• Structural Strength: The mounting structure must support five times the combined weight of all equipment.
• Pipe Requirement: Must be mounted to a 1-1/2" NPT or NPSM (Schedule 40, 0.154" minimum thickness steel or aluminum) threaded extension column.
• Environment: For indoor use only.

Installation: VCT Mount to Extension Column

1. Loosen and remove the set screw from the VCT mount.
2. Thread the VCT mount onto the existing 1-1/2" NPT pipe until tight, ensuring at least four threads are engaged.
3. Ensure the side of the VCT mount with two knobs is parallel to or opposite the screen.
4. Tighten the set screw into the threaded collar to prevent movement.

Installation: HCU Interface Bracket to Projector

1. Maneuver the interface legs on top of the projector so that sliding stud brackets are positioned towards the middle of the projector.
2. Ensure the attachment points are located over threaded holes in the projector.
3. Select the correct screws and spacers from the hardware kit.
4. Attach the legs to the projector. A minimum of four legs must be used.
