SMART LightRaise Installation and User's Guide 11
Installation Overview
The SMART LightRaise projector mount should be installed by a qualified service technician
and an assistant.
A qualified service technician includes:
•
your SMART reseller
•
SMART technical staff member
•
a qualified member of your staff familiar with the structure of the room
If you're installing a new SMART Board interactive whiteboard at the same time as the
console and boom, unpack the board and its accessories and check the contents against the
SMART Board Setup Instructions
. However, unless you've purchased only the console, don't
use the
SMART Board Setup Instructions
for setting up and mounting the board. Instead, use
the instructions in this guide. Also, don't use the wall bracket shipped with the SMART Board
interactive whiteboard, use the hanger bracket shipped with the LightRaise projector mount.
NOTE:
If you've purchased only the console, use the
SMART Board Setup Instructions
to
mount your board.
Installation should take two people approximately two to three hours.
Room Specifications
We recommend that you install the LightRaise projector mount in a room at least 6' x 10'
(1.8 m x 3.0 m)
with a ceiling of 96"
(244 cm)
. Although the product can be installed in a room
with a minimum ceiling height of 95"
(241 cm),
this installation would result in the top of the
SMART Board interactive whiteboard's writing surface being 77"
(196 cm)
from the floor and
the console being 1½"
(4 cm)
off the floor. Alternatively, you can mount the console beside the
whiteboard.
The LightRaise boom requires 1¾"
(4.5 cm)
between the ceiling and the top of the upper
boom bracket. If you are installing the product in a room with a ceiling of 95"
(241 cm)
, you
must lower the console bracket by 1"
(2.5 cm).
Ensure nothing hangs from the ceiling in a way that will interfere with the boom and the
projector.
The brackets supporting the LightRaise projector mount must be installed directly into either
concrete or studs. This guide provides installation instructions for walls made of concrete,
cinder blocks and supported walls with either wood or metal studs. If your wall is made of any
other material, such as brick and masonry, you should consult professionals with expertise in
that area. If this type of wall is unsupported, do not use the LightRaise projector mount. See
Wall Specifications and Mounting Information
on page 12.
If your chosen location doesn't meet these specifications, call SMART Technologies Inc. for
recommendations for your particular situation.
