Installation

3.6

There are several methods for mounting the projector. Depending on your chosen

Mounting the

installation, one method may be more suitable than another.

VX-44d/-55d

 

 

Floor Mounting (Upright)

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 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

For fixed installations, and for those that want the projector out of sight or have a limited

(Inverted)

space for projector and audience, you can invert the VX-44d/-55d and suspend it from

 

the ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.

 

Note

Use only the Runco-approved ceiling mount kit designed for your

 

projector. Install the mount kit according to the instructions

 

 

provided with it.

 

The projector can also be inverted and placed in an enclosure above and behind the

 

viewing area. Install four feet on the inside bottom surface of the enclosure on which the

 

projector can rest. A variety of materials can be used for this purpose (for example, rubber

 

crutch tips or turntable feet).

Adjusting the Projection

If the VX-44d/-55d is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the

Angle

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 61.
