How to install Chief Universal Mini Elite Projector Mount - Black

Follow these general steps to install the Chief Universal Mini Elite Projector Mount securely and achieve optimal projection alignment. Always refer to the specific installation manual for your projector model and ceiling structure.

• Plan the installation: Determine the ideal mounting location on the ceiling that provides the best throw distance, image alignment, and access to power and input sources. Confirm the ceiling can support the combined weight of the projector and mount.
• Prepare mounting hardware: Gather the appropriate anchors, screws, and brackets compatible with your ceiling type and the mount’s mounting plate. Ensure you have the correct hardware for concrete, wood, or hollow ceilings as required.
• Attach the ceiling plate: Securely fasten the mount’s ceiling plate to the structural member using the provided hardware. Verify the plate is level and firmly anchored to prevent any movement over time.
• Attach the projector plate: Mount the projector’s bracket or mounting plate to the projector, following the projector’s VESA pattern and weight guidelines. Use standard bolts and spacers if needed to achieve a balanced fit.
• Mount and align the projector: Hang the projector from the ceiling mount, connect necessary cables, and adjust tilt, swivel, and roll to achieve a perfectly level image. Lock the adjustments once you reach the desired alignment and serviceability.
• Test and finalize: Power on the projector, run a test image, and verify keystone correction, focus, and edge-to-edge alignment. Cable management can be tidied using channels or clips if the install includes them.
