Projector Placement Before installing the Gabor AccuGear, you will need to determine the projector’s placement and identify surrounding ceiling or wall supports for attachment. 1. Measure the width at the top of your projector’s screen, and locate the center. Make a mark above the center point. 2. Find your projector’s throw distance (check your projector’s manual). Use the throw distance measurement, and form a straight line from the mark you made in step 1.
Wood Studs Wood studs run vertically inside the wall or across the ceiling, behind the drywall or plaster. The plate must be mounted to a wood stud, or the plate could fall out and damage the projector or cause personal harm. Make sure the studs are at least 1.5 inches (38 mm) wide. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the wooden stud. Stud 1. 1.5 in. Drywall 2. Mark the centerline of the stud. X 3.
Concrete Warning! Make sure the concrete anchors are installed into solid concrete that is at least 8 inches (20 cm) thick. If concrete exhibits cracks or other defects, this may result in failure of the concrete anchors and cause serious personal injury or equipment damage. 1. Place the mounting plate at the location marked for your projector, and mark the spot of the two mounting plate holes for drilling. 2. Use a 5/16-inch (8 mm) concrete drill bit to make holes 2.
Attaching the Projector 1. Determine which screws (J, K, L, M, or N) to use with your projector. K, L, M,N J B G I A H 2. Loosen the projector mount’s arms with the hex key (I).
If your projector model has only three holes for mounting, then remove the fourth arm with the hex key (I). Warning! Do not use the projector mount with only two arms. 3. Slide the arms around the projector mount and along the arm’s shaft to position them over your projector’s mounting holes. Make sure the notch on the mount is as close to the center of gravity for your projector as possible. 4.
6. Slide the projector mount into the mounting plate’s flange, and secure it with the spring screw. Push the screw in, and rotate until secure. A B Secure the projector in the mounting plate with the included security screw (E). E Note: If you have a high ceiling, use a compatible 1.5 NPT extension column (not included). Refer to the instructions listed in Using the AccuGear with 1.5 NPT-Compatible Mounting Plates and Extension Columns below.
Adjusting the Projector’s Alignment You can easily change the projector’s viewing angles with the AccuGear’s dual-gear mechanism. With the simple pull and twist of a lever you can precisely adjust up to ±20° tilt and ±10° roll. In addition, you can swivel the projector 360° or ±15° for ideal viewing angles. Caution! Make sure to support the projector with one hand while making any adjustments. After altering the projector’s alignment, tighten all security screws to lock the projector’s position.

Cable Management For a clean look, you can run A/V and low-voltage power cables through the mounting plate. You may need to drill an extra hole in the wood or concrete support structure to fit the cables and connect them to the projector. Adjust the pitch, and run the cables through the mount as shown.
Using the AccuGear with 1.5 NPT-Compatible Mounting Plates and Extension Columns Use the AccuGear with other 1.5 NPT-compatible structural mounts or mounting plates as well as extension columns. Extend or suspend your projector from high ceilings with hardware such as the Gabor SCP-770 Suspended Ceiling Mounting Plate (sold separately), which includes a 1.5 NPT extension column needed for attachment. 1. Attach a 1.5 NPT extension column to your compatible mount. 3.
