Cyclovator Tilt Kit
Cyclone enclosures are often used on video mapping projects where the angle of the projected
beam needs to be more than the projector’s lens shift range. The Cyclovator Tilt Kit allows the
projector to be tilted up to 80˚up or down, and then returned to horizontal for servicing.

IT IS A SAFETY REQUIREMENT that the projector only be slid out of the enclosure for
service when the enclosure is horizontal. Many of the projectors used in Cyclone
enclosures are very heavy, and it is DANGEROUS to slide them when the enclosure is
set at an angle.
Installing the Cyclovator
1. Cyclovator must be bolted securely to a solid structure or a concrete pad, using ½” or M12
stainless steel hardware. Four fixing holes are provided in the Cyclovator base.
2. The Cyclone enclosure bolts to the Cyclovator using six 5/16” stainless steel bolts
provided. The bolts drop through the enclosure base and screw into threaded inserts in
the Cyclovator arm.
3. Using the hand crank, adjust the Cyclovator to the desired angle for the projection show.
4. Loosen the set screw and slide the locking collar on the threaded rod to make contact
with the Acme nut in the Cyclovator arm, and tighten the set screw. This is the show
position stop.
5.
Now you can lower the enclosure to horizontal for service and return it accurately to the
show position.
