Before Installing Your SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard System
Choose a location for your SMART Board interactive whiteboard system that’s far from bright light sources,
such as a window or overhead lighting. Bright light sources can cause distracting shadows on the interactive
whiteboard and reduce the contrast of the projected image.
Locate a wall with a flat, regular surface and minimum clearance to accommodate your interactive whiteboard
system. Make sure that the Unifi 45 projector and the SMART Board interactive whiteboard are both installed
on a flat surface relative to each other. For best presentation alignment, SMART recommends that you mount
your interactive whiteboard system in a location that is central to your audience’s viewing direction. For mobile
installation or adjustable installation options, contact your
authorized SMART reseller.
Recommended Heights for Mounting
SMART includes a mounting template with each of its Unifi 45 projector retrofit kits. If you lose this template,
contact your authorized SMART reseller. Using this template ensures that you:
• mount the Unifi 45 projector at a safe height for head-space clearance, while maintaining
enough space for airflow and installation access above the unit. See step 3 of the text-less installation guide
included with your product.
• position the projector at the correct height above the interactive whiteboard to make sure
that the projected image aligns with the interactive screen.
Dimensions on the template recommend a distance from the floor that is suitable for adults of average height.
Although you should consider the general height of your user community when you choose a position
for the interactive whiteboard, consult your local regulations before mounting the unit.
IMPORTANT
Using the Unifi 45 projector system near a TV or radio might cause interference to the images
or audio sound. If this happens, move the TV or radio away from the projector.
WARNING
When mounting the projector on a framed wall, you must attach both the mounting bracket
and safety tether to a stud to safely support the projector’s weight. If you use only drywall
anchors, the drywall can fail, resulting in product damage and possible personal injury.
WARNING
If the two screws supporting the safety strap are removed, the projector boom will be free
to swing. Make sure that these two screws are tightened and never remove them from the unit
without supporting the projector boom first.
