Installation Manual

CAUTION: Typical suspended ceilings are not intended to support weight. A suspended ceiling
system will typically require modification in order to support the weight of a video projector in
excess of 2 pounds. If you do not have construction skills, we strongly recommend that you have a
licensed contractor make the modifications required.
Suspended ceiling metal frames are constructed of long un-broken runs of framing called main runners and
short pieces called connectors fitting between long runs to form the grid. It is best to suspend a projector
from the long main runners of framing and not the short connectors. If the best location for the projector is
on a short connector than you will need to add a support wire physically attached to the true ceiling at the
location of the projector.

Projector Mount Installation Guide
STEP 1 - Locate the position where the projector will be
installed and mark the metal frame with a pencil. Then
remove the ceiling tiles on both sides of this location.
STEP 2– Inspect the installation of the support wires
attached to the framing and if there is a support wire within
4 inches of the projector location mark than the addition of
a support wire is not required.
If the closest support wire is more that 4 inches from the
projector location, than it is strongly recommended to add a
new support wire directly over this location. Replicate the
method of connection of the support wire to the ceiling
framing or concrete.
STEP 3 - You can mount the projector with 3 or 4 of the
Projector Mount Spider Bracket legs. With the projector
upside down on a table locate the 3 or 4 mounting screw
threads and locate the screws in the hardware kit that fit
the projector mount thread holes and attach the spider
mount legs with these screws. If none of the screws fit
correctly you will need to visit your hardware store to obtain
the correct screws with at least 1/2 inch length. Adjust the
leg span of Projector Mount Spider by using the long or short
leg extensions and or by relocating the screws on the
extensions
The best alignment may require substituting the longer
extensions in 1 or 2 of the arms. When the Projector Mount
Bracket is correctly aligned the mount head will be near the
center of the projector and the legs of the mount will be near
symmetrical. If the projector will be tilted down, the mount
head should be positioned toward the back of the projector.
Tighten all of the screws on the arms of the projector mount
after the proper position adjustment.
