Upper Plate Installation
Single Stud
1. Locate the center of the single wooden stud that will be used for the installation.
2. Secure the upper plate to the single stud by using the three #14 wood screws that are supplied with the
PBL Series mount (mount these screws using the three holes that are directly in the middle of the upper
plate).
NOTE: Please use suitable hardware for the surface that will be used, if not using the basic wooden
stud installation.
3. Secure the plate using the center holes on the upper plate. The plate may travel ½” front to back due to
the larger/longer outside mounting holes (Figure 3).
Solid Structure
1. Choose the proper location for your mount. Secure the upper plate to the solid structure by using
the four mounting points (all four corners) found on the ceiling plate.
2. Depending on the installation requirements, suitable hardware must be used (Figure 5and Figure 4).

Troubleshooting Procedures
QUESTION: My projector mount must be set at an angle to be viewed properly on the wall, but the
projector will not hold at this position. Why is this?
ANSWER: The angle adjustments are not tight; they must be tightened.
QUESTION: Why won’t my bracket fit my projector?
ANSWER: There may be several mounting positions for your particular bracket. Try to line up the
holes on the bracket with the mounting points on the projector. If this still does not
solve the problem, then contact Customer Service and advise them of the situation.
