Dear customer!
Projector holders allow a projector to be secured to different mounting surfaces and locations
(e.g. wall or ceiling).
It is important that you understand the functions of your projector holder and projector before
starting to mount it. Different functions can affect the mounting location.
When mounting the projector there are a few important safety instructions which must be
observed. For this reason, please read the following sections carefully.
General
• A projector holder is not a toy. For this reason, keep the product out of the reach of children.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly as it could become a dangerous
toy for children.
• Selecting an unsuitable installation location can lead to injury or material damage!
• The projector holder is only designed for use in a protected indoor area, unless otherwise
stated.
• Proceed with care when assembling and installing the product! The product has some sharp
edges. There is a risk of injury!
• Only carry out work on the projector holder that is necessary in order to install it (or to change
its location). Never dismantle the projector holder and never attempt to convert it or to repair
it in any way. Projector holders may contain highly pre-stressed metal springs. Dismantling
such a projector holder in the wrong way could result in severe injury!
• Before beginning the installation process, check whether there are appropriate mounting
options for a projector holder on your projector. If not, then it may be necessary to seek the
advice of an expert.
• Before mounting, place the projector on a soft, clean surface to protect it.
• When xing the projector holder to the projector, make absolutely certain that you use the
correct screws. Not only must these be of the correct thread type - they must also not be
too long.
• The screws must not be too short, however, otherwise the connection will not be secure. The
screws must be screwed into the threaded xture holes with at least 5 full 360° turns.
The correct screws are usually supplied together with the projector holder or with the projector.
Occasionally, however (depending on the projector type), other screws are required; these
can be purchased from specialist retailers.
Do not use any force when tightening the screws; otherwise the projector may be destroyed,
leading to loss of warranty/guarantee!
If you are in any doubt about the correct length of the screws required, we recommend that
you contact an appropriate specialist.
• It is a good idea to get a second person to help with the installation.
• Apply your full concentration when carrying out the installation, because if the projector and/
or projector holder were to fall, this could cause expensive damage to the equipment and
there is the risk of personal injury!
• Lay all the projector’s cables in such a way that they do not get jammed or kinked in the
projector holder.
• Check all the screw ttings from time to time (approximately every 3 months). Adjusting the
position of the projector and/or the projector holder and moving them can sometimes cause
the screws to become loose over time.
• Do not exert any force when moving/adjusting the projector and/or projector holder, as this
could damage the projector.
• Do not overload the projector holder. Pay attention to the details provided by the
manufacturer for the maximum projector weight and/or its size.
• Do not use the projector holder to support yourself or to hold onto.
• Do not x any objects to the projector holder other than the projector for which it was intended.
• If you are in any doubt, do not carry out the installation yourself; ask a qualied person to
do it for you.
• Projectors generate heat. This is a re hazard! Take the necessary precautions for heat
dissipation and re prevention. Certain surfaces can be damaged or become discoloured
due to heat dissipation. Take the necessary protective measures.
Mounting
The following information is relevant for projector holders that must be
mounted on a vertical or horizontal wall.
• Mounting is permissible only where the wall or ceiling concerned is of the correct type and
condition. Lightweight partition walls or those made from gypsum boards are normally
unsuitable. However, specialist retailers do sometimes stock special dowel ttings for such
installation locations. If you are in doubt, ask a specialist before installation.
Depending on the base wall material (e.g. concrete), suitable mounting materials must be
used (screws, dowels, etc.); these are not normally supplied with the projector holder!
Due to the weight of the projector and projector holder and the lever action involved, ensure
that the screws are xed securely.
• Plan the installation location carefully, so that the projector holder with the projector xed to it
will be situated at the correct height when you have nished.
• Use a spirit level to assist you with the mounting process.
• Make certain when drilling and tightening the screws that no cables or pipes are damaged.
Inadvertently drilling through electric cables can cause a fatal electric shock!
Pay special attention to your safety when using electrical tools (e.g. a drill). Wear safety
goggles.
• Ensure that nobody is situated underneath the mounted projector.
