Operating Instructions

Adjusting Tilt, Roll, and Swivel

The BT882 mount allows for precise adjustment of your projector's angle to achieve the perfect projection:

• Tilt: The mount allows for +/-90° tilt. Loosen the appropriate adjustment screws (refer to the assembly diagram if needed) to tilt the projector up or down, then re-tighten.
• Roll: The mount offers +/-90° roll adjustment. This allows you to correct for any horizontal misalignment. Loosen the relevant screws, adjust the roll, and re-tighten.
• Swivel: A full 360° swivel is available. This allows you to rotate the projector horizontally. Loosen the swivel mechanism, rotate to the desired angle, and secure.

Always ensure all adjustment screws and levers are firmly tightened after making any changes to prevent accidental movement of the projector.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your mount:

• Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
• For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish.

Inspection

Periodically inspect the mount for any signs of wear or damage:

• Check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight and secure.
• Verify that the projector is still firmly attached to the mounting plate.
• Look for any cracks, bends, or deformities in the metal components.
• If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter:

Projector is not stable or sags:

• Ensure all mounting screws for the projector and the ceiling plate are fully tightened.
• Verify that the projector's weight does not exceed the mount's maximum capacity (10kg / 22lbs).
• Check the ceiling structure for adequate support.

Difficulty adjusting tilt/roll/swivel:

• Ensure the relevant adjustment screws or levers are sufficiently loosened before attempting to adjust.
• Do not force adjustments; if resistance is met, re-check the mechanism.

Mount feels loose on the ceiling:

• Re-tighten all screws securing the ceiling plate to the ceiling.
• If using wall anchors, ensure they are properly seated and not stripped. Consider using stronger anchors if necessary.
