Overview

Projector Placement

Before installing the Gabor UPM-360, you will need to determine the projector’s placement and identify surrounding ceiling or wall supports for attachment.

1. Measure the width at the top of your projector’s screen, and locate the center. Make a mark above the center point.
2. Find your projector’s throw distance (check your projector’s manual). Use the throw distance measurement, and form a straight line from the mark you made in step 1. This will determine the placement of your projector.
3. To locate the mounting plate’s placement, add the throw distance to the distance between the projector’s lens and the projector mount’s center when attached to the projector. You can easily determine this by placing the projector mount onto the housing of the projector

Wood Studs

Wood studs run vertically inside the wall or across the ceiling, behind the drywall or plaster. The plate must be mounted to a wood stud, or the plate could fall out and damage the projector or cause personal harm. Make sure the studs are at least 1.5 inches (38 mm) wide..

1. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the wooden stud.
2. Mark the centerline of the stud.
3. Place the mounting plate at the location marked for your projector, and mark the spot of the two mounting plate holes for drilling. Make sure this is on the center line of the stud.
4. Use a 3/16-inch (4 mm) wood drill bit to predrill the two marked spots for support holes 2-inches (50 mm) deep, and then clean out the debris.
5. Attach the plate by inserting the 50 mm anchor screws through the washers and mounting plate holes and screwing them into the predrilled support holes until secure.

Concrete

Warning! Make sure anchors are installed into solid concrete that is at least 1.75 inches (44.5 mm) thick. If concrete exhibits cracks or other defects, this may result in failure of the concrete anchors and cause serious personal injury or equipment damage.

1. Place the mounting plate at the location marked for your projector, and mark the spot of the two mounting plate holes for drilling.
2. Use a 5/16-inch (8 mm) concrete drill bit to make holes 2.2-inches (55 mm) deep on the marked spots, and then clean out the debris.
3. Use a hammer to tap the concrete anchors into each hole.
4. Attach the plate by inserting the 50 mm screws through the washers and mounting plate holes and screwing them into the concrete anchors until secure.

Attaching the Projector

1. Determine which screws (M2.5 and M3 (with included washers),M4, M5, or M6) and spacers (3, 4, or 6 mm) to use with your projector.
2. Loosen the projector mount’s arms with a Philips screwdriver. If your projector model has only three holes, then remove the fourth arm with the screwdriver.
3. Slide the arms along their track, and position them over the projector’s mounting holes.
4. Use a Philips screwdriver to secure the mount to the projector, using the screws from step 1.
5. Make sure the weight of the projector is as evenly distributed as possible before tightening the screws of the arms along the track.
6. Hang the projector from the rotating column’s hooks, and tighten the bolts with the included hex wrench to secure the projector into position.

Note: If you have a tall ceiling or need extra space away from a wall when attaching this mount, use a compatible 1.5 NPT extension column (not included). Please refer to the instructions listed in Using a 1.5 NPT Extension Column.
Note: The maximum mounting-hole diagonal length is 12-inches.

Adjusting the Projector

Caution: Make sure to support the projector with one hand while making any adjustments. You can adjust the projector’s position up to ±90° tilt,
±25° roll, and 360° rotation.
Note : When mounting to a slanted ceiling or wall, make sure the rotating column’s hooks are facing upward.

Using a 1.5 NPT Extension Column

You can use a variety of extension columns (sold seperately) with the universal 1.5 NPT connection to extend or suspend your projector from taller ceilings or create adequate space away from a wall.

1. Detach the rotating column from the mounting plate .
2. Attach your extension column to the mounting plate, using a 1.5 NPT coupler (sold separately), and reattach the rotating column to the end of the extension column.
3. Hang the projector from the rotating column’s hooks and tighten the bolts with the included hex wrench.

Using the UPM-360 with Other 1.5 NPT Compatible Mounting Plates

Use the UPM-360 with other 1.5 NPT compatible structural mounts or mounting plates.

1. Attach a 1.5 NPT extension column to your compatible mount, and screw the UPM-360’s rotating column onto the end of the extension column.
2. Mount your projector. See AAttttaching the Praching the Projectojector or above.
