How to install Chief KITMD003W Ceiling Mount for Projector
- Prepare the installation area: Before you begin, verify the ceiling structure can support the combined weight of the mounted projector (up to 25 lb) and hardware. Use a stud finder to locate joists or structural anchors, and clear the workspace to ensure safe, accurate mounting. Gather the included components (RSMAUW, CMS003W, CMS115W) and standard tools such as a drill, screwdriver, level, and a ladder.
- Attach the CMS003W ceiling plate: Secure the CMS003W mounting plate to the ceiling using appropriate anchors or bolts that align with the joists. Ensure the plate is perfectly level, as misalignment can affect projector tilt and image geometry. Tighten all fasteners to manufacturer-recommended torque to prevent movement.
- Install extension and adapter components: If your installation requires additional reach, affix the CMS115W extension components to the CMS003W plate according to the included hardware guidelines. This step allows you to accommodate ceiling height variations and achieve the desired throw distance for your projector setup.
- Attach the projector mounting interface: Mount the RSMAUW adapter to the projector’s mounting holes per the projector’s user manual and the RSMAUW hardware instructions. Double-check that the projector’s weight is supported by the interface and that all bolts are securely tightened.
- Mount the projector and finalize alignment: With the projector attached to the RSMAUW, lift and connect the assembly to the CMS003W/CMS115W framework. Adjust tilt, swivel, and height to align the image with the screen. Use a level and measure from the screen edges to confirm precise geometry. Route cables through the built-in channels or the designated cable management path to maintain a clean appearance.
- Safety check and testing: After securing everything, perform a final check of all fasteners and the overall stability of the mount. Power on the projector and verify image alignment, throw distance, keystone correction, and focus. Make minor adjustments as needed to ensure a crisp, correctly aligned projection without strain on the ceiling mount.
