ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

Remove Screw Adapters from SSBU/SSMU Legs

1. Press locking buttons on SSBU/SSMU leg (C) 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 SSBU/SSMU

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 SSBU/SSMU interface brackets does not exceed 25 lbs (11.34 kg).

1. Determine proper size screw to insert into projector. Test Phillips screws (L, M, N, P, or Q) provided until one fits the projector holes.

2. Insert screws through M4 flat washers (R), screw adapters with height-adjustable nuts and into projector holes. (See Figure 2)

NOTE: Only use washers (R) if using L or M 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 SSBU/SSMU legs (C) 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 SSBU/SSMU leg (C) 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 SSBU/SSMU mount causing SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH!

Figure 5

1. Maneuver 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 SSBU or SSMU main plate (A) can be evenly mounted to legs. (See Figure 6) and (See Figure 7)
3. Secure SSBU/SSMU main plate to SSBU/SSMU legs by installing 1/4-20" Allen nuts (S) to screws on SSBU/SSMU legs. (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 SSBU/SSMU to UL Listed RSA or RSM

1. On SSBU, partially install four thumb nuts (D) to SSBU main plate screws. (See Figure 8)

Figure 8

1. Place SSBU/SSMU base plate (B) over SSBU/SSMU interface plate (A). (See Figure 9)

Figure 9

1. Attach SSBU/SSMU to RSA/RSM. Refer to RSA/RSM installation manual for details.

Security Screw Installation (Optional)

1. Install #8-32 x 3/8" button head security screws (F) into security holes on SSBU/SSMU legs. (See Figure 10)

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.
