before securing the wood screws (supplied).
Wood studs: Where denoted with the letter ‘A’, mark these
locations for wood stud installation.
NOTE: Use a masonry bit to pre-drill the mounting
holes in the concrete surface.
Concrete surface: Where denoted with the letter ‘B’, mark
these locations for concrete installation.
2. Use two (2) #14 x 2” wood screws (supplied) to attach the
ceiling plate to the wooden ceiling stud.
NOTE: For extra security, attach a third wood screw to the
middle mounting point (A).
3. Slowly raise the projector toward the upper assembly. Once

Concrete Mounting
NOTE: The MAG can be mounted to a ceiling with a minimum 6” thickness. Concrete wedge anchors must be used for concrete
installation. It is recommended that ¼” wedge anchors be used. A masonry bit must be used to drill the pilot hole. These
items can be purchased at your local hardware store.
1. Begin by placing the ceiling plate into position against the ceiling, keeping it level.
2. Mark off four holes to be used for securing the mount and place the ceiling plate aside.
3. Next, drill holes using the appropriate masonry bit for your anchor.
4. Insert a concrete anchor into each hole.
5. If necessary, a hammer can be used to lightly tap each anchor into place so that they are flush with the ceiling.
6. Once all of the anchors are in place, move the ceiling plate back into position.
7. Attach the nut onto the threaded shaft that is protruding from the ceiling.
8. Do not tighten until all nuts are in place.
