Chief CMS0608 Mounting Bracket Maximum Load Capacity 186.62 kg

CMS Speed-Connect Adjustable Extension Columns lower a projector or similar equipment to the desired height. The column provides up to 2' of adjustment range in 1" increments (available in lengths from 6" to 12'), and is constructed from aluminum to reduce installation weight and shipping costs. The assembly includes a set screw for added stability and features 1 1/2" NPT threaded ends for attachment to compatible ceiling plates or accessories. The column is designed so its length can be adjusted without disassembly. Note: the bracket increases installed weight by 6 lbs (2.7 kg) and adds 0.94" (24 mm) of depth; verify that the additional weight does not exceed the mount's capacity.

Advantages

The aluminum construction reduces overall installation weight and simplifies handling while maintaining structural strength. Threaded 1 1/2" NPT ends ensure compatibility with standard ceiling plates and accessories. Built-in set screw improves stability after adjustment, and the tool-free length adjustment concept eliminates the need to disassemble the column for height changes.

• Lowering projectors or AV equipment to a specific ceiling height
• Installations requiring fine height adjustment in 1" increments
• Ceiling-mounted displays where reduced shipping and handling weight is desired

How to use

Attach the adjustable extension column to a compatible 1 1/2" NPT ceiling plate or accessory by threading the column into the mating connection. Adjust the column length to the required height using the incremental adjustment feature, then secure the position with the included set screw to prevent movement. Ensure connections are tight and that the combined weight of the mounted equipment and the column does not exceed the supporting mount's rated capacity.

Recommendations

Verify the mount and supporting structure capacity before installation; account for the additional weight and depth added by the column. Use with compatible 1 1/2" NPT ceiling plates or accessories and follow all local installation codes and manufacturer mounting instructions.
