SMART LightRaise - Supported Projectors; Room Dimensions and Requirements

2 SMART LightRaise Installation and User's Guide
The LightRaise mount is easily installed by a qualified service technician, who may be a
SMART Technologies Inc. technical staff member or your SMART reseller, or any member of
your own staff qualified to perform the installation.
The LightRaise projector mount requires little maintenance. Its presence makes working
with a SMART Board interactive whiteboard easier. Since your projector doesn't get
jostled, you don't need to repeatedly perform an orientation procedure on your interactive
whiteboard.
The features of the LightRaise projector mount include:
•
a built-in audio system with two speakers
•
a wireless infrared (IR) keyboard
•
easy access to your internal computer, VCR or DVD player
•
easy access to the control panel, which contains projector and volume controls
•
a control system for all your cable connections
•
all cables required to connect your projector, SMART Board interactive whiteboard,
internal computer, VCR or DVD player, and external computer
•
a hinged boom for easy access to the projector
•
tamper-resistant fasteners and a locking console to secure your equipment
Supported Projectors
SMART Technologies Inc. has tested various projectors with the LightRaise boom. Our
requirements include projector weight, throw distance and minimal tilt of the SMART
Board whiteboard in order to get a clear, square projected image. An up-to-date listing of
supported projectors is available on our Web site in the Specifications section for the
LightRaise product (www.smarttech.com/lightraise).
NOTE:
The projectors used with the LightRaise projector mount are smaller and generate
more heat than larger models. If your projected image quality deteriorates after the
LightRaise mount has been in use, check the projector's power or status indicator. If it is
flashing, turn the LightRaise console off for approximately five minutes to give the
projector a chance to cool down. Consult your projector's user manual for information on
how to interpret its power and status indicators.
Room Dimensions and Requirements
The LightRaise projector mount is designed for a room at least 6' x 10'
(1.8 m x 3.0 m)
with a
ceiling of 96"
(244 cm)
. In addition, 42"
(183 cm)
of wall space width is required to
accommodate the SMART Board interactive whiteboard. If anything hangs from the ceiling,
ensure it won't interfere with the boom and the projector.
If your chosen location doesn't meet these dimensions or requirements, see pages 11–12 for
more alternatives or call SMART Technologies Inc. for recommendations.
