**** 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

The table shows the distance which is called “x” in the illustration on the left side:

Distance Visualizer to working surface| Distance Visualizer- center to image center
---|---
1,203| 217
1,400| 271
1,600| 324
1,800| 378
2,000| 432
2,200| 485
2,400| 539
Distance Visualizer to working surface| Distance Visualizer- center to image center
---|---
47.4| 8.54
50| 9.29
60| 11.97
70| 14.65
80| 17.33

The following chart shows image size (optical zoom range) in relation to the mounting height:

Calculation program on WolfVision Homepage
A very useful method to calculate the exact positioning and the possible image sizes is a dedicated calculation program on WolfVision’s homepage:

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.

IMPORTANT
Sufficient ventilation is to be provided, otherwise it can result in damage to the equipment.

Installation of WolfVision‘s Ceiling Mount

Mounting the Visualizer on the ceiling using WolfVision’s ceiling mount can be done very quickly and easily

IMPORTANT!
The ceiling mount must be affixed directly to concrete with three steel anchors as illustrated, to ensure a secure mounting and operation of the Visualizer! 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 G 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.

IMPORTANT: Other ceiling contruction requires an appropriate mounting solution.

In order to fix the assembly to the ceiling, please hold the Ceiling Visualizer to the ceiling mount (fig.1), attach it and turn the unit counter- clockwise to the desired position (fig.2). The unit is now installed only temporarily. The installation is not finished yet!

Now, remove the cable cover by pushing it carefully upwards and connect all desired cables to the Visualizer. The cable cover is secured to the Visualizer by a rope to prevent it dropping down. Tighten all three hex nuts at the ceiling to secure the Visualizer (fig.3) (for fine adjustment see next page).
Firmly place the cable cover in position.
