Installing your interactive whiteboard system
6
Choosing a height
SMART includes a mounting template with each interactive whiteboard system. If you lose this
template, contact your authorised SMART reseller. Using this template ensures that you can do
the following:
l
Mount the projector at a safe height for head space clearance, whilst maintaining enough
space for airflow and installation access above the unit.
l
Position the projector at the correct height above your interactive whiteboard to align the
projected image with the touch screen.
Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor suitable for adults of average
height. You should consider the general height of your user community when you choose a
location for your interactive whiteboard.
Securing the projector to the boom
To learn how to secure the SMART UF70 or SMART UF70w projector to the boom, see the
SMART Board M600i6 interactive whiteboard system installation guide
included
(
).
Routeing the cables
If your interactive whiteboard uses one mounting bracket, make sure that all projector cables
pass along the top of the bracket and then down the side of the interactive whiteboard.
If your interactive whiteboard uses two mounting brackets, make sure that all projector cables
pass between the brackets. Space your wall-mounting brackets 10.2cm (4") apart to provide full
support for the weight of your interactive whiteboard.
I M P O R T A N T
Do not connect the power cable to a power socket until you have connected all the cables to
the projector and interactive whiteboard.
