How to install Chief RPM027 Inverted Custom Projector Ceiling Mount

• Prepare the installation area by locating ceiling joists or a suitable mounting surface capable of supporting your projector’s weight. If you’re unsure about load capacity, consult a professional installer before drilling or mounting.
• Attach the mounting plate or bracket to the joists using the provided hardware. Ensure the plate is level and securely fastened to prevent any tilt or sway after installation.
• Attach the inverted mounting arm or extension components to the ceiling plate. Adjust the arm length and orientation to position the projector approximately where you want the image on the screen, then tighten fasteners to lock in place.
• Mount the projector to the projector adapter or plate using the appropriate VESA pattern. Align the projector with the screen to achieve the desired throw and image alignment, then secure the projector with the included screws and locking hardware.
• Route power and signal cables through the integrated channels or behind the mounting system. Use cable ties or the built-in guides to maintain a tidy, professional appearance and to reduce cable strain on the connectors.
• Power on the system and perform image alignment. Use the projector’s settings to adjust focus, keystone, tilt, and throw to achieve a perfectly level image. Verify that the mount remains stable after initial adjustment and during routine use.
