Chief Universal Projector Mount Kit - Black
Designed to simplify professional AV installations, the Chief Universal Projector Mount Kit - Black delivers a complete, preconfigured ceiling-mount solution that combines reliability, versatility, and speed. This all-in-one package brings together three essential components to form a cohesive mounting system that eliminates guesswork and reduces installation time. The universal projector mount (RPAU) provides broad compatibility with a wide range of projector brands and mounting patterns, while the extension column (CMS012018) offers precise vertical adjustment to achieve the perfect throw distance and image alignment. Completing the package, the suspended ceiling kit (CMS440) enables clean, secure mounting in drop-ceiling environments, delivering a discreet, professional look suitable for corporate conference rooms, classrooms, houses of worship, and high-end home theaters. The compact, black finish blends with most interiors, maintaining a low-profile aesthetic that keeps the focus on the projected image rather than hardware. By consolidating these components into a single, preconfigured solution, Chief’s kit reduces order complexity and minimizes compatibility concerns—so you can deploy a reliable projector setup with confidence, even in fast-paced environments where downtime is costly.

How to install Chief Universal Projector Mount Kit - Black
- Step 1: Plan and verify mounting location. Confirm ceiling structure (joists or appropriate anchors for a suspended ceiling) and check the projector’s mounting pattern to ensure the RPAU universal mount will fit securely.
- Step 2: Prepare the ceiling. If using CMS440 suspended ceiling kit, install the appropriate grid or mounting points to support the assembly. Ensure the drop ceiling area has clear access for cable routing and ventilation.
- Step 3: Attach the universal projector mount (RPAU) to the ceiling bracket or CMS440 hardware. Use the included hardware and follow the manufacturer’s torque guidelines to prevent slippage or vibration.
- Step 4: Install the extension column (CMS012018). Thread or secure the column to the RPAU, then position at the required height to achieve the desired throw distance. Tighten all fasteners securely and verify vertical alignment and stability.
- Step 5: Mount the projector to the RPAU using the projector’s mounting pattern. Align the projector until the image is square with the screen, then tighten the mounting screws. Route power and video cables through the CMS440 area or along the ceiling as appropriate, using cable management provisions to keep lines neat and unobstructed.
- Step 6: Make final image adjustments. Use the projector’s lens shift, keystone correction, or digital alignment features to ensure a perfectly square, clean image. Check for tilt and adjust as necessary for optimal picture quality.
- Step 7: Perform a functional test. Power up the system, verify focus and alignment from multiple seating positions, and confirm that the mounting remains secure after minor hand-adjustments.
- Step 8: Finalize safety checks. Ensure all locking mechanisms are engaged, cables are neatly routed, and there is no interference with occupants or ceiling panels. Confirm that the setup meets local safety and fire codes.
