remove projector from ceiling mount

The fitment of a replacement lamp must always be undertaken with the projector placed upon a suitable worktop or desk.

If the projector is ceiling mounted, you should first access the projector using steps or a fixed / adjustable height platform. Always undertake the removal of a projector with the assistance of a colleague, for help steadying the steps, the passing of tools and the receipt of the projector when removed from the ceiling mount.

At all times put your personal safety and that of your colleagues above all else.

Before demounting the projector, create a record (written or drawn) of all the connections to the projector. When the projector is returned to the ceiling mount you will need to remake these connections. If individual cables have non specific markings, now would be a good time to label them (computer in, video in, audio in – left, audio in – right, etc.,). The connection panel on the projector has legend and colour coding to help you decide what to name specific cables or connections.

At this time you can also check for the security of the installation. If you spot any screws or bolts which are loose; cables which are frayed, worn, perished, in need of securing or if the installation as a whole looks insecure – make a note of your observations or concerns and report your findings to your health and safety manager.
