Pole Mount for Drop Tile Ceiling Mount

Ensure the ceiling structure is capable of holding at least four times the combined weight of the mount, pole

and projector. This is a minimum requirement; follow any local or state codes that apply to your specific area.

If you are mounting the PCM in a facility with a drop tile ceiling, your system should include a PLMT-T Top Pan

and a threaded 2” diameter pole. Display Devices Inc offers adjustable poles in 1-2 ft, 2-4 ft and 3-6 ft. lengths

as well as fixed pole cut to your specified length.

1. Mount PLMT-T Top Pan (1) to structural ceiling. If appropriate points do not exist, span beams with structural

channel and attach Top Pan to channel. Use 3/8” or 1/2” hardware.

2. Screw Lock Ring (2) onto threaded pole (4). If using a Display Devices Inc PLMT-Adjustable pole (3), extend

to full length. Screw threaded pole into PLMT-T Top Pan – tighten Lock Ring to prevent the pole from

turning. Screw another Lock Ring onto the bottom of the pole.

3. Determine the location where the pole will protrude through the ceiling tile. Carefully cut a hole in the ceiling

tile for the pole. Position the tile within the ceiling grid. Depending upon your ceiling, the tile may have to be

positioned within the grid prior to inserting the Pole into the PLMT-T. Adjust vertical elevation if using an

adjustable pole, tighten hardware, drill a hole with included bit and install set screw.

4. If the PCM has an interface plate, attach it to the projector with included hardware. If the PCM does not

provide an interface plate, attach the PCM directly to the projector.

5. Thread the PCM onto the pole turning in a clockwise manner – hand tighten. Tighten the lower Lock Ring

with a large wrench or tap with a screwdriver on the notches.

6. Route power and signal cables through the Top Pan then down the center of the pole exiting through the

PCM mount. Attach power and signal cables to the projector, turn projector on.

7. Loosen tilt adjustment screws and level the projected image to the screen. Tighten screws when a level

image is achieved.

Loosen pitch adjustment screws and adjust the pitch angle of the projector. Tighten screws when at desired

projection position.
