PREPARATION

Locate Mounting Site

WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION MAY LEAD TO PROJECTOR MOUNT FALLING CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT! It is the installers responsibility to make certain the structure to which the projector mount is being mounted is capable of supporting five times the weight of the projector mount and all attached equipment. Reinforce the structure as required before installing the projector mount.

1. Determine required position of the RPA projector mount.
2. Determine required distance of the projector mount from the screen using the lens-to-screen distance information.

NOTE: Proceed to Installing to 1-1/2" Threaded Extension Column, Installing to Wood Framework (Joists), or Installing to Threaded Rod section, as appropriate.

INSTALLATION

Installing to 1-1/2" Threaded Extension Column

1. Install 1-1/2" NPT or NPSM following ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 (Schedule 40, 0.154" minimum thickness steel or aluminum - ASTM B221) threaded extension column (not included) into threaded collar until tight, with a minimum of four threads engaged.
2. Thread RPA projector mount (A) onto the threaded extension column (not included) until hand tight, with a minimum of four threads engaged.
3. Turn RPA clockwise or counter-clockwise until front of mount is facing target.

IMPORTANT ! : When RPA is properly positioned, the set screw access hole should be pointing directly at target, or 180° AWAY from target.

1. Secure RPA to pipe by turning set screw until tight. (See Figure 1)

CAUTION: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Over tightening of set screw can damage threads on pipe.

Installing to Wood Framework (Joists)

1. Using the RPA as a guide, mark four mounting hole locations. (See Figure 2)
2. Drill four 1/8" x 1-1/2" deep (minimum depth) pilot holes. (See Figure 2)

① ② x 4 (example only)

1. Align four mounting holes in RPA with four pilot holes.

IMPORTANT ! : When RPA is properly positioned, the set screw access hole should be pointing directly at target, or 180° AWAY from target.

1. Secure RPA to structure using four 1/4" x 2" minimum length lag bolts (not included) and four 1/4" flat washers (not included). (See Figure 3)

NOTE: If the wood framework structure allows, the hardware may be installed from above the RPA projector mount.

Installing to Threaded Rod

NOTE: The RPA projector mount may be suspended from four 1/4-20 steel threaded rods (not included) which are secured to unistrut by 1/4-20 Grade 2 or better channel nuts (not included), or to angle or channel assembly overhead structural members (trusses or I-beams) by 1/4-20 Grade 2 or better jam nuts (not included). Threaded rods must have 16 threads per square inch.

1. Secure one end of each of the four threaded rods (not included) to the structural member.

2. Install one 1/4-20 jam nut (not included) and one 1/4" washer (not included) onto each threaded rod.

3. Install RPA onto threaded rods, inserting the rods into the four slots on top of the RPA.

NOTE: Hole in the RPA allows socket wrench access without unit disassembly.

1. Secure the threaded rods to the RPA with one 1/4-20 jam nut (not included) and one 1/4" washer (not included) on each threaded rod. (See Figure 4)
