PAN-1 INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

To install the PAN-1 Lens Support (hereinafter called the PAN-1), perform the following procedures:

• Removing Projector from Ceiling Mount
• Attaching PAN-1 to RPA
  • Installing and Adjusting Lens
• Adjusting PAN-1 to Projector Lens

Removing Projector from Ceiling Mount

The projector must be removed from the mount before installing this accessory. With an assistant, remove projector from RPA ceiling mount as follows:

NOTE: If your projector is not installed on the RPA ceiling mount, proceed to the next procedure.

1. Power-off the projector (see Figure 4).
2. Disconnect the power cord that supplies electric power to the projector.
3. Disconnect the audio/video cables from the projector.
4. Loosen the thumbscrews securing the projector to the RPA ceiling mount (see Figure 3).
5. Carefully slide the projector forward until the projector releases from the RPA ceiling mount.
6. Remove the projector.

Figure 3. Completely Installed PAN-1 — Example

Figure 4. Video Projector — Typical

Attaching PAN-1 to RPA

Attach the PAN-1 to the RPA projector mount, as follows:

NOTE: The four screws and washers removed from the RPA are located closest to the projector lens. Do not remove the screws and washers from the second set of slotted holes on the RPA.

1. On the RPA, remove two screws from the first set of slotted holes on the RPA (see Figure 5).
2. Remove the two center screws from the RPA.
3. On the PAN-1, loosen the two screws on each side to allow the bracket to extend backward and forward.
4. Slide the PAN-1 over the RPA projector mount, as shown in Figure 6.
5. Align the slotted holes on the PAN-1 with the slotted holes on the RPA. For reference, see step 1.
6. Locate the parts bag supplied with the PAN-1. Find four 5/8" screws (80) and four #10 washers (90).
   NOTE: Leave the four screws (80) loose. These screws will be adjusted and tightened later.
7. Attach the PAN-1 to the RPA by installing four screws (80) and washers (90) into the threaded holes on the RPA (see Figure 6).
8. Find two 1-1/4" Phillips screws (70) in the parts bag.
   NOTE: Stop threading each screw (70) when the end protrudes through the bracket hole approximately 14 " as shown in Figure 7.
9. Install two screws (70) in the threaded tabs on the PAN-1 (see Figure 7).

Installing and Adjusting Lens

Install and adjust the PAN-1 lens, as follows:

1. With an assistant, install your projector back on the ceiling mount at this time. Secure all thumbnails and audio/video cables. Do not restore power to the projector at this time. See Figure 8.

2. Install the PAN-1 lens at this time, as follows:

a. Align the threaded holes in the PAN-1 lens with the holes in the front plate (40).

b. Attach the PAN-1 lens using two nylon spacers (100) and two thumb knobs (supplied).

c. Place the PAN-1 lens in the desired position and tighten the thumb knobs (see Figure 9.

Figure 8. Install Projector on Ceiling Mount

Figure 9. Install PAN-1 Lens

Adjusting PAN-1 to Projector Lens

The PAN-1 lens support can be adjusted to accommodate different projector models and lens placement. See Table 2.

Table 2. PAN-1 Specification Chart

Pitch:	20° down and 10° up
Extension:	3 inches from projector mount
Lateral Shift:	6-1/4 inches
Height Adjustment:	3-5/8 inches up and down on front lens plate.

Refer to Figure 10 and adjust the PAN-1 lens to the RPA projector lens, as follows:

Pitch Adjustment

1. To adjust lens pitch, adjust the two angle screws to raise or lower the lens. This adjustment aligns the conversion lens with the projector lens.

Extension Adjustment

1. To adjust lens extension (raise or lower the lens), do the following:

a. Loosen four screws (30) and washers (90) on the side of the front adjustable plate (20).
b. Slide the front adjustable plate (20) back so the lens is approximately 1/8" to 1/4" from the projector lens.
c. Tighten the four screws (30) and washers (90).

Lateral Shift Adjustment

1. To adjust lateral shift, do the following:

a. Loosen the knob (60) and slide the lens left or right to the center of the projector lens.
b. Tighten the knob (60).

Height Adjustment

1. For height adjustment, do the following:

a. Loosen the knob (60) and slide the PAN-1 lens up or down.
b. Tighten the knob (60).

Adjustment Notes

NOTE: Except for fine-tuning, the PAN-1 is adjusted after completing the adjustment process. However, after restoring power to the projector, you may want to repeat a particular adjustment procedure in order to make minor changes.

NOTE: Depending on your projector model, it may be necessary to adjust the lens at a slight angle to the projector lens, which helps to correct keystone. Or, loosen the lens knobs and tilt the PAN-1 lens as needed.
