Step 1
With an electronic stud finder, locate center of ceiling stud in desired mounting location. Unscrew ceiling plate (E)
from Projector Mounting top plate (A). Use ceiling plate as a template, and mark mounting hole locations. Drill
mounting holes to a depth of 3” using a 3/16” drill bit. Mount ceiling plate to stud with 5/16” lag bolts (J).
Step 2
Determine type of installation.
Standard Ceiling Mount
Press plastic cover (D) into place over ceiling plate. Attach pipe drop assembly (C) to
ceiling plate with three 5/8” hex screws (H).
Note: Orient the cable management port on the pipe drop assembly so that it
faces the projector cable drop.
Extended Ceiling Mount
For installations that require a ceiling drop in excess of 18”, standard 1
½” pipe may be used to extend the standard pipe drop assembly. Pipe
extension should be cut to the required additional length, threaded on
both ends, and then attached to the standard pipe drop assembly with a
pipe coupler (not supplied).
Flush Ceiling Mount
Proceed to step 3.
Note: Plastic cover is not used for flush mount.
Wall Mount
With the addition of the correct model OmniMount 30.0 (sold separately); the PMD
can be mounted to a wall instead of the ceiling. This is particularly useful for small
conference/classrooms where a ceiling mount is impractical. For details, please
contact OmniMount Technical Support for mounting information.
Step 3
Gently pull the extension tube of the pipe drop assembly down to the required
projector height. Rotate extension tube so that adjustment screw holes are visible
through the support tube. (Fig. 1)
Secure the pipe position by installing 5/8” long hex screws (I) into adjustment screw
holes. For a cleaner appearance, insert plastic plugs (K) into unused holes on
extension tube.

Separate top and bottom projector mounting plates
(A&B), by sliding them apart. (Fig. 2) Thread ¼” hex
head set screw (F) into side of pipe collar, on top
projector mounting plate (A). (Fig. 3)
Note: If necessary, screw in tilt knob to gain
access to the set screw hole.
Loosely thread top projector mounting plate (A) onto
threaded portion of pipe drop.
Note: For flush ceiling mount, loosely thread top projector mounting plate directly onto threaded portion of
ceiling plate.
Position top projector mounting plate into desired orientation
(horizontal or vertical), and then tighten set screw (F). (Fig. 4)
Thread cable bundle through cable management port at top of
pipe assembly, down through the pipe assembly, and then out
through the cable management port on the rear of the projector
mounting plate. (Fig. 5) (Standard ceiling mount only) Be sure to
leave enough cable to reach the mounted projector.
Step 4
Determine required mounting screw size (4, 5 or 6 mm) for projector.
Note: Consult projectors owners’ manual for screw sizes and mounting holes.
Lay projector on table with mounting surface face up. Place grid section of bottom projector mounting plate onto top
of projector in desired mounting orientation (horizontal or vertical). (Fig. 6) Using a pencil or felt tipped pen, mark
the locations of the projectors threaded inserts onto the grid for reference. (Fig. 7)
Fig. 6 Fig. 7 Fig. 8
Place a large washer (1) over mounting screw, and then insert screw through grid at marked location. (Fig. 8) Lift the
projector mounting plate and place a second large washer (1) onto the end of the screw, followed by a metal spacer
(2). Loosely thread (2-3 turns) screw assembly into the
chosen threaded insert on the bottom of the projector.
(Fig. 9) Repeat this procedure for the remaining threaded
inserts. (Fig. 10)
Note: A 1” plastic spacer (3) is included for projectors
with uneven mounting surfaces. Trim the plastic spacer to
the required length, and install on appropriate mounting
screw.

Once all mounting screws have been installed, square up the projector mounting plate, and then tighten the
mounting screws securely.
Caution: Do not force or over tighten the mounting screws, or damage to the projector may occur.
Step 5
Slide the bottom projector mounting plate onto the previously installed top projector mounting plate. (Fig. 11)
Important: Always secure projector plates by installing 3/8” screws (G) into holes on front edge of plates.
Additional security can be provided by installing small padlocks through security slots at the rear of the projector
plates. (Fig. 12)
Note: Make sure that the cables don’t get pinched
while sliding the plates together.
Attach cables to the projector. Turn projector ON, and make pitch and keystone adjustments as
per the projector manufacturers instructions. For additional pitch/tilt, use the three adjustment
knobs on top of the PMD mount (Fig. 13).
