Introduction
Ceiling Plate Assembly
 Place the lower adapter plate with the threaded studs
facing up through the adjustable slide slots of the
main ceiling plate.
The threaded studs will align with the adjustable
slide on the main ceiling plate.
® Once the two pieces are together, align the mounting
holes on the upper adapter plate with the threaded
studs of the lower adapter plate.
¯ Place the three units together and loosely attach four
(4) ¼”-20 wing nuts onto the threaded studs (see
inset below).

Make sure the camera supports one (1) 1/4”-20
screw.
 Determine which screw hole on the upper adapter
plate you will use to attach the camera.
® Insert one (1) 1/4”-20 x 2 3/4” pan Phillips head screw
through one (1) wing nut and the desired screw hole.
The screw should go through both the upper and
lower adapter plates. It will later be used to mount
the camera (see page 11).

 Pre-set four (4) M5 x 16mm combo screws on the
ceiling plate assembly (two on each end of the plate).
The M5 x 16 mm screws may be attached on the
inner or outer lip of the main ceiling plate.
® Determine the ceiling tile you will use to attach the
ceiling adapter.
¯ Use a pencil to measure and mark 3˝ from each
edge of the t-bar frames to the inside of the tile (see
diagram).
° Determine the mounting hole position inside the
marked square of the tile and mark it with a pencil.
If you are attaching a camera, mark an additional
hole for the 1/4”-20 screw next to the mounting
coupler.
± Remove any of the 24˝ x 24˝ or 24˝ x 48˝ tiles that are
surrounding the marked tile.
² Cut the mounting hole (and camera screw hole).
³ Place the ceiling plate on the t-bar rails so that the
mounting coupler can slide to align with the ceiling
mounting hole.

You may secure the SpiroLock™ mount to a single ceiling stud; a solid surface ceiling, such as concrete; a 1-1/2” NPT
pipe; or a Premier Mounts ceiling adapter.
See the Premier Mounts Website at www.mounts.com for compatible ceiling adapters.
Read these installation instructions thoroughly before attempting to install the Premier Mounts product.
Familiarize yourself with the contents of the package and make sure you have all the parts and tools you need to
safely complete the installation.
Installing the SpiroLock™
How are you installing the SpiroLock™?
If you are using a wood stud, proceed to “Wood
Stud Installation” on page 6.
If you are using a solid surface, such as a concrete
ceiling, proceed to “Solid Ceiling Installation” on
page 8.
If you are using a 1-1/2” NPT pipe or Premier
Mounts ceiling adapter, proceed to “Attaching to a

Step 2
 Use an electronic stud nder to locate a ceiling stud
closest to your desired installation location.
® Identify the center of the ceiling stud.
¯ Use a pencil to mark the location of the ceiling stud
center.
The target arrow indicates the direction of the
projector screen relative to the projector mount.
Stud
Center
 Remove the SpiroLock™ Ceiling Plate and set it
aside.
® Drill a pilot hole in the center of each mark using a
hand held drill and a 1/8˝ drill bit.
 Place the SpiroLock™ Ceiling Plate against the
ceiling. Its mounting holes should align with the center
of the ceiling stud.
® Use a pencil and mark two (2) mounting hole
locations through each of the mounting points (A) in
the SpiroLock™ Ceiling Plate.
Step 3
Pilot Holes
When a screw is driven into a material, such
as wood, it can act as a wedge, generating
outward pressure which can cause many
materials to split. Drilling a small pilot hole
where the screw will be driven causes less
‘wedging’ to take place, thereby reducing the
likelihood of the material being split. It also
reduces the possibility of the screw head
getting sheared off by torque.

Introduction
You can mount the SpiroLock™ projector mount to any solid surface ceiling which has a minimum 6˝ thickness.
For concrete installation use concrete wedge anchors (¼˝ recommended) to secure the mounting hardware and
a masonry drill bit to drill the pilot holes. Wedge anchors and masonry drill bits are not supplied, but you can
purchase them at your local hardware store.
