Installation

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 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.

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

Ceiling Mounting (Inverted)

space for projector and audience, you can invert the Vision 140/150 and suspend it from the

 

ceiling using a specially-designed ceiling mount fixture.

 

Note

Use only the Vidikron-approved ceiling mount kit (part number

 

956-0096-00 or equivalent) 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).

 

 

If the Vision 140/150 is ceiling-mounted and the screen is significantly lower than the

projector, you can tilt the projector at an angle by adjusting the ceiling mount.

Angle

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 3-8.

Figure 3-8. 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 63.
