Dukane Projection System (DPS) Installation Guidelines CEILING SCREEN CAMERA SPEAKERS VCR/DVD PC 1. Determine or measure the screen width or diagonal which corresponds to your projector to find the maximum and minimum distance. This is the distance range from the screen to the front of the projector. Assure the projector lens is about 8 from the forward edge of the ceiling tile panel assembly. Identify the ceiling tile that provides a suitable mounting distance. Cable Location 2. Since the cables are 25 feet long, the installation should be planned so the cables will reach the desired equipment. The cables need to travel from the projector above the ceiling, and down the wall conduit to the VCR, Camera and the PC. Note: Check out Dukane s Projection Distance Calculator at: www.dukcorp.com/av to determine your throw distance or screen size. Audio Visual Products 401-576-06
Before You Start Read these instructions all the way through before installation. Mount only the projector recommended by Dukane for your ceiling mount model. Maximum projector weight 15lbs. Be sure that the Plenum cable installation meets with local building code. Be aware that building codes vary by county across the United States. If necessary check your local code to assure correct installation. A) Panel assembly B) Projector Plate C) 35 ft. VGA plenum cable* D) 35 ft.

INSTALLATION The ceiling mount assembly installs directly into a suspended ceiling metal frame structure. It will replace the standard 2 X 2 ceiling tile or 2 X 4 ceiling tile with a 2 X 2 ceiling tile and a cross tee (included with kit. ). The assembly is supported by four 12 gauge support wires, (G) that attach from the corners of the panel to the permanent ceiling structure above the suspended ceiling. 1Remove two 2 x2 suspended ceiling tiles or one 2 X4 tile. Observe building ceiling structure above the suspended ceiling. From one of the two open tiles, determine how and where to attach the 12 Ga. support wires, (G) to the main building permanent ceiling structure. (see illustration below) Four lag bolts, (H) have been included for attachment to wooden beams. Attach four wires to the main ceiling structure; twist the wires tightly at least 6 times. Leave enough wire hanging through the false ceiling to get at least 6 tight turns when attached to the ceiling mounting panel. (I) Installing the Kensington Projector lock. Pass the cable through the permanent ceiling structure. Insert the lock end of the cable through the cable loop and pull the lock end down through the gromment in the ceiling plate. Lock the cable to the projector with the key provided. (see illustration below) STEEL CEILING BEAM WOOD CEILING BEAM (I) (G) Kensington Lock 2 Mount the projector mounting panel (B) to the ceiling mount assembly (A) using the four 10-32 X 3/8 phillips head screws (Q) and four lock washers. Insert the 2 threaded rods into the proper holes. Place plug buttons in unused holes. Place two flange nuts (R) on the two threaded rods with the flange towards the projection plate, swing the projector plate over the threaded rods and loosely apply the two remaining flange nuts with flange towards the projector plate on the studs. This will keep the projector plate from opening when placing the assembly in the suspended ceiling. B A Four Places (Q) Flange nuts (R) on both sides of plate
2 continued... Carefully lift the ceiling projection assembly into the suspended ceiling frame, install with the projector adjustment threaded rods with flange nuts toward the projection screen. Continue to support the panel while you attach the four support wires through holes provided at the edge of the panel. The wires should be taught when the ceiling mount is resting in the suspended ceiling structure. Twist each wire tightly a least 6 times. If a 2 X 4 ceiling tile was removed install the 2 cross T section, (K) supplied at this time by slipping tabs into slots in an suspension ceiling. NOTE: Be sure that the panel is securely fastened 3Install electrical power to panel. Have a qualified staff member assure that the electrical installation is adequate and conforms to all codes and ordinances. An electrical box, (J) outlet and mounting points are provided with the kit. 4Attach plastic conduit, (L) from ceiling to control desk using adhesive backing. Run cables through grommet hole provided in the ceiling mount panel, above the suspended ceiling over to the wall and down through the plastic wall conduit (raceway) provided in the kit. Plastic Conduit (L) 5 Remove the lower flange nuts and let the projector mounting plate swing down. Install projector using the three 4mm X 20mm screws (P) and # 8 lock washers supplied. Swing the projector mounting back into place and replace the lower flange nuts. 4mm x 20mm philips screws and #8 lock washers (three places) (P)
6Connect the cables and power source. Tie the power wire in place using wire ties provided. The cables from the projector, should be routed at the work station and connected to the equipment that is desired to produce the necessary pictures. The PC has a 15 pin VGA connector, Camera 101 has an RCA connector that plugs into the RCA side of the S-video adapter (F). The S-video cable (D) then transmits the signal to the projector. The VCR uses the composite cable (E) that has RCA connectors. For additional connection information see the projector user manual. 7Turn the projector on, focus and adjust picture size (with zoom len). Adjust the picture position and tilt using the upper adjustment flange nuts.(r) Lock in position using the flange nuts at the front of the projection plate. Flange nuts (R) 8When projector relamping and/or cleaning of the air filters is required, remove the two lower flange nuts to allow the projector plate to swing down as shown in the following picture. After servicing, swing the projector plate back up into position and replace the nuts. Note, the projector returns back to it s original position and no further adjustment is required. Finished Installation
Audio System Installation Currently two audio configurations are available with the projector system. One consist of two self powered speakers that can be placed in the room near the DVD/VCR player. The other option is a amplifier that drives a ceiling mounted speaker array. The audio output is provided by the DVD/VCR unit which has two RCA connectors labeled Audio Out. The cable with RCA connectors plugs into these two jacks. The other end is connected to the 2 RCA jacks on the rear of the amplifirer at the AUX connector, or to the RCA to mini phone adapter which is used to connect the cable to the powered speakers. If an amplifier and ceiling speaker array is employed a lenth of 2 conductor plenum grade speaker cable is also included. The cable connects the ampilifer output ( Com and 4 ohm) to the ceiling mounted array. Speaker array installed in a typical 2 x 2 ceiling panel 50 ft Speaker wire 2 conductor plenum cable Important! Attach speaker safety cable to ceiling grid support. This safety cable must be sufficiently anchored! Attach speaker wire to Com and 4 ohm terminals in the Output section Audio Amp, 15 Watt RCA jacks for inputs. Use AUX jack for the input from the cable. Back of amplifier Installation of the Speaker Array and the amplifier have owners manuals which explains the operation, hook-up and installation of the units.
