cause damage

to your projector or serious injury. This product should not be mounted to drop ceilings, cinder block or old concrete

ceilings. Consult a qualiﬁed installation contractor if you are unsure about the type of ceiling you may have.

WARNING

Never over-tighten a bolt into the projector body.

Step 1: Attach Projector to Projector Adapter

Step 1.1 Determine correct bolt size.

Determine the correct bolt size for your projector

mounting holes. We provide a wide selection of bolts

in varying lengths. See parts list Athru L. Hand test the

bolts to ensure you do not damage the projector. See

Diagram A.

Step 1.2 Select necessary spacers.

Determine the correct size spacer (Qthru T) based on

the surface you are mounting to. An uneven mounting

surface can be leveled using the supplied spacers. See

Diagram B.

Step 1.3 Determine mounting arm conﬁguration.

The projector adapter comes pre-assembled with (2)

50mm and (2) 100mm mounting arms. If the projector’s

mounting holes are out of reach of the projector adapter,

use the extension arms (Y) provided (replacing one by

one as required). The ﬂexibility of the mount and the

varying arm lengths will mean there is more than one

solution for ﬁtting the arms to your projector. It is best

to use the shortest arm conﬁguration possible while

maintaining a suitable center of gravity for the projector.

See Diagram C.

Once the appropriate arm conﬁguration has been

selected and assembled the projector adapter should be

mounted on the projector (Diagram C).

Step 1.4 Test the projector Center of Gravity.

Lift the projector assembly by the center of the projector

adapter to test the Center of Gravity, as shown in

Diagram D. If necessary, loosen the extension arms

slightly to adjust position of adapter, and tighten the

bolts when the projector is balanced.

WARNING

Never over-tighten a bolt into the projector body.

Step 2: Attach the Ceiling Plate

The P101/P101W ceiling plate (U) has 6 holes for

mounting options. This plate will mount the projector

within 3” of the ceiling. Secure the ceiling plate with

appropriate hardware ensuring the ceiling plate assembly

can support 4x the total weight of your projector.

Hardware to attach the ceiling mount plate is not included

in this kit due to the many mounting and ceiling variables.

If you are unsure of what hardware is required, please

contact a qualiﬁed installation contractor.

Diagram E

Step 3: Attach the Optional Extension Tubes

If you need your projector suspended 9” to 12” from the

ceiling, attach the two extension tubes included in the

P101/P101W box, referring to Diagram E.

Step 3.1: Assemble Outer Extension Tube (W) to Inner

Extension Tube (X) at the desired length using an M8 x

55mm bolt (N) and locking nut (N) as shown in Diagram E

Step 3.2: Use two Set Screws (P) to ensure the rods are

held ﬁrmly together as shown in Diagram F

Step 3.3: Install the assembled extension to the Ceiling

Plate (U) using an M8 x 55mm Bolt (N) and Locking Nut

(N) as shown in Diagram E.

Step 3.4: Use two Set Screws (P) to ensure the rods are

held ﬁrmly to the Ceiling Plate (U) as shown in Diagram F.

You are now ready to attach the projector and Projector

Adapter to the ceiling plate assembly.

CAUTION

Read this section carefully prior to install.

Step 6: Removing Projector from Ceiling

The Projector Adapter (V) is designed to be easily

removed from the ceiling plate or extension tube for

cleaning, servicing, realignment and tensioning, as

shown in Diagram H.

Remove the two Safety Screws (O) holding the

Projector Adapter to the ceiling plate or extension

tube.

Gently push up on the Projector / Projector Adapter to

disengage the Spring Loaded Locking Tabs.

Turn the projector slightly left or right so the locking

tabs cannot re-engage into the ceiling plate or

extension tube, and pull the projector down to

remove.

WARNING

Support the weight of the projector so it does not fall from your mount.

Step 5: Tilt the Projector

The P101/P101W tilts up to 20°in any direction, by way of a ball joint inside the Projector Adapter (V). Once

the projector is mounted to the ceiling plate, you can adjust the tilt by holding the projector and pushing it in

the direction you need. The tension should be ﬁrm, so that the projector will remain in the position you desire

when you stop applying pressure.

NOTE: The Projector Adapter (V) has a tensioning ring that comes pre-tensioned from the factory. If the ball

joint is too tight to move with reasonable pressure, or too loose to stay in position, you will need to adjust

the tension. Should you ﬁnd your installation requires this ring to be adjusted and re-tensioned, remove the

projector from the ceiling as described in Step 6, and follow the tensioning procedure as described in the

optional Step 7.

Step 4: Attach Projector to Ceiling

The P101/P101W has two spring loaded locking tabs that

allow easy installation to the ceiling plate assembly.

Push the Projector Adapter (V) up into the ceiling plate

or extension tube. The 2 spring loaded locking tabs

will catch in 2 of the 4 square holes in the ceiling plate

or extension tube. Take caution to ensure the Projector

Adapter (V) engages; see Diagram G.

Once you have the Projector Adapter locked into the

ceiling plate or extension tube, install the 2 Safety Screws

(O).

The projector can now be gently twisted left or right, or

tilted +/- 20° to aim at your screen.

Step 7: Adjust the Projector Adapter Tension

Step 7.1 Use the included Wrench (Z) to loosen the locking

nut.

Step 7.2 Rotate the large Plastic Tension Ring to achieve

the desired level of tension. Use the Wrench (Z) if

necessary.

Step 7.3 Tighten the locking nut with Wrench (Z) to ensure

the Plastic Tension Ring cannot loosen.
