Review this section before beginning to ensure the best possible experience during and after installation of the
SM-PROJ-XL projector mount.

6.1. Mounting Height and Location
• The ideal parameters for projector height and distance from the screen vary depending on the equipment in
use and the operating environment. Plan the location that is best for performance according to the screen
and projector specifications.
• Make sure that nothing will obstruct installation of the projector mount fasteners and wiring in the building
structure, such as concealed plumbing, ductwork, electrical wiring or conduit. Ensure that no exposed
items on the ceiling or walls will obstruct the line of sight or prevent any part of the system from being
mounted correctly.
6.2. Ceiling Mounting Options
• The SM-PROJ-XL projector mount and all Strong mounting accessories utilize 1.5” NPT threads for
attachment of mount parts, accessories, and extensions. These optional parts allow for mounting to a
variety of ceiling types and heights. See the SM-PROJ-XL Mounting Accessory Guide (included in the box)
for more information.
