WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION MAY LEAD TO PROJECTOR MOUNT FALLING CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT! It is the installer's 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 RPMX projector mount.
2. Determine required distance of the projector mount from the screen using the projector specifications.

NOTE: Proceed to Installing to 1-1/2" Threaded Extension Column, Installing to Wood Framework, Installing to Concrete Ceiling, 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 RPMX projector mount (A) onto the threaded extension column (not included) until hand tight.
3. Turn RPMX clockwise or counter-clockwise until front of mount is facing target.

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

1. Secure RPMX to pipe by turning set screw with a 5/32" hex key until tight. (See Figure 1)

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

Figure 1

1. Turn security screw (access from bottom of RPMX) (See Figure 2) using a Phillips screwdriver until set screw cannot be seen through set screw access hole in RPMX. (See Figure 1)

Figure 2

1. Proceed to Installing Projector with Interface Bracket section.

Installing to Wood Framework (Joists)

1. Using the RPMX as a guide, mark four mounting hole locations. (See Figure 3)
2. Drill four 3/32" (2.4mm) dia. pilot holes to a depth of 1-3/4" (45mm) deep.

Figure 3

1. Align four mounting holes in RPMX with four pilot holes. IMPORTANT! When RPMX is properly positioned, the set screw access hole should be pointing directly at target, or 180° AWAY from target.
