Introduction
Overview
This guide covers the installation of the Extron PoleVault IP System in a drop ceiling room
with a wood or concrete structural ceiling. If the location has a concrete or beam style
ceiling, alternative ceiling mounts can be obtained separately from Extron.
It is assumed that the installer has some knowledge and experience of AV, electrical,
or electronic device installation. This guide takes the AV installer through the steps for
installation and connection of each of the system component parts.
It may be that the locations for the devices (for example, wall plates, projector, and screen)
have been pre-determined. However, some room installation examples are given to help in
installations where final location is yet to be determined.
The PoleVault IP System
Extron PoleVault IP Systems are easy-to-use, network-enabled, all-inclusive packages,
making them ideal for single-projector classrooms. PoleVault IP Systems use economical
twisted pair cables for transmitting signals and include network connectivity for Web-based
asset management, monitoring, and control.
NOTES:
information, installation, set-up, and configuration instructions, and should be
referred to as needed.
• For operation and setup of the projector, screen, and input devices, refer to the
relevant manufacturer manuals supplied with those devices.
This video is also a step by step guide to installing PoleVault System and is useful
for first-time installations.

Before You Begin — Planning the Installation
Before installation is started, you must be consider several major factors to ensure that the
installation process is as smooth and trouble free as possible, and so that the final finished
project meets the needs of the customers, users, audiences, and installer.
The installation considerations on the following pages, though not comprehensive, should
be consulted to help ensure that key installation aspects have been considered.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance
When planning where to install the Polevault System, you may need to consider factors
affecting accessibility of the system such as the height of devices from the floor (for example
the MLC controller), distance from obstructions, and how far a user must reach to press any
device buttons.
For guidelines, see sections 307 (“Protruding Objects”) and 308 (“Reach Ranges”) of the
2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design available at http://www.ada.gov/regs2010/2

1. — Mark Screen Location
TIPS:
• When marking the location of screens,
devices, or the site for installing
transmitters and MediaLink control
devices, use painters tape to avoid wall
surface damage.
Mark the screen location.
Ä
• When marking the center line of the
screen, where possible, keep it aligned
with the center of the ceiling tile. This
makes the projector installation and
alignment easier.
a. Mark the center line and the outer edges of the
screen.
b. Mark any structural studs, utility pipes, conduits,
or fire breaks before drilling the hardware holes.
Do not drill the holes yet.
2. — Install Projector to Verify Location
a. Remove the ceiling tiles at the location, and
mark the maximum and minimum throw
distances on the T-frame.See the projector
installation manual for more information.
Minimum/Maximum
Throw Distance Marks
TIP: For ease of working on the T-frame
remove the adjacent tiles.
b. Place the PCM 340 over the T-frame, between
the two marks. Lightly tighten the T-frame
securing screws. The T-frame screws can be
used on the outside or the inside to secure the
PCM to the T-frame.
PCM 340
Place the PCM 340 on the T-bar
É
NOTE: Place the PCM 340 on the T-frame
so that the pipe adapter slides left to right
in relation to the proposed screen location,
rather than towards and away from it. This
makes it easier to align and center the
image.

c. Slide the slotted pipe up into the pipe adapter.
Adjust to the desired height and align the
location holes and pipe holes. Insert the location
screw, lightly tightening it down using a
5/32 inch hex wrench. Insert and lightly tighten
down the set screws onto the pipe. Do not
overtighten. The pipe is removed and replaced
later during installation.
Align Pipe holes with
location screw holes.

the mounting points. Use a blanket or a
similar item under the projector to protect the
projector and the surface.
Rotate the barrel
until it just protrudes
below the arm.
ii
ii. On each arm, rotate the barrel (on the end
of the arm) so that it only just protrudes from
the base of the arm (see the figure at right).
ATTENTION:
iii. Select the correct sized mounting screws and
the appropriately sized washers that fit the
projector mounting point inserts.
iv
Ü
iv. To attach the arms to the projector:
The next step is critical as it provides a
flat surface for the bracket to sit on, and
must be done for each mounting point.
Place washer on
mounting point.
•
•
•
Place a washer on a mounting point (see
the figure at right).
Position the arm so the barrel is over the
washer.
Mounting Point
on Projector Base
Insert the mounting screw down through the
barrel and washer, and into the threaded insert
(mounting point). Lightly tighten the screw by
hand.
This is critical as it provides a flat surface
for the bracket to sit on.
NOTE: If using the 3- or 4-millimeter
screws, place an additional small washer
under each screw head, on top of the
barrel, as well as one on the top of the
mounting point.
v. Repeat step iv for all projector mounting
Place the washer Align the barrel Insert the screw
points.
