Installation To Wood Joist Ceilings
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all
attached hardware and components.
• Tighten wood screws so that projector mount assembly is firmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening
can damage the screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).
• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the stud. The use of an "edge to edge" stud finder
is highly recommended.
• When installing Peerless ceiling mounts on a wood joist/beam covered with gypsum board (drywall), verify that the
joists or beams are a minimum of 2" x 4" nominal size. Do not install over gypsum board thicker than 5/8".
Place projector mount assembly (A) on ceiling as a template and mark the center of the two mounting holes.

Make sure that the mounting holes are in the center of the wood joist. Drill two 5/32" (4mm) dia. holes to a
minimum depth of 2.5" (64mm). Attach projector mount assembly (A) with two #14 x 2.5" wood screws (F) and
two flat washers (E) as shown in figure 2.1 or figure 2.2 depending on joist orientation.
NOTE: Mounting slots on projector mount assembly allow for 30° (±15°) of swivel adjustment before fully securing
wood screws.
Tighten wood screws (F) using 3/8" (10mm) socket wrench, phillips screwdriver or 10mm open end wrench until
projector mount assembly (A) is firmly attached.
Skip to step 4.
