Quick Projector Disconnect/Reconnect:
To quickly and easily remove the projector from the ceiling: loosen

registration adjustments. This feature makes projector servicing
and maintenance quick and easy by eliminating the need for
re-registration. Security wrench included for use when thumbnuts

mounted in exact alignment with the projection screen. The Lateral

three inches right or left of the installation spot (5 3/4 inches
on projectors under 15 lbs.). Easily accommodate different lens
placement when projectors are replaced in existing installations
and maintains quick disconnect feature. Includes All-Points™
Security System hardware.
FAQs
Q. How much height will
the ceiling mount add to my installation?
A. The mount top is only 1 3/4" high plus
approximately 3/4" for the projector bracket.
Q. Do I need to order the Lateral Shift projector
bracket separately?
A. No, the assembly ships complete when you order
ceiling mount. The part number includes both the universal top and
Lateral Shift bracket.
Q. How much assembly is required for the mount?
A. None, just attach the Lateral Shift bracket to your
projector. If you choose to use All-Points™ you will need to
replace indicated screws with included hardware. No disassembly
needed.
Q. How much weight does the mount hold?
A. Each ceiling mount is custom designed to support
the weight of the projector models specified. However, your ceiling
must hold at least 5x the weight of your installation.
Q. How does the All-Points™ Security System
work?
A. All-Points™ is included with
each ceiling mount and is optional to use. The system locks
the projector and ceiling mount with security hardware at all key
connection points: Roll, Pitch and Yaw adjustments;
bracket-to-projector; and mount-to-bracket.
Q. Do I have to order All-Points™
separately?
A. No, All-Points™ is included in
all ceiling mount packages at no additional cost and is
optional to use.
Q. Do I need any additional accessories to install the
ceiling mount?
A. The ceiling mount can be flush mounted to the
ceiling without any additional accessories for a low profile,
simple installation. However, often times you will need to lower
the projector from a structural, finished or suspended ceiling. For
these common applications, you will want to order the appropriate
accessories.
Q. When do I need to use the Lateral Shift
accessory?
A. Often times, ceiling structures will not allow the
projector to be mounted in exact alignment with the projection
screen. The Lateral Shift Accessory saves an abundance of time
and hassles in trying to solve this common problem. Also use the
Lateral Shift accessory to easily accommodate different lens
placement when projectors are replaced in existing
installations.
Q. If I use the ceiling mount with a Suspended
Ceiling Kit, do I need an extension column?
A. Yes. Any 1 1/2" NPT threaded extension column will
work.
Q. How does the ceiling mount design create
natural convection ventilation?
A. Brackets are custom designed to allow for airflow
that ventilates and helps cool projectors.
