Mounting
There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen
installation, one method may be more suitable than another. In typical front and rear
screen installations the projector can be mounted to a secure and level surface, such as
a table or cart. Carts are useful when the projector has to be moved during a
presentation or from site to site. It is recommended you lock the wheels on a cart,
when it’s in position, to prevent someone from accidentally moving it during a
presentation.
CEILING MOUNT
- The projector can also be inverted and suspended from the ceiling
using a specially designed ceiling mount fixture. This type of mounting is
recommended for fixed installations and for those that want the projector out of plain
view or have a limited amount of space for projector and audience. For more
information, contact your dealer.
Use only the CHRISTIE approved ceiling mount kit designed for your
projector. Refer to the installation instructions and safety guidelines
provided in the kit
.
SPECIAL MOUNTING –
The projector can be rotated (front-to-back) up to 360 degrees
and mounted without it affecting performance. However, the side-to-side tilt limit of
the projector must not exceed
±
15 degrees. This tilt limit is required to ensure optimal
performance of the projector.
STACKING –
An optional stacking frame is available for all models which allows
stacking up to a maximum of three projectors in an upright or inverted orientation.
Refer to the instructions provided in the Stacking Frame kit (104-117101-01) for
details regarding the assembly.
Adjusting projector height
You can modify the height of the projector to remedy a slightly uneven mounting
surface by adjusting the two feet threaded into the bottom chassis. Turn each foot
clock-wise or counter-clockwise until the project is level on all sides.
Folded Optics
In rear screen applications where space behind the projector is limited, a mirror may
be used to fold the optical path. See Figure 2.5. The position of the projector and
mirror must be accurately set – if considering this type of installation call your dealer
for assistance.
