3.

  Securely connect the projector assembly to the ceiling mount and then adjust the projector and 

ceiling mount to center the projector's image in the horizontal center of your screen.   
 

4.

  Install ceiling hooks (not supplied) into the ceiling directly above the Plate Hooks.  

The ceiling 

hooks should be small enough to accept a Chain End but strong enough when installed to 
each support 40 pounds or more.

  

 

5.

  Attach a Chain End to the Chain and then connect to one of the ceiling hooks.  Cut the Chain and 

assemble to another Chain End for a best fit to the corresponding Plate Hook and attach.  Repeat for 
the other set of hooks. 
 

6.

  Adjust and tighten the nuts on the Plate Hook Assemblies to make the Chains tight but without 

raising the front of the Attachment Plate.  You may wish to turn the projector on to ensure the image 
remains properly oriented to the screen during this step.  At this point, proceed to the appropriate 
lens/transport mounting step. 
 

 
MOUNTING THE ATH AUTOMATED TRANSPORT  

 

1.

 

DO 

NOT

 CONNECT POWER TO THE TRANSPORT AT THIS TIME. 

 

2.

 

Position the flat side of the motorized 

transport against the bottom  of the 
Attachment Plate so that the transport logo is 
toward the screen and the center “C” hole in 
the Attachment Plate is aligned with the front 
recessed transport hole.  Insert the #10-32 
pivot screw up through the transport and 
Attachment Plate and loosely complete the 
assembly with the corresponding washer, lock 
washer and nut.  Now loosely insert the four 
#6-32 3/8” screws through the four “M” slots  
in the top of the Attachment Plate and down 
into the transport.  
 

3.

 

Remove the DC1 Lens Bracket from the box and refer to page 7 of the Owner’s Manual 

included in the ATH kit for details on installation.  The Lens Bracket should be oriented so that its fork 
arms face the screen.   

 

 
MOUNTING THE MTH MANUAL TRANSPORT

 

 

Installing without attachment kits.  

The MTH may be mounted to ceiling structures without using 

the AK8Pro attachment kit.  Two black #10x1¼” long mounting screws are included with the MTH for 
mounting through the centers of the two ceiling mount slots in the MTH body.  These centers should 
correspond to two mounting points in a secure platform in front of your projector so that the DC1 can 
be properly positioned in front of and as close to the projector lens as possible without mechanically 
interfering with the projector or its ventilation in either “lens in” or “lens out” positions.
