3.6 Mounting the

VX-40d/-50d/-60d/ -80d

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen installation, one method may be more suitable than another.

Floor Mounting ➤	In typical front and rear screen installations, the projector can be placed on a secure and
	level surface such as a table or cart. Carts are useful when moving a projector during a
	presentation or from site to site. If possible, lock the wheels when it’s in position to prevent
	it from being moved during a presentation.
Ceiling Mounting ➤	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 sight or have a limited space for
	projector and audience.
	WARNING	Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your
		projector. Carefully read and follow the installation instructions
		provided with the ceiling mount kit. Failure to do so could cause
		serious personal injury.
Adjusting the Projection ➤	If the VX-40d/-50d/-60d/-80d is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than
Angle	the projector, you can tilt the projector at an angle by adjusting the ceiling mount.

The projector can be rotated (front-to-back) up to 360 degrees and mounted without it affecting performance. However, to ensure optimal performance of the lamp, limit the side-to-side tilt of the projector to ±15 degrees; see Figure 3-7.

± 360º

± 15º

Figure 3-7. Mounting Angle Ranges (Front-to-Back and Side-to-Side)

For a floor (non-AutoScope) installation, turn the two adjustable feet on the bottom of the projector to adjust the projection angle.

If you do either of these things, you may need to make keystone adjustments or vertically shift the image using the on-screen display (OSD) controls, to compensate. For detailed instructions, refer to Using the On-Screen Menus on page 57.
