B - HANGING THE PROJECTOR LIFT
The VU-PRO projector lift is designed to mount recess into the ceiling, supported by four 3/8 diameter
threaded rods (not supplied) - see specification sheet. Dimension SP on the specification sheet is based
upon the 3/4 inch thick ceiling closure panel shipped with the unit.
NOTE: Optionally, installers may replace the ceiling closure panel with existing ceiling materials. An
example is a dropped ceiling material. The new ceiling closure panel must equal or larger than
the ceiling closure panel supplied.
If the new ceiling closure panel is thicker than 3/4 inch, adjust the SP dimension by the difference of the
two panels.
Each 3/8 diameter threaded rod should be secured by a pair of hex nuts as shown in Figure 1. The nuts
should be adjusted such that all four rods are sharing the load roughly equally, then the pairs tightened
against each other to securely lock the connection.
Determine the location for the projector lift, and
install per the following guidelines:
¾ Remove the ceiling closure panel and the
projector mounting plate to allow access
from the bottom – see 3D drawing.
¾ The lift should be level, with weight shared
roughly equally by the four threaded rods.
¾ It is recommended that the supporting
structure be able to carry at least four times
the total weight of the lift, including
projector weight.
¾ Access to control box should be provided in
case service is required. Optionally, the
control box can be rewired and relocated to a different location. Refer to the wiring diagram at the
end of this manual.
¾ Attach safety cables to the outer frame of the unit, and secure the cables to any nearby attachment
point that will be strong enough to catch the lift if it should fall.
¾ Do not use the lift to support other fixtures, such as lighting, fans, etc.
C - INSTALLING THE PROJECTOR
The lift should be hung prior to installing the projector. The next step is to make electrical connections to
the lift for operation. Referring to the Wiring Diagram, review the wiring diagram carefully and make
connections as required.
Lower the lift to the fully down position. Remove the projector mounting plate (3D drawing) if it wasn’t
removed. The projector mounting plate is located on the center of the traveling platform.
Determine the location of the projector and the mounting brackets (not supplied) onto the projector
mounting plate. Attach the projector mounting brackets to the projector mounting plate.
Note: The projector mounting brackets must have roll, pitch and yaw adjustments built-in. The
projector lift does not have these features.
