Precautions
ATTENTION: Please read all of these instructions before you operate your
Flipper for the first time. Save these instructions for further reference.
For your own protection and prolonged operation of your flipper, be sure to read
the following precautions carefully before use.
On Safety
Check that the operating voltage of
your unit is identical with the voltage
of your local power supply. If voltage
adaptation is required, consult with
qualified an electrician.
Should liquid or solid objects fall into
the unit, unplug and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it
further.
To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the
plug. Never pull the cord itself.
The power supply should be near the
unit and easily accessible.
The unit is not disconnected from
the AC power source as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the
unit has been turned off.
Do not place your hand or other objects
near the trapdoor during operation.
The Skyhook Projector Mount must be
used for installation with the Flipper.
On Cleaning
To keep the unit looking new and clean
a dust cover is supplied. If cleaning is
necessary use a soft cloth and mild
detergent solution. Never use strong
solvents, such as thinners, benzene, or
abrasive cleaners.
Never operate the Flipper while the projector is still powered!

Mechanical Installation
The Flipper may be installed through its own hole if required.
The first crucial step, like any projector installation, is to determine where to put
the Flipper in the ceiling. The Flipper should be installed so that the projector
lens is centered horizontally to the screen, and the distance from the screen
depends on the projector’s throw distance.
Work out the maximum and minimum throw distances for the projector and
place the Flipper somewhere in between. It is better for the projector to be
closer to the screen, but don’t place it at an extreme—leave yourself some
room to adjust the zoom in either direction.

Note: when aligning the Flipper
make sure that the projector
lens is centered on the screen,
which is not necessarily the
projector center.

Mechanical
Installation
The Flipper was designed by an installer, with the installer in mind. The face
panel that is supplied is 18mm undercoated MDF, and is easily removed via
6 screws.
We recommend that you remove and paint this panel before fixing the Flipper
in the ceiling.
In the case of a non-plasterboard ceiling, you may choose to fabricate your
own ceiling panel (eg from the same timber/material as the ceiling itself) to
match.
The Ceiling trim we supply will leave a 2mm clearance on all sides of this
face panel.
If you choose not to use this ceiling trim, you should be aware that you will
need to allow more clearance at the front and back of the panel, because the
trajectory traced by the ceiling panel is actually wider than the ceiling trim.
We recommend that the Flipper be installed with this ceiling trim.

2. Ceiling Fastening
The Flipper has been designed to be compatible with just about any
installation situation. These instructions cover general applications, but you
can adapt flipper to suit your specific installation requirement.
The Flipper frame is design to sit 12.5mm above the ceiling—that is, it virtually
rests on the plaster!
The diagrams below show the mounting hole positions relative to the extrenal
dimensions of the flipper.

Ceiling Fastening -Strong ceiling
This should only be attempted for ceilings that are strong
enough to support the weight of the Flipper and projector. Eg,
a timber or MDF ceiling which can support 12kg.
Using spacers appropriate for the ceiling thickness, rest the
Flipper straight on the ceiling, align it with the hole, and screw
it down.
Allow yourself some way to easily adjust the height of the
Flipper once installed, so you can get it exactly flush with the
ceiling. eg. a spacer between the flipper frame and ceiling.

Ceiling Fastening -Trussed ceiling
This is when your ceiling is supported by trusses or beams.
You will need to fabricate a support structure for the Flipper to
rest on in the ceiling—this can be as simple as two appropriately
spaced bearers at the correct height.
Allow yourself some way to adjust the height of the Flipper once
installed, so you can get it exactly flush with the ceiling.
