Selecting the Proper Mounting Hardware
1. Turn the projector over and locate the mounting points.
2. Test each size of the screws provided.
3. The correct screws should thread easily into the mounting point and not pull out when pressure is applied.

The optional M3 flat washers may be used to decrease the screw depth of either the M2.5 x 8mm screws or the
M3 x 16mm screws.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN YOUR MOUNTING SCREWS TO THE PROJECTOR CHASSIS. USING THE
INCORRECT SCREW DEPTH MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR PROJECTOR.

Safety Locking Tab Operation
The NP30UCM comes equipped with a locking safety tab. When the collar assembly and the mounting plate of the NP30UCM are
engaged, the safety locking tab will prevent the collar from disengaging.
Step 1. Unhook the cable safety clamp from
the mounting plate.
Step 2. Lift the locking tab.
Step 3. Rotate the collar assembly. Step 4. Separate the mounting plate
from the collar assembly.

Please remember to support the projector whenever separating the projector plate from the upper assembly.
Two people are required to perform this step.
Attaching the Mount

Only attach to the projector manufacturer’s specified mounting points on the projector chassis with a
minimum of three mounting legs. Please follow all safety instructions specified by the projector manufacturer
as well as the safety instructions outlined in this manual.

If your projector has only one mounting point, a ¼-20 x
5/16” screw must be used to attach the mount to the
projector. Please refer to the following three steps:
Step 1. Determine where the mounting point is located.
Step 2. Place the projector plate over the mounting point.
Step 3. Insert the ¼-20 x 5/16” security screw.
This screw will use a standard hole when mounting.

Use a 1/8” drill bit to drill into the center of the
stud before securing the supplied wood screws.
The NOVA-EXT must be mounted to a
ceiling with a minimum 6” thickness. Use
concrete wedge anchors for concrete
installation. A masonry bit must be used to
drill the pilot hole.
Step 1. Use two (2) #14 x 2” wood screws (supplied) to attach
the ceiling plate to a wooden ceiling stud. Step 1. Begin by placing the ceiling plate into position against the ceiling, keeping it level.
Step 2. Mark off four holes to be used for securing the mount
and place the ceiling plate aside.
Step 3. Next, drill holes using the appropriate masonry bit for
your anchor.
Step 4. Insert a concrete anchor into each hole.
Step 5. If necessary, a hammer can be used to lightly tap each
anchor into place so that they are flush with the ceiling.
Step 6. Once all of the anchors are in place, move the ceiling
plate back into position.
Step 7. Attach the nut onto the threaded shaft that is protruding
from the ceiling.
Step 8. Do not tighten until all nuts are in place.

Step 1. Slowly raise the projector toward the upper assembly.
Step 2. Align the lower mounting plate with the upper collar
assembly.
Step 3. Once the lower mounting plate engages the upper collar
assembly, the collar will twist and an audible “click” will signify
that the unit is properly attached.
The mounting notch on the lower
mounting plate should line up with the
mounting notch in the inner collar
assembly. Make sure that the unit is securely
attached before releasing.
Step 4. Attach the safety cable clamp after the collar

Step 1. The M4 x 12mm safety screw (located directly beneath
the safety tab) must be tightened securely before
installation is complete. If the M4 x 12mm safety screw is
not properly secured, there will be an increased risk of
attachment failure, which could result in damage to the
projector or injury.
The NP30UCM comes equipped with a pre-installed safety cable.
The safety cable is securely fastened to the upper assembly of the
NP30UCM. When the installation is complete, attach the safety
cable to the projector plate.

Step 1. Firmly grasp the projector in both hands, and slowly tilt
either forward or backward, side-to-side to adjust and
level.
Step 2. Tighten the M5 adjustment screws (located on each side
of the spindle) using the M5 Allen wrench to keep the

Secure all mounting hardware before installing
the plastic cap.
In the event that precision adjustments are needed,
a flat tip screwdriver may be used to make small,
even adjustments. In order to make these
adjustments, completely tighten the M5
adjustment screws at this time. Place the tip of the
screwdriver between the projector plate and the lip
of the spindle and adjust using the screwdriver.
Once the adjustments have been made, re-tighten
the adjustment screws on each side using the
supplied M5 Allen wrench.
Step 1. Place a plastic cap over each leveling barrel and firmly
push the plastic cap into place.
