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

INSPECT THE UNIT BEFORE INSTALLING

1. Carefully inspect the RPA for shipping damage. If any damage

is apparent, call your carrier claims agent and do not continue

with the installation until the carrier has reviewed the damage.

NOTE: Read all instructions before starting installation.

2. Lay out components to ensure you have all the required parts

before proceeding (see “PARTS” on page 8).

PREPARE THE CEILING

Because of the wide variety of possible mounting situations, Chief

Manufacturing can only provide general guidelines for installation.

Study the following information carefully, and adapt it as necessary

to fit your specific installation.

WARNING: Be especially aware of the weight of the equipment, and the potential for personal injury or of damage to the

equipment if it is not adequately mounted.

The “General Guidelines” below and the information on the follow-

ing pages cover the most common mounting situations:

• Suspended from a 1 1/2” diameter NPT threaded pipe secured to a structural cross brace in the ceiling.

• Standard fasteners secured to a wood framing member.

• Suspended from threaded rods that are secured to the structural cross brace

General Guidelines

• Carefully determine the position of the mount, and its distance from the screen. This will require knowing the lens to screen

distance (see projector specifications for set-up).

WARNING: Improper installation can result in serious personal injury! To avoid such injury, make sure that the ceil-

ing structural members can support a redundant weight factor five times the total weight of the equipment you intend

to support overhead. If they cannot, the ceiling must be reinforced before you install the mount.

Instruction Manual RPA

RPA INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

There are three methods for installing the RPA Series LCD/DLP

ceiling mount. The RPA can be suspended from a 1 1/2” diameter

NPT threaded pipe, standard fasteners secured to a wood framing

member, or threaded rods.

WARNING: Improper installation can cause serious personal

injury! Make sure that the ceiling structural members can

support a redundant weight factor five times the total

weight of the equipment you intend to support overhead.

The ceiling must be reinforced before you install the RPA if

the ceiling cannot support a redundant weight factor five

times the total weight of the equipment.

1 1/2” Diameter NPT Threaded Pipe

Installation using a 1 1/2” diameter schedule 40 steel pipe section

with 1 1/2” NPT threads requires securing the pipe to the building

structure. We suggest the use of a Chief CMA ceiling plate to

secure the pipe to a structural member (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).

Install the RPA on the pipe as follows:

1. Thread the RPA onto the pipe a minimum of 1/2” to allow for

final yaw adjustment.

2. Using Allen wrench provided, tighten the set screw to lock the

RPA in position (see Figure 3).

4. Proceed to “BRACKET ATTACHMENT PROCEDURES” on

page 6.

Standard Fasteners Secured to a Wood Framing Member

The RPA can be secured to a wood framing member through four

slotted holes in the ceiling bracket using four 1/4” diameter lag

screws or, if the area is accessible from above, four 1/4” diameter

machine bolts, nuts, and washers (see Figure 4). Install the RPA as

follows:

1. Secure the ceiling bracket to the wood framing member.

2. Proceed to “BRACKET ATTACHMENT PROCEDURES” on

page 6.

Threaded Rod

Using four 1/4” diameter threaded rods, the RPA can be secured to

a typical unistrut, angle or channel assembly at the overhead struc-

tural members (trusses or I-beams) (see Figure 5 and Figure 6).

Install the RPA as follows:

1. Secure one end of the threaded rod to the structural member.

2. Install a 1/4-20 jam nut on each threaded rod.

3. Install the RPA on the threaded rod.

NOTE: Holes in the RPA allow socket wrench access without

unit disassembly.

4. Secure the RPA to the threaded rod using four 1/4-20 nuts.
