continue with the directions below for either wood or masonry ceiling material mounting.
Warning! When installing the ceiling plate:
Do not over-tighten any fasteners used to mount to the ceiling plate. Over-tightening could cause
damage to the fasteners, reducing their rated holding strength and increasing the possibility of failure.
Damage to the mount or projector due to improper installation of fasteners is not covered under warranty.

B. Concrete Ceiling Instructions
Warning! For Concrete or Cinder Block Mounting:
Cinder block must meet ASTM C-90 specications.
Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may
not hold concrete anchor. Verify that there is a minimum of 1-3/8” of concrete
thickness to be used for the included concrete wall anchors.
Do not drill into mortar joints! Be sure to mount in a solid part of the block,
generally 1” minimum from the side of the block.
It is suggested that a standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the
hole instead of a hammer drill to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when
entering a void or cavity.
Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of
the equipment and all attached hardware and components.
