Installation

After checking the height, width, and structure of the installation location, determine the appropriate positions for setting up the screen and installing the projector.

Setting up the screen

Set up the screen according to the specified method in a position that takes into account the projection distance and angle and the type of screen being used.

Screws tightening torques

M6………. 4±0.5 N•m
M8………. 10±1 N•m
M10…….. 20±1 N•m

• Hex head bolts (M 8 × 107) are not used for assembly but for adjusting projector position.
•  Use a torque screwdriver or torque wrench to tighten screws and bolts to their specified tightening torques. Do not use electric screwdrivers or impact screwdrivers.

Preparing the attachment plate

Before installing the attachment plate to the ceiling, use the steps below to join the pole brace (1 and 2), the adjustable pole unit, and the adjustable bracket unit to the attachment plate.
■ Attaching the pole brace 1 to the attachment plate

Insert the pole brace 1 into the center of the attachment plate, and secure the pole brace 1 with the supplied eight captive washer hex head bolts (M6 × 16). (Refer to the figure  on the left for the directions of the attachment plate and the pole brace 1.)
The attachment plate must be mounted in the ceiling to enable aligning the lens with the center of the screen. When the location of the attachment plate is determined, secure the pole brace 1 to the adjustment plate. At this time, align any of the holes that are spaced horizontally at 36 mm intervals on the pole brace 1 with the through holes in the attachment plate and secure the two parts.

Attention
Be sure to tighten the screws and bolts to their specified tightening torques. Insufficient tightening torque may cause the projection screen to tilt.
Attach the adjustable bracket unit and the pole brace 2 to the adjustable pole unit.

1. Join the adjustable pole unit, the adjustable bracket unit, and the pole brace 2.
   Before inserting the adjustable pole unit into the adjustable bracket unit extend the pole to its maximum length.
   i ) Loosen the captive washer hex head bolts (6 locations) in the center of the adjustable pole unit,  fully extend the pole and retighten the bolts.
   ii) Insert the adjustable bracket unit so that the FRONT inscription on the adjustable pole unit is on the same side as the lens as illustrated on the left.
   iii) Attach the pole brace 2 to the adjustable pole unit and use the three supplied captive washer hex head bolts (M6 × 16) to firmly secure them. z The base of the adjustable pole unit comes with positioning holes spaced 30 mm apart.
   Use screen position and the vertical slide range (0 to 100 mm) of the adjustable pole unit to determine where to secure the pole brace 2.

Use the three supplied captive washer hex head bolts (M6 × 16) to firmly secure the pole brace 2 and the adjustable bracket unit.
Note
The adjustable pole unit is shipped fully retracted.
Joining the pole brace 1 and the adjustable pole unit

1. Insert the adjustable pole unit in pole brace 1 and orient it so that the FRONT inscription is on the side where the lens will be mounted.

2. Pass the two supplied captive washer hex head bolts (M6 × 80) through the pole brace 1 from the lens side and finger tighten using M6 flat washers and M6 hex nuts.
   The top of pole brace 1 come with positioning holes spaced 30 mm apart.
   Use screen position and the vertical slide range (0 to 100 mm) of the adjustable pole unit to determine where to secure the pole brace 1.

3. Use the four supplied captive washer hex head bolts (M6 × 16), two each on the right and left sides of the pole brace 1, and a finger to tighten them.

4. One by one tighten the captive washer hex head bolts that were finger tightened in steps 2) and 3) to firmly join the pole brace 1 and the adjustable pole unit.

Attention
z Be sure to tighten the screws and bolts to their specified tightening torques. Insufficient tightening torque may cause the projection screen to tilt.

Installing the attachment plate to the ceiling

After checking the height, width, and structure of the installation location, determine the appropriate positions for setting up the screen and installing the projector. Determine the location of the attachment plate in the ceiling to align the lens with the center of the screen.
Attachment plate mounting hole sizes and preparation Make mounting holes while referring to the attachment plate diagram.

Attention

• If installed on a concrete structure, the sizes of the mounting holes should match the sizes of the anchoring nuts or curled plugs.
• Use commercially available ceiling mount bolts, hex nuts, flat washers, spring washers, and anchoring nuts or curled plugs.

Installing the attachment plate
Depending on whether it is installed on a concrete or wooden ceiling structure, there are two different installation methods. Carry out by the appropriate installation method which is suited to each ceiling.
Before installation, check to make sure that the ceiling where the ceiling bolts are fastened is sturdy enough to support the weight of the projector and the ceiling mount bracket and withstand the twisting of external forces they may be exposed to.

Attention

• Make sure to use the ceiling mount bolts, hex nuts, flat washers, spring washers, anchoring nuts or curled plugs for M10.
• All nuts and bolts should be securely tightened, and sufficient measures such as using two nuts or locking the bolts should be employed as necessary to prevent any loosening.

Install ng to a wooden structure

1. Drill four penetration holes in the ceiling beam for the ceiling mount bolts.
   Refer to the section “Bolt mounting hole size” on page 10.
   If the ceiling where the ceiling bolts are attached is not of sufficient strength, make the necessary reinforcements to ensure a safe installation.

2. Securely fix the four ceiling mount bolts to the ceiling beam.

3. Firmly secure the attachment plate using ceiling mount bolts.
   Secure the attachment plate so that the screen side edge of the plate is parallel with the upper edge of the screen.
   The threaded end of ceiling mount bolt at the attachment plate side should protrude by approx. 5 mm (3/16″) from the hex nut. Be sure to use commercially available flat and spring washers to install the attachment plate.

Note
Since the inside of the adjustable pole unit is narrower than other ceiling mount brackets*, it is not wide enough to accommodate the signal cable or other cables from the projector.
The inner diameter of the adjustable pole of the ceiling mount bracket varies with the product. Please refer to the installation instructions or other supplied instructions.

Installing to a concrete structure

1. Attach the anchoring nuts or curled plugs to a concrete ceiling and securely fix the four ceiling mount bolts. (Refer to page 10 for attachment positions.)
   When installing anchoring nuts or curled plugs, strictly adhere to the installation instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the nuts so that they will not loosen in the concrete structure or be dislodged from the intended positions.
   If the concrete ceiling is fragile or brittle with age, reinforce it using steel or wood.

2. Firmly secure the attachment plate using ceiling mount bolts.
   Secure the attachment plate so that the screen side edge of the plate is parallel with the upper edge of the screen.
   The threaded end of ceiling mount bolt at the attachment plate side should protrude by approx. 5 mm (3/16″) from the hex nut. Be sure to use commercially available flat and spring washers to install the attachment plate.

Note
Since the inside of the adjustable pole unit is narrower than other ceiling mount brackets*, it is not wide enough to accommodate the signal cable or other cables from the projector.
The inner diameter of the adjustable pole of the ceiling mount bracket varies with the product. Please refer to the installation instructions or other supplied instructions.

Suspending the projector
