  2. Confirm that all parts and accessories are present

**** Read this document through completely before starting the installation!

Ceiling Preparation

Due to the diverse installation possibilities of our ceiling mounting bracket, WolfVision kindly requires you to mount the appliance only on a concrete ceiling capable of carrying heavy load. Please study the following installation steps carefully. Should you encounter any problems (not covered in the installation instructions), please contact your WolfVision representative for assistance. Take special notice regarding the weight of the Ceiling Visualizer and the potential for personal injury, as well as the possibility for damage to the Ceiling Visualizer or other objects that may occur if proper mounting precautions are not followed !

**** Failure to follow instructions can lead to severe injury!
To avoid possible injury, ensure that the ceiling construction is able to support five times the required Visualizer weight !

Installation Position

A difference between Ceiling- and “Desktop-“Visualizers is that the size of the smallest and largest image the unit can pick up is not fixed. This depends on how high above the working surface the Visualizer is mounted. It is very important to know which image sizes you would like to pick up with the Ceiling Visualizer before installing the unit, in order to correctly calculate the respective mounting height.
Please refer to the calculation program on WolfVision’s homepage (see page 5).

Distance to image center

Distance to image center

Installation of an Additional Ceiling Mount (third-party)

If the Visualizer needs to be suspended further from the ceiling than with the supplied ceiling mount (in order to allow greater magnification), a standard ceiling mount or ceiling lift for projectors may be used. An adapter plate, suitable for weight and screw fittings for the Visualizer, might be necessary. Designed for Ceiling-mount with VESAstandard (□75)

Fixing the assembly to the ceiling is dependent on the respective construction and desired mounting location. Ensure that the ceiling construction is able to carry a weight of 26kg (58lbs) and that possible collision accidents are prevented.

Important: Please give special attention to the country specific regulations for training and conferencing rooms!

IMPORTANT: Ensure solid mounting and secure connection of all parts to avoid the possibility that the unit detaches itself from the ceiling.

Installation in a Suspended Ceiling or Plenum Box

When the unit is built-in into the ceiling or into a plenum box, the infrared receiver may be covered. If the internal infrared receiver is insufficient, the optional external infrared receiver should be connected to the “IR-SENSOR” port.
Alternatively, the unit can be controlled via LAN.

The Ceiling Visualizer is plenum rated and a plenum box is not necessary. However when the Ceiling Visualizer will be installed in a Plenum box keep enough clearance around to enable mechanical fineadjustment of the Visualizer by moving and rotating.

Height Adjustment
It is only necessary to conduct the Height Adjustment procedure once, unless the distance between the Visualizer and working surface is changed.
For usual installations, WolfVision recommends to use the function “Auto Height Adjustment”. Should the unit be unable to adjust itself (e.g. bright ambient light), please use the “Manual Height Adjustment” instead.
The Height Adjustment procedure can be repeated at any time. Just enter the on-screen menu and select Advanced Settings / Height Adjustment.

Ethernet Settings
The IP-address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP-address can be set automatically by a DHCP-server or manually.

Time Settings
The Visualizer offers the possibility to use the internal clock or an external time server (a time valid time server IPaddress and internet connection are required)

Audio Settings
Set up audio configuration. Line-In is switched off by default and can be activated when desired.

Auto Height Adjustment

Preparation
Center the adjustment chart to the pick-up area and follow the further instructions on-screen.
Once the settings are correct, confirm it to complete the Height Adjustment Function. If the settings are incorrect, re-do the Height Adjustment or perform manual adjustment.

Manual Height Adjustment

Preparation
Center the adjustment chart to the pick-up area.
Follow the further instructions on-screen.
“Step 1: Center the Lightfield”
Center the lightfield until it is roughly in the center of the camera picture. Use the arrow buttons (#25 and #44) to center the lightfield. Confirm the setting by pressing the OK key (#26).
“Step 2: Adjust Camera Focus”
Use the FOCUS keys(#35) until a sharp image is visible. Confirm the setting by pressing the OK key (#26).
“Step 3: Adjust Light Focus”
With the FOCUS key (#35), you can focus the edge of the lightfield that is visible on the working surface until it is sharp. Again, confirm the setting by pressing the OK key (#26).
“Step 4: Center lightfield”
With the arrow buttons you can center the lightfield to pick-up area of the camera. When the lightfield is centered, press the OK key (#26) to complete the setting procedure and exit the Height Adjustment mode.

Dismantling of the Visualizer

Should it be required to dismantle the Ceiling Visualizer due to re-location or after sales service, please follow the drawings below.
