RPA Series
LCD/DLP
Ceiling Mount
The Chief RPA Series ceiling mounts provide a unique, sim-
plified method of ceiling mounting inverted LCD/DLP pro-
jectors. Chief's low profile design offers three easy
mounting methods (1 1/2"NPT, flush or threaded rod); roll,
pitch and yaw adjustment; a cable management system;
and custom designed brackets that allow quick projector
disconnect without loss of registration.
All Chief RPA Series ceiling mounts provide access for
quick lamp changes and easy filter cleaning without requir-
ing any disassembly. The mount is constructed of heavy
gauge steel and designed to ensure proper projector venti-
lation.
Fast and precise image registration is achieved through the
easy roll, pitch and yaw adjustments built into the RPA
mounts. Optional projector security is included by using the
All-Points™ Security kit
