Installing Your SMART Board V280
Interactive Whiteboard
Before Installing Your Interactive Whiteboard
Before you install your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard, choose a location
that’s protected from direct sunlight. Bright light sources, such as a window
with exposure to direct sunlight, can reduce the contrast of the projected image
and might affect the performance of your interactive whiteboard’s infrared technology.
Also consider where you installed, or plan to install or position, your projector. Position
your projector and interactive whiteboard at the correct height and distance apart
so that the projected image aligns with the display screen. Remember to leave
enough room on either side of your interactive whiteboard for you to stand beside it.
NOTE
You can also mount your SMART Board V280 interactive whiteboard
on a floor stand. For more information, see Appendix C on page 67.
Recommended Heights for Wall-Mounting
Consider the general height of your user community when you choose a height for
your wall-mounted interactive whiteboard. If your interactive whiteboard is too low, it
might force some people to bend over uncomfortably. If it’s too high, other people
might need to reach up too far. For adults of average height, position your interactive
whiteboard’s wall-mounting bracket 78 5/8" (2 m) above the floor. The distance to the
top of your interactive whiteboard will be 84" (213.4 cm).
For children, shorter adults and adults in wheelchairs, position your interactive
whiteboard’s wall-mounting bracket 60 3/4" (154.3 cm) above the floor. The distance
to the top of your interactive whiteboard will be 66" (167.7 cm).
WARNING
Two people are required to safely mount your SMART Board V280 interactive
whiteboard on a wall or a floor stand because it might be too large for one person
to safely maneuver alone. When you lift your interactive whiteboard, you and your
assistant should stand on either side of the screen, supporting its weight at the
bottom corners while balancing the top with your other hands.
NOTE
When you mount your interactive whiteboard lower on the wall, keep it high
enough that furniture or other objects won’t obstruct the projected image.
