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.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN YOUR MOUNTING SCREWS TO THE PROJECTOR CHASSIS. USING THE
INCORRECT SCREW DEPTH MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR PROJECTOR.
NOTE: The optional M3 flat washers may be used to decrease the screw depth of either the M2.5 x 12mm screws or the M3 x

Attaching the Mount
Unpack the NOVA-EXT Mountand familiarize yourself with the components. Before proceeding, the SpiroLock™ must be separated
(please refer to Disconnecting the SpiroLock™ Assembly, page 11). Please take time before you install the NOVA-EXT to determine
the location of where the NOVA-EXT will be mounted.
1. Locate the mounting points on the bottom of the projector (see arrows above for sample mounting points).
2. Attach the appropriate number of mounting legs to the projector using the corresponding mounting hardware (see Page 3, Selecting the Proper
Mounting Hardware).
3. If the mounting legs need to be leveled, rotate the leveling barrels by hand to level the mounting bracket.
4. To raise the mounting legs, rotate the leveling barrel clockwise. To lower the mounting leg, rotate the leveling barrel counterclockwise.
5. When the desired position is achieved, tighten the mounting screws to the projector.

6. Secure the legs to the projector plate by screwing M6 x 12mm security screws into the M6 square nut (do not overtighten) on the
mounting legs. Tighten all security screws at this time.
7. Secure the legs to the projector plate by screwing M6 x 12mm security screws into the M6 square nut (do not overtighten) on the
mounting legs.
Single Mounting Point Installation

screw must be used to attach the mount to the projector. Please
refer to the following three steps:
1. Determine where the mounting point is located.
2. Place the projector plate over the mounting point.
3. Insert the ¼-20 x 5/16” security screw.

Ceiling Installation
NOTE: During shipment, the NOVA-EXT comes assembled. Please refer to Page 11, “Disconnecting the SpiroLock™
Assembly” for instructions as to how the SpiroLock™ is disassembled.
NOTE:Use a 1/8” drill bit to pre-drill the mounting holes before securing the wood screws (supplied).
NOTE:Use a masonry bit to pre-drill the mounting holes in the concrete surface (see Concrete Mounting, page 8).
1. Use two (2) #14 x 2” wood screws (supplied) to attach the ceiling plate to the wooden ceiling stud.
#14 x 2” Wood Screw
Wood studs: Where denoted with
the letter ‘A’, mark these locations
for wood stud installation.
A/B - Where denoted with the
letters ‘A/B’, these locations
specify that either wood screws or
concrete anchors may be used for
installation, depending on the
surface.

NOVA-EXT
Page - 8 - Installation Manual
Concrete Mounting
NOTE: The NOVA-EXT can be mounted to a ceiling with a minimum 6” thickness. Concrete wedge anchors must be used for
concrete installation. It is recommended that ¼” wedge anchors be used. A masonry bit must be used to drill the pilot hole.
These items can be purchased at your local hardware store.
1. Begin by placing the ceiling plate into position against the ceiling, keeping it level.
2. Mark off four holes to be used for securing the mount and place the ceiling plate aside.
3. Next, drill holes using the appropriate masonry bit for your anchor.
4. Insert a concrete anchor into each hole.
5. If necessary, a hammer can be used to lightly tap each anchor into place so that they are flush with the ceiling.
6. Once all of the anchors are in place, move the ceiling plate back into position.
7. Attach the nut onto the threaded shaft that is protruding from the ceiling.
8. Do not tighten until all nuts are in place.
Connecting the SpiroLock™ Assembly
1. Slowly raise the projector toward the upper assembly.

NOVA-EXT
Page - 9 - Installation Manual
2. Push the two units together, until an audible ‘click’ will be heard (see NOTE), signifying that the SpiroLock™ assembly is
together. Before proceeding, ensure that the SpiroLock™ is securely holding the projector.
Adjusting the Projector
To adjust the projector:
1. Firmly grasp the projector in both hands, and slowly tilt either forward or backward, side-to-side to adjust and level.
2. Tighten the M5 security screw using the M5 Allen wrench to keep the image aligned on the screen.
IMPORTANT: 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, do not completely tighten the adjustment locking 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, tighten the adjustment screws on each side using the supplied
M5 Allen wrench.
NOTE: In order for the
NOVA-EXT to connect, the
four (4) notches that are located
inside must be lined up. If they
are aligned properly, an audible
“click” will be heard while the
SpiroLock™ collar engages.

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 personal injury.
Plastic Cap Installation
1. After all positioning has been determined, check and make sure that all hardware is secure.
2. Place a plastic cap over each leveling barrel and firmly push the plastic cap into place.
