Installation

WARNING: Before commencing installation, the wall structure must be examined to determine if it is suitable

for the proper installation and support of this product. If needed, the installer should reinforce the wall.

Drywalls should have a minimum thickness of 1/2 inch and a maximum thickness of 5/8 inch.

Improper installation of this product could lead to serious injury.

NOTE: Check local building standards and codes to verify that the installation meets regulatory requirements.

Observe all local and national building, electrical, and safety codes, UL requirements, and ADA accessibility

guidelines.

The location and type of wall where the USFM 100 is to be installed should be identified before starting installation. This determines the installation method and the type of fasteners used to secure the plate to the wall.

Recommended installation tools

• Level (24 inch) • Ladder • Tape measure • Stud finder • Drill and drill bits • Phillips screwdriver

• Allen hex wrenches (5/64, 3/32, and 5/32 inch sizes)

1. Mount the Base Plate

NOTE: Before installation, see the user manual for the display device to determine the proper location and

placement of the mount. Take into consideration the projector lens offset, screen size, screen aspect, and

projected image throw distance. See page 8 for the dimensions of the USFM 100 (with the projector pipe and

UPB 25 attached) to aid in this determination

a. At the desired site, use an edge-to-edge stud finder to locate the center of the wall studs (wood or steel).

Mark each stud location.

NOTE: For secure installation, it is required to attach the base plate to two wall studs, using a minimum of

four securing points. Drywall toggles can be used for holes that are not aligned with studs (see figure 3).

This product is not intended to be mounted solely to drywall.

b. Hold and level the base plate against the wall. Mark a minimum of four positions (two top, two bottom)

using either the mounting slots or the keyholes (slots uppermost) that are on the stud lines (see the + marks

in figure 2). Where applicable, mark the mounting holes on the wall for drywall toggles.
