TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION

PARTS

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

Remove Screw Adapters from SLBU/SLMU Legs

1. Press locking buttons on SLBU/SLMU leg (B) firmly and simultaneously push clip cover toward enclosed sliding stud mount bracket and screw. (See Figure 1)
2. Screw adapter and attached height-adjustment nut will be released. Set aside for later use. (See Figure 1)
3. Repeat Steps 1-2 for each leg to be used in installation.

Figure 1

Attach Projector to SLBU/SLMU

WARNING: Exceeding the weight capacity can result in serious personal injury or damage to equipment! It is the installer's responsibility to make sure the combined weight of all components attached to the SLBU-SLMU interface brackets does not exceed 50 lbs (22.68 kg).

1. Determine proper size screw to insert into projector. Test Phillips screws (M, N, P, Q and R) provided until one fits the projector holes.
2. Insert screws through M4 flat washers (S), screw adapters with height-adjustable nuts and into projector holes. (See Figure 2)

NOTE: Only use washers (S) if using M or N screws to attach screw adapters to projector.

Figure 2

1. Adjust height-adjustment nuts to desired level. (See Figure 3)

NOTE: Height-adjustment nuts should be adjusted as low as possible while ensuring that the legs will always clear any elevated surfaces on the projector. All nuts must be adjusted to the same level to ensure an even mount.

IMPORTANT ! : The optional Universal Hardware Kit - Long Screws (see Parts drawing) may be used if there is interference with any part of the projector, and more height is required to clear elevated surfaces of the projector.

Figure 3

1. Place SLBU/SLMU legs (B) over screw adapters and height-adjustment nuts. (See Figure 4)

NOTE: Make sure arm latch clips are in the unlocked position.

Figure 4

1. Press locking buttons on SLBU/SLMU leg (B) firmly and simultaneously push clip cover away from enclosed sliding stud mount bracket until clip cover is in the locked position. (See Figure 5)

2. Repeat Step 5 for remaining legs.

WARNING: Make sure legs have securely locked onto height-adjustable nuts with the latch clips. If the legs are not properly locked onto the adapters, the projector could fall from the SLBU/SLMU mount causing SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH!

Figure 5

1. Manuever legs so that sliding stud mount brackets and screws are towards the middle of the projector. (See Figure 6) and (See Figure 7)
2. Position sliding stud mount brackets and screws so that SLBU or SLMU main plate (A) can be evenly mounted to legs. (See Figure 6) and (See Figure 7)
3. Use 1/4" hex key (U) to secure Allen nuts (T) to screws on sliding stud mounts. (See Figure 6) and (See Figure 7)

NOTE: The following examples are two of many possible scenarios based on typical examples of mounting hole patterns. Specific connection points will vary based on the hole pattern. Multiple scenarios may be used for each specific hole pattern as long as the weight of the projector is centered and balanced after mounting.

Figure 6

Figure 7

Attach SLBU/SLMU to RPA or RPM

1. On SLBU, partially install four thumb nuts (D) to SLBU main plate screws. Be sure to install thumb nuts with tapered side down. (See Figure 8)

NOTE: If using optional security brackets (C) to connect SLBU bracket to RPA or non-locking RPM mount, refer to Security Bracket Installation section prior to installing thumb nuts.

Figure 8

1. Attach SLBU/SLMU to RPA/RPM. Refer to RPA/RPM installation manual for details.

Security Screw Installation (Optional)

1. Install #8-32 x 3/8" button head security screws (K) into security holes on SLBU/SLMU legs. (See Figure 9)

NOTE: Up to two security screws can be installed on each leg. It is recommended that screws be installed in holes that are difficult to access to achieve maximum security.

NOTE: Cable ties (not included) may be used instead of the security screws. Thread cable tie through both holes on leg and secure cable tie.

Figure 9

Security Bracket Installation (Optional)

NOTE: Security brackets (C) can only be used when connecting SLBU bracket to RPA or non-locking RPM mounts.

1. Install security brackets (C) over screws on SLBU main plate. (See Figure 10)

2. Partially install thumb nuts (D) onto SLBU main plate screws. (See Figure 10)
