5. Fitting the projectors in the frame
Step 1: Place the projector upside down on a suitable flat surface then remove the lens
(if it is pre-installed). For easier access you may first remove the upper ring before mounting
the projector. Please refer to chapter “6. Removing the Upper Ring - Installation Version”.
Otherwise it is recommended to place an appropriate material underneath the projector so
that it is lifted up for about 10 cm. This will help during the following process.
Step 2: Position the frame over the projector so that the adjustment screw is at the back,
aligning the M6 screw holes. Please put the projector in the right position so that the
front/back position is correct when installing. Otherweise the position of the holes will not
match.

Step 3: Place the recommended number of Ø6 Schnorr Washers (2) over each
corresponding hole. Secure the recommended number of M6x20 ISO 7380 screws (1) into
each hole with 4 Nm torque. Ensure each screw runs through the plate and catches into the
corresponding M6 hole in the projector surface. Please make sure to use only the
correspondent screw holes when installing a projector!
Do not forget to use the Ø6 Schnorr Washers (2) as they are preventing the screws to loose
themselves!
In case you removed the upper ring during Step 1 please now refer to chapter
“7. Reinstalling the Upper Ring” and attach the upper ring back to the base.
Step 4: The lens can be attached back to the projector.
