Physical Mounting Instructions

Physical and electrical installation of the TransVision™ must be performed only by a trained professional who is knowledgeable about both the specifics of the TransVision™ and the requirements of the local building and electrical codes in your state.
Physical installation of the TransVision™ may be divided into three steps:

1. Pre-installation planning, which includes plotting the projector-to-screen distance. This requires knowledge of the screen size and placement. From this step you will determine where the projector is located.
2. Location of the installation position and preparation, including drilling holes and assembling the mounting hardware.
3. Installation of the ceiling mount bracket and placing the projector in the mount.
   Once the physical installation is complete, the unit should be properly adjusted for focus using the lens, for positioning using the physical adjustments made possible by the mounting hardware and for size and centering using the electronic adjustments in the menu control system.

PRE-INSTALLATION PLANNING

• Before starting the installation you will need to calculate the projector to screen distance and the ceiling to picture-start offset. The throw distance and the precise center of the screen are then used to determine the exact location for the physical installation of the projector.

Throw Distance Calculation

• The TransVision’s™ zoom lens allows for a wide range of throw distance options – the distance from the projector to the screen.
• For maximum flexibility in adjustment we recommend that, where possible, the projector be installed in the middle range of the possible distances.
• However, the unit may be installed at any point within the allowable range.
• To obtain the minimum throw distance, multiply the screen width by 1.4.
• To obtain the maximum throw distance, multiply the screen width by 2.2.

Screen Offset

• The screen offset is the distance between the top of the picture area of the screen and the ceiling. This distance is important and it should be calculated before the screen is installed to ensure proper positioning of the projector in relation to the screen. Incorrect screen offset may cause image keystone distortion and cannot be compensated either with the mounting system or electronically.
• Screen offset will vary according to the aspect ratio of the screen and the screen width.
• For screens with a 4:3 aspect ratio, the offset is within a range of approximately six to eight inches.
• For screens with a 16:9 or 15:9 aspect ratio, the minimum offset is six to eight inches and may be increased using the “V.Position” setting option in the Screen Setup menu.
• The maximum screen offset for wide aspect ratio screens may be calculated using the following formulas:
• For 16:9 screens, multiply the screen width by 0.19 + 6”
• For 15:9 screens, multiply the screen width by 0.15 + 6”
• Note that the mounting system enables you to make small adjustments to the vertical tilt without introducing visible keystone distortion.
• For floor-mounted installations, the picture offset is the distance between the mounting surface of the projector and the bottom of the picture. In order to deliver pictures that are free of keystone distortion, be certain to calculate the offset distance before ordering screens and/or cabinetry.
• Although some adjustment range is available in floor-mounted systems by using the adjustable feet, it is always better to use the least amount of mechanical adjustment necessary.

Ceiling Mount Preparation

• Once the throw distance has been calculated and the screen installed, the next step in the installation is to locate the precise mounting position of the projector.
• IMPORTANT NOTE: Before proceeding further with the installation, make certain that video signal/control wiring and AC power have been run to the projector location. Keep in mind that the connections to the projector are at the front of the unit, so you should place them slightly to the front and right or left of the “A” point established above.
• Also note: that the ceiling must be capable of safely supporting the weight of the projector and mount, which is in excess of 25 pounds.

CEILING MOUNT INSTALLATION AND PROJECTOR MOUNTING

• The ceiling mount kit consist of thee parts. Before beginning the installation process, first identify each of the three parts of the mounting system as shown in the diagrams below.
• Mount the part “A” to the ceiling, making certain that the “FRONT” marking facing the screen.
• Place Part B inside Part A and then secure the two pieces together using the four hex head screws provided, making certain that the “FRONT” marking facing the screen.
• Place two center screws on both, left and right sides of the part “B” and insert them only half way.
• Turn the projector upside down and remove the four feet attached to the projector.
• Place Part C mounting bracket over the bottom of the projector, with the “FRONT” marking facing toward the lens.
• Replace the projector feet through the holes in the Part C mounting bracket and hand tighten them until they are secure against the plate and so that there is no slippage between the mounting plate and the projector.
• Raise the Part C/Projector assembly and hang from part ”B” by sliding two center side screws on part “B” into the “L” shaped groove at the outer edges of the Part “C” mounting bracket. Secure the two assemblies together using the HEX screws on the left and right sides of the projector.
• The projector is now suspended from the ceiling mount bracket.
• Connect the AC Power Cord to the projector and connect it to an unswitched AC outlet. Connect the projector to the TransVision Controller using the five-coax connections previously provided.
• When the projector is floor mounted, the use of the mounting hardware is not required. However, you will need to calculate the throw distance and screen offset as shown in the previous section.
• For floor mount installations remember to calculate the offset from the bottom of the picture to the floor. If the projector is mounted inside a cabinet and NOT placed directly on the floor, the offset is the distance between the bottom of the projector’s feet and the bottom of the picture.
• When the unit is floor mounted, a 1” rubber tube must be attached to the bottom of the projector in order to block hot air circulation inside the unit.
• Attach the supplied rubber tube near the “out” vent on the right side of the projector so that exhaust air is properly channeled out of the unit and away from the floor.
• When the unit is mounted inside a cabinet, be certain that an exhaust vent is provided so that the hot air generated by the projector may be safely removed from the cabinet.
• Before completing the installation, double check all screws, mounting hardware and the projector feet to make certain that they are securely tightened so that no further movement of the projector/mounting assembly is possible.
• After the physical mounting is complete, horizontal and vertical adjustments are made to center and align the projected image to the screen. The white field pattern, as described in Screen Set-Up menu section, is used to make the three dimensional adjustments.
• Before these dimensional adjustments can be made, you must:
• Turn system on.
• Adjust the zoom and focus.
• Once on screen menus can be clearly viewed, go to Screen Set-Up menu.
• Select the proper screen aspect ratio.
• Make the following horizontal and vertical adjustments to align the white field pattern to the screen:
• To move image left to right, loosen all four feet to rotate the projector. Once desired position is obtained, tighten all four feet.
• To move image up and down, loosen hex screws on the left and right side of ceiling mount and tilt projector. Once desired position is obtained, refasten all four hex screws.
• To align image parallel to the screen, loosen hex screws on the front and rear of the ceiling mount and level the projector. Once image is aligned, refasten all four hex screws.
