In some cases a computer projector in the classroom is set on a desk or table in the front of the room. But when a projector is in the front of the classroom, it can sometimes give off a back light that distracts from the presentation. The way to solve the problem is to mount the projector somewhere towards the back of the classroom. There are a couple of ways to mount a computer projector in a classroom, but one of the popular ways is to mount it overhead.
Instructions
1. Lower the screen that you will be using. Do not worry about trying to find the right spot in the ceiling to install the mounting kit, as the kit can adjust to wherever you want to put the projector. You will need a helper who can assist you in aiming the projector and holding the projector in place while you determine the installation point of the mounting bracket. Make sure the projector is easily accessible for maintenance, repair or replacement.
2. Install the mounting bracket in the spot you have determined. Make sure that the projector is installed as far to the back of the classroom as possible and as high as possible to keep it clear of traffic. Mounting it in the back of the room near the wall also allows you to run cables in a place where they will not become a tripping hazard. Follow the installation instructions on your mounting kit closely and be very careful during this installation. Have the helper to assist you.
3. Secure the bracket in place and position the projector in place on the bracket.
4. Run VGA cables from the back of the projector, up through the drop ceiling and down the back wall. If you do not have a drop ceiling in your classroom, attach the cables to the back wall with a small cable loop to be sure that they are out of the way.
5. Be certain to coil your cables and keep them out of the way when the projector is not in use.
