Vibration Mount
Model CMA-347
The Chief CMA-347 Vibration Mount is designed to
dampen shock and vibration between a mounted item
and its structural mounting surface.
Any lengths of standard NPT 1 1/2” pipe, threaded on
both ends, can be used to extend the height capabilities
to meet your needs.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the mount, which could void factory warranty and affect the attached equipment,
thoroughly study all instructions and illustrations before you begin the installation. Pay particular attention to the
“Important Warnings and Precautions” on Page 1.

INSPECT MOUNT BEFORE INSTALLATION
7. Thread projector mount (210) onto lower NPT 1 1/2"
lower mounting pipe (200).
1. Carefully inspect the mount for shipping damage
(see figure 1). If any damage is apparent, call your
carrier claims agent and do not continue with the
installation until the carrier has reviewed the damage.
8. Secure NPT 1 1/2” lower mounting pipe (200) to
projector mount (210) following the installation
instructions provided with the projector mount (210).
NOTE: Read all assembly instructions before starting
set-up or installation.
9. With the weight of the installation on the CMA-347,
tighten the 1/4-20 x 4" tap bolts until a slight preload
is on the springs.
2. Carefully inspect mount components for damage.
MOUNT INSTALLATION
The mount is shipped pre-assembled for applications
under 15 pounds.
CAUTION: If the total combined weight of the
projector, projector mount, and lower mounting pipe
exceeds 15lbs, the CMA 347 vibration mount needs to
be reconfigured for weights over 15lbs. Weigh all parts
before beginning installation.
Ceiling Plate (180)
NPT 1 1/2"
Upper Mounting Pipe (190)
If the total combined weight of the projector, projector
mount, and lower mounting pipe is 15lbs or below,
proceed with mount installation. If the total combined
weight of the projector, projector mount, and lower
mounting pipe is over 15lbs, see Set-Up for Over 15 lbs
on page 6.

3. Thread mount top (10) onto NPT 1 1/2” upper
mounting pipe (190).
Projector Mount (210)
NOTE: Ensure there is no direct contact between mount
and surrounding structure. Any contact could
allow vibration transfer to the projector.

4. Secure NPT 1 1/2” upper mounting pipe (190) to
mount top (10) using 5/16-18 x 3/8" socket head set
screw (160). Turn 5/16/18 x 3/8" socket head set
screw (160) until it contacts thread of NPT 1 1/2”
upper mounting pipe (190).
5. Thread NPT 1 1/2” lower mounting pipe (200) into
mount bottom (20).
6. Secure NPT 1 1/2” lower mounting pipe (200) to
mount bottom (20) using 5/16-18 x 3/8" socket head
