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 RPE 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 a CPA pipe, Installing to 1- 1 / 2 Threaded Extension Column, Installing to Wood Framework (Joists), or Installing to Threaded Rod section, as appropriate.

INSTALLATION

Installing to a CPA Pipe

1. Making sure holes are aligned on RPE's CPA adapter and CPA column (not included), lift RPE into bottom opening of CPA column. (See Figure 1)
2. Install either one M6x16 button head screw (C) or security screw (D) into hole on side of CPA pipe where the adapter plate on CPA adapter is located. (See Figure 1)
3. On the opposite side of CPA pipe, use the other M6x16 button head screw (C) or security screw (D) to secure RSE (A) to CPA column. (See Figure 1)

Figure 1

1. Proceed to "Projector Installation" Section.

CPA Adapter Removal

NOTE: If installing RPE to anything other than a CPA column, the CPA adapter portion must be removed from RPE mount prior to installation.

1. Loosen set screw holding CPA adapter to RPE mount. (See Figure 2)
2. Turn CPA adapter counter-clockwise until threads are no longer engaged with RPE. (See Figure 2)
3. Remove CPA adapter from RPE. (See Figure 2)

Figure 2

Installing to 1-1/2" Threaded Extension Column

NOTE: CPA adapter must be removed prior to installing RPE to threaded pipe. See CPA Adapter Removal Section for details.

1. Install 1-1/2" NPT or NPSM steel or aluminum threaded extension column (not included) into threaded collar until tight, with a minimum of four threads engaged. (See Figure 3)
2. Thread RPE projector mount (A) onto the threaded extension column (not included) until hand tight, with a minimum of four threads engaged. (See Figure 3)
3. Turn RPE clockwise or counter-clockwise until front of mount is facing target. (See Figure 3)

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

1. Secure RPE to pipe by turning set screw until tight. (See Figure 3)

CAUTION: DO NOT OVERLIGHTEN! Overtightening of set screw can damage threads on pipe.

Figure 3

1. Proceed to Installing Projector with Interface Bracket section.

Installing to Wood Framework (Joists)

1. Using the RPE as a guide, mark four mounting hole locations. (See Figure 4)
2. Drill four 1/8 x 1-1/2 deep (minimum depth) pilot holes (See Figure 4)

Figure 4

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

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

1. Secure RPE to structure using four 1/4'' × 2'' minimum length lag bolts (not included) and four 1/4'' flat washers (not included). (See Figure 5)

Figure 5

1. Proceed to Installing Projector with Interface Bracket section.

Installing to Threaded Rod

NOTE: CPA adapter must be removed prior to installing RPE to threaded pipe. See CPA Adapter Removal Section for details.

NOTE: The RPE projector mount may be suspended from four steel 1/4-20 threaded rods (not included) which are secured to unistrut, angle or channel assembly overhead structural members (trusses or I-beams) by steel 1/4-20 channel nuts (not included).

1. Secure one end of each of the four threaded rods (not included) to the structural member. (See Figure 6)
2. Install one 1/4-20 jam nut (not included) and one 1 / 4 washer (not included) onto each threaded rod. (See Figure 6)
3. Install RPE onto threaded rods, inserting the rods into the four slots on top of the RPE. (See Figure 6)

NOTE: Hole in the RPE allows socket wrench access without unit disassembly.
4. Secure the threaded rods to the RPE with one 1/4-20 jam nut (not included) and one 1 / 4'' washer (not included) on each threaded rod. (See Figure 6)

Figure 6

1. Proceed to Installing Projector with Interface Bracket section.

PROJECTOR INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT ! : Model RPE uses optional Chief "SLB" Series interface brackets. See Parts drawing.

1. Attach projector to interface bracket (B) using installation instructions and hardware included with the interface bracket.

NOTE: Security screws can be substituted when mounting interface bracket to projector by using the hardware and installation instructions in the All-Points Security Kit (included with interface bracket).

Installing Projector with Interface Bracket

1. Orient projector with interface bracket.
2. Loosen (but do not remove) thumb nuts on the interface bracket. (See Figure 7)
3. Raise projector with attached interface bracket to RPE projector mount (A). (See Figure 7)

Figure 7

1. Align the thumb nuts on the interface bracket with the locating slots on the RPE projector mount. (See Figure 8)
2. Slide the interface bracket with attached projector to the limit of the locating slots. (See Figure 8)

WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN LEAD TO PROJECTOR FALLING RESULTING IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. Make certain mounting slots in RPE projector mount base slide under thumb screws and that screws are seated in the back of locating slots.

1. Tighten thumb nuts to secure projector in place.

Figure 8

1. Route all cables as required.

ADJUSTMENTS

The RPE projector mount can be adjusted for pitch (vertical elevation), roll (horizontal tilt), and yaw (rotation).

WARNING: OVER-LOOSENING OR REMOVAL OF HARDWARE MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR SERIOUS DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT! RPE projector mount and hardware is to be loosened only enough to allow for necessary movement.

Pitch (Vertical Elevation)

Adjust pitch using the two pitch adjustment screws located on each end of the RPE.

1. Loosen two pitch adjustment screws located on each end of the RPE.
2. Adjust projector angle to desired pitch. (See Figure 9)
