Installing your interactive whiteboard system
W A R N I N G
Refer to your interactive whiteboard system's specifications (available at
l
smarttech.com/support) for its weight. Check your local building regulations to ensure that
your wall can support this weight and use appropriate mounting hardware for your wall
type.
If you are installing the interactive whiteboard system on drywall, use all the toggle bolts
l
included. If one of the bracket holes aligns with a wall stud, use appropriate hardware in
that hole instead of a toggle bolt.
C A U T I O N
If you're replacing a SMART Board 500 or 600 series interactive whiteboard with the
SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard on drywall, you must remove the wall-mount
bracket and mounting hardware and then install all the mounting hardware and brackets
supplied with your SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard instead.
To help ensure that your interactive whiteboard is mounted correctly, make sure that the colours
of the wall-mount hanger on the back of the interactive whiteboard and the wall-mount bracket are
the same.
Choosing a height
SMART includes a mounting template with each interactive whiteboard system. If you lose this
template, contact your authorised SMART reseller. Using this template ensures that you can do
the following:
Mount the projector at a safe height for head space clearance, whilst maintaining enough
l
space for airflow and installation access above the unit.
Position the projector at the correct height above your interactive whiteboard to align the
l
projected image with the touch screen.
Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor suitable for adults of average
height. You should consider the general height of your user community when you choose a
location for your interactive whiteboard.
