Assembly And Installation

NOTE: The PG1A and PG2A should not be used in a flush ceiling mount.

NOTE: The projector must be removed from the mount before installing this accessory.

Removing Projector from Ceiling Mount

1. Power off the projector and disconnect the power cord.
2. Disconnect any audio/video cables from the projector.
3. Loosen the thumbnails securing the projector to the RPA/RPM mount. (See Figure 1)

Thumbnails 3 4 RPA/RPM Mount

Figure 1

1. Carefully slide the projector forward until it disengages from the RPA/RPM mount.

Attaching Interface Bracket to RPM/RPA

1. For the RPM only, prepare two interface brackets (D) using four 1/4-20X3/4" buttonhead screws (H), four 1/4" flat washers (K) and four 1/4" hex nuts (P). (See Figure 2)

(H) x 4 (D) x 2 (K) x 4 (P) x 4

Figure 2

1. Attach two interface brackets (D) to RPM using four 1/4-20 x 1-1/2" buttonhead cap screws (I) and four nylon spacers (N). (See Figure 3)

(D) x 2 RPM (N) x 4 (I) x 4

Figure 3

1. For the RPA only attach two interface brackets (D) to the RPA using four 1/4-20x3/4" buttonhead screws (H), four 1/4" flat washers (K) and four 1/4" hex nuts (P). (See Figure 4)

Configure Fillers on the Projector Guard

NOTE: The open cutout in the projector guard is designated as the FRONT of the guard.

1. Remove and keep the security screws from the top and bottom of the front except for the two screws on the right side of the projector guard. (See Figure 5)

(PG2A shown) Removable filler bar Leave two screws in to make a hinged door Filler Bar Security Screws

Figure 5

1. Place projector inside the projector guard (See Figure 5)

NOTE: The front fillers serve two different purposes, and the number of fillers varies between the PG-1A and PG-2A. The front filler(s) can be installed to accommodate the various projector lens positions.

1. Check the position of the front filler(s) to ensure the projector lens is unobstructed.
2. To move the filler(s), remove the two security screws from each filler.
3. Change the filler(s) position as necessary, and reinstall the security screws.
4. Remove the projector from the projector guard.

Install Projector on RPA/RPM

1. Ensure the SLB is installed on the projector. (See Figure 6) If the SLB needs to be installed, install it according to the installation instructions provided with the SLB.
2. To connect the RPA to a new projector, refer to the installation instructions provided with the RPA.
3. For a pole-mounted RPA, slide the slotted openings on the RPA into the threaded studs on the SLB. (See Figure 6) Fasten the RPA to the SLB with thumbnails and handtighten.

Install Projector Guard Using a Pipe Clamp

NOTE: Installation using a 1" or 1-1/2" diameter Schedule 40 steel pipe with 1-1/2" NPT threads requires securing the pipe to the building structure. We suggest using a CMA ceiling plate to secure the pipe to a structural member.

1. Using the projector, security mount and NPT pipe, determine the height location to install the locking collar (top of security mount).

2. Install the clamp and fasteners as follows:

a. For 1-1/2" NPT install the clamp at the desired height and secure using the U-bolt, two flat washers, two lock washers, and two 5/16-18 hex nuts (provided with U-bolt). (See Figure 10)

(F) NPT Pipe (C) (L) x 2 (J) x 2 Provided with U-bolt

Figure 10

b. For 1" NPT install the clamp at the desired height and secure using the U-bolt, two nylon spacers, two flat washers, and two 5/16-19 hex nuts (provided with U-bolt). (See Figure 11)

1. Install the projector on the 1" or 1-1/2" NPT pipe.

Figure 11

1. Slide the projector guard over the clamp assembly and select the desired mounting slots in the projector guard.
2. Secure the projector guard to the clamp using two 1/4-20 x 3/4" buttonhead screws and two flat washers. (See Figure 11)
   NOTE: A padlock may be placed on the projector guard for added security. (See Figure 9)
