Pre-Installation

Determine the exact location of the installation on the drop ceiling.
Consider the following:

The vertical and horizontal offsets of the projector from the proposed
location.

The projector dimensions relative to the image target.

NOTE:

See the projector manual for details.

Installation

Step 1 — Mark the Frame and Cut the Ceiling Tile.

a.

At the location for the projector, identify the ceiling tile and T-frame
where the PCM will be installed.

b.

Remove the predetermined ceiling tile and mark the maximum and
minimum throw distances of the projector on the T-frame (see
figure 2).

TIP:

Mark the screen direction on the back of the tile to
help with orientation of the tile when replacing it after
cutting�

If it helps, create more working space by removing the adjacent
tiles.

c.

Place the PCM base plate over the T-frame, between the two marks.
Lightly tighten the T-frame securing screws (which can be inserted
on the inside or outside of the PCM).

d.

Mark the location of the PCM base plate on the T-frame to aid in
replacing it in the correct location.
