Projector Preparation
CAUTION: THE PROJECTOR IS FRAGILE; HANDLE WITH CARE AT ALL TIMES.
NOTE: Review the projector manufacturers operation manual and refer to the ceiling mount installation
section. Important information concerning the installation dimensions (i.e. distance from the
screen to the lens of the projector, top of the lens placement to the top screen, etc.) will be found
in this section. Adherence to these instructions will simplify the installation and enhance the
quality of the final screen image.
1. Carefully invert the projector and place it on a smooth, flat surface.
2. Identify the number of mounting points and screw thread size. Most projectors have either three of
four mounting points and are M4, M5 or M6 in thread size (Figure 1).

3. Separate the upper assembly from the projector mounting bracket by slightly loosening the two
tension knurl knobs to create free play between the bracket tri-lock assembly and the upper section
tri-lock assembly points (Figure 2A and Figure 2B).
4. Loosen the security screw knurl knob far enough to allow the two parts to be rotated 180° apart and
separate (Figure 2C).

Bracket Installation
NOTE: The two-piece mounting kegs are designed to allow for the positioning of each leg around
projector air vents located on the base of the projector. Where applicable, each leg mount may
be shortened by removing the locking screw. This will allow for a better bracket fit, overall.
NOTE: For easier installation, the mounting legs should be first mounted to the projector. Each leg
should then be adjusted so that they can mount to the Universal Mount (Figure 3).
1. Locate the mounting points on the bottom of the projector and use the appropriate number of
mounting legs.
2. Select the mounting hardware that the projector requires and loosely install the universal mount on
the projector.

In the event that your projector should require M3 hardware, please follow these
instructions:
1. Thread the leveling barrel into the hole on the mounting arm.
2. Place the M3 flat washer into the leveling barrel hole.
3. Use the M3 x 16mm Phillips Head screws to attach the leveling barrel to the

Leveling the Mounting Bracket
CAUTION: Secure but do not over tighten the mounting hardware. Failure to do so will result in
damaging the threads in the projector.
1. Rotate the leveling barrels to level the mounting bracket.
2. Position the mounting bracket so that it avoids most, if not all, ventilation points (including lamp and
filter access doors).
3. When the desired position is achieved, tighten the mounting screws to the projector and then tighten
the hex head leg screws with the M5 Allen wrench (Figure 4).

Securing the Upper Assembly Ceiling Plate
Review your projector’s owner’s manual to determine what distance is recommended from the front of the
lens to the edge of the screen for best picture ratio.
NOTE: However in most home theater and office ceiling mount installations this is not practical as the
projector would be to low within the room. At a minimum you should at least locate the inverted
projectors top of the lens point to a point centered horizontally on the screen and no higher then
the top image edge of the screen).
Most projector manufacturers prefer to have the center of the projector lens centered of the top of the screen
when the projector is inverted for ceiling mounting. It is normally better to have the top edge of the lens as
close to parallel with the top image edge of the screen as well. Before you mount your screen and projector,
make sure the mounting location will safely support the weight of the projector.
NOTE: Make sure to measure from the center of the mounting bracket to the front edge of the lens
to determine the proper placement of the center of the upper assembly.
1. Secure the ceiling assembly into a solid wood ceiling stud with the two (2) #14 x 2” wood screws
(supplied) or with other (commercially available) hardware depending on your installation environment
(Figure 5).

Securing the Projector to the Upper Assembly
1. Make sure the three-knurl knobs are loosened to fully expose to the “tri-lock” mounting plate in the
base of the upper assembly.
2. Carefully lift the projector and insert the mounting bracket mating special tri-lock cutout into the
mating portion of the upper assembly.
3. Once inserted rotate the projector and mounting bracket 180° and secure the rear safety knob first to
prevent further rotation of the bracket in the upper assembly.
4. Tighten the remaining two tension knurl knobs until the mount becomes rigid. The safety knob
should line up with the alignment slot on the mounting bracket.

Final Adjustments
1. With the projector secured in the mount and power on and signal supplied to the projector you can
now proceed with the final height, tilt, roll and yaw to optimize the projected image.
Figure 7. Final Adjustments
A
The height can be adjusted by rotatin
g
the PBC clockwise (higher) / counter-
clockwise (lower). Once the height is
achieved, tighten the locking set screw
using the supplied Allen Wrench.
B
To adjust the tilt angle of the projector,
slightly loosen the side M8 screws and tilt
to the desired angle and firmly tighten the
two M8 adjustment screws.
C
If roll adjustment is needed to square the
images on the screen, slightly loosen the
front and rear M8 screws and adjust to
the desired angle. Then firmly tighten the
two M8 adjustment screws.

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.
