PREPARATION

NOTE: The CMS440 has been designed to be mounted recessed into a suspended ceiling secured by a WireVice system.

1. Determine exact location of extension column (not included) on suspended ceiling. Mark location on lower (finished) side of ceiling tile with pencil. (See Figure 1)

Be sure to consider the following items when determining column location:

- Dimensional offset of display/projector relative to column (due to mount and/or interface).

- For Projectors: Any recommended dimensions of projector relative to target (See installation instructions included with the projector).

1. Remove affected ceiling tile and any adjacent tiles required for access.
2. Press center tip of ceiling tile cutter (M) into finished side of ceiling tile at marked location. Cut extension column hole through tile using back and forth hand twisting motion.
3. Reinstall ceiling tile with extension column hole. Ensure tile is oriented for proper location of hole.
4. Install CMS440 assembly (A) on top of ceiling tile so that end brackets engage primary (1-1/2" (38mm) high) rails of ceiling framework. (See Figure 2)

1. Loosen four wing nuts in upper side of CMS440 assembly (A). (See Figure 2)
2. Position CMS440 assembly (A) and/or extension column support (as required) to center support over ceiling tile hole. (See Figure 2)
3. Tighten wing nuts (See Figure 2).
4. OPTIONAL: Mark location of electrical cutout on ceiling tile with pencil. (See Figure 2)
5. Examine ceiling structure (concrete, steel truss, or wood) above CMS440 assembly (A) to identify four support cable anchor locations. Each location should be approximately 15° outboard of support holes in CMS440 assembly (A) (See Figure 3). Mark locations with pencil.

1. Remove CMS440 assembly (A) and ceiling tile.
2. OPTIONAL: Cut electrical box opening in ceiling tile at marked location. Install UL Listed Raco 560 or equivalent UL Listed electrical box (not included) to CMS440 (A) following instructions included with electrical box.

SUPPORT CABLE INSTALLATION

WARNING: Failure to provide adequate structural strength for this component can result in serious personal injury or damage to equipment! It is the installer's responsibility to make sure the structure to which this component is attached can support five times the combined weight of all equipment. Reinforce the structure as required before installing the component.

Solid Concrete Ceiling Structure

WARNING: Anchors must be installed into structurally sound solid concrete with a minimum thickness of 1.75" (44.5mm) or greater. Installation into hollow concrete block, mortar, or concrete that exhibits cracking, spalling, or other defects may result in failure of anchor and serious personal injury or damage to equipment!

1. Drill 1/4" diameter x 1-3/8" deep hole at each marked cable anchor support location (See Figure 4). Ensure hole is at least 2-1/2" from nearest concrete edge. Remove debris from hole.

1. Tap anchor (D) into each hole to a depth of at least 1" (25mm). (See Figure 4)

WARNING: Failure to properly set anchor may result in failure of anchor and serious personal injury or damage to equipment!

1. Using claw portion of hammer, set each anchor (D) by pulling it out of hole approximately 1/4" (6.4mm). (See Figure 4)

2. Insert portion of manufactured loop on cable (C) through hole in anchor (D) (See Figure 4). Insert end of cable (C) through loop. Repeat for 3 remaining support locations.

Steel Truss Ceiling Structure

1. Route end of cable (C) over truss at marked cable anchor support location and then through cable loop. (See Figure 5) Repeat for 3 remaining support locations.

Figure 5

Wood Ceiling Structure

WARNING: Anchors must be installed into wood with a minimum thickness of 1-1/2" (38.1 mm) or greater.

1. Drill 5/32" diameter x 2" deep hole at each marked cable anchor support location (See Figure 6). Remove debris from hole.

2" (51mm) ① 5/32" ② (E) ③ (C)

1. Fully thread eye lag (E) into each hole (See Figure 6).

2. Route end of cable (C) through eye lag (E) and then through cable loop (See Figure 6). Repeat for 3 remaining support locations.

TRAY INSTALLATION

1. Reinstall ceiling tile with extension column hole. Ensure tile is oriented for proper location of hole.
2. Reinstall CMS440 assembly (A) on top of ceiling tile so that extension column support is centered over hole in tile.
3. Position CMS440 assembly (A) with four screws (G) as required:
4. For 24" (610mm) Framework: Install screws through end bracket inside holes (See Figure 7).
5. For 600mm (23-5/8") Framework: Install screws through end bracket outside holes (See Figure 8).

CAUTION: Failure to properly tension cables (C) may result in damage to ceiling tile framework!

1. Thread each cable (C) completely through cable lock (F), corresponding hole in corner of CMS440 assembly (A), and completely through opposite side of cable lock (F) (See Figure 9). Adjust cable tension until CMS440 assembly (A) is supported entirely and evenly by all four support cables, but not so tight as to distort ceiling tile framework.

NOTE: Cable lock (F) will allow cable to enter from only one direction per side, indicated by arrows on lock. Depress spring loaded pins on cable lock (F) to release cable tension.

EXTENSION COLUMN INSTALLATION

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 CMS440 up to (and including) the display/projector, does not exceed 50 lbs (22 kg).

1. Install 1-1/2" NPT or NPSM following ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 (Schedule 40, 0.154" minimum thickness aluminum - ASTM B221) threaded extension column (not included) into extension column support until tight, with a minimum of four threads engaged.

NOTE: If installation instructions are not available, contact Chief Manufacturing for assistance.

1. Secure extension column by one of the following methods (See Figure 10):

• Install one 10-24 x 1/4" Phillips pan head screw (H) into extension column support, tightening firmly against column.
- OPTIONAL: Install one 10-24 x 1/4" button head security screw (J) through locking collar (K) into extension column support, tightening firmly against column.

NOTE: Locking collar (K) is designed to spin, even when screw (J) is tight.
