Before You Begin For these steps you will need the following: • • • • E-500 Actuation System Integration Cables Audio Video Cables Phillips Bit or Screw Driver Step 1: Connect the Power Cord for the E-500 to an Outlet or Receptacle located above the Installation Bracket. Step 2: Remove the Left Cable Terminal Cover by removing both of the Phillips Screws.
Step 3: Pass all AV, Integration, and Power Cables for Projector and E-500 Lift System through Cable Outlet inside the terminal. Note: If you purchased the lift with the CSI Kit, make sure to manage the cable for Contact Closure or the IR Receiver as well. Step 4: Cinch the cables within the terminal using the Cable Strap. Do not completely fix the cables in place. Slack will be need to manage the cables further in a later step.

Step 8: Locate the Control Panel at the front of the system then, using a 3mm T-Handle or Allen Key, remove both of the Control Panel Screws to lower and expose the Wired Backup Switch. Step 9: Using the Wired Backup Switch, run Crossmember into the DOWN position. Important Note: At this point, if you are using IR or Contact Closure, disconnect Backup Switch and connect IR Receiver or Contact Closure Integration Cable in its place.
Projector Mounting For these steps you will need the following: • • • • • • • • • Step 11: Remove the M8 Nyloc Nut from the Adjustment Bracket then attach the Projector to the Mounting Bracket and center the Mounting Bracket on the Projector. Important Note: Due to the large variety of Projectors, we are unable to provide the hardware required to mount the Projector to the Mounting Bracket. Contact the Projector manufacturer or reference the User Guide for screw sizing.
Step 12: Slide the Adjustment Bracket onto the Mounting Bracket then fasten the two together, using (1) 8mm Nyloc Nut and Flat Washer with a 13mm Crescent Wrench. Note: Ensure the front of the Projector sits behind the locating flange on the Adjustment Bracket before completely fastening the two together.
Step 13: Press and slide the Shoulder Bolts, located on the Top of the Mounting Assembly, in to the Keyed Holes of the Crossmember inside of the Actuation System. Reference the Arrows in the image below for the direction. Important Note: Slowly remove pressure on the Projector to ensure the Mounting Assembly is within the keyed holes. Once the Mounting Assembly is in place, do not bump or move it until the next step is complete.
Step 15: Connect and manage any cables for integration or the projector and feed any excess cable back up and through the Left Cable Terminal. Step 16: Press and slide the Carrier Shroud into the L shaped slots located on the left and right side of the Crossmember then fasten the Carrier Shroud to the Crossmember using (4) 5 x 14mm FHMS Screws, (2) per side. Reference the arrows shown in the images below for direction.

Note: If adjustments are needed, run the system down, remove the Interface Plate then tighten the Fine Adjustment Screws to move the Ceiling Panel UP, and loosen the Fine Adjustment Screws to move the system DOWN. Important Note: You must adjust the Fine Adjustment Screws in a Star Pattern and in Increments.
Projector Adjustment Step: Run the system down to expose the projector. Step 22: Adjust Roll, Pitch, and Yaw for Projector by placing a 3mm T-Handle or 3mm Allen Bit through the slotted holes on the underside of the Carrier Shroud. Note: Roll is to the Right, Pitch is in the Center, and Yaw is to the Left. You may also remove the Carrier Shroud to gain more access to the adjustments.
