Chief KITEC045080B

The Chief KITEC045080B is a complete ceiling projector installation kit designed for commercial AV environments where reliability and precision matter. The kit bundles the RSMEU Mini Elite Projector Mount, a CPA116 flat ceiling plate, a CPA640 decorative shield ring, and a telescoping extension column adjustable from 45 to 80 cm — everything needed for a professional projector drop in a single package. Suitable for both fixed and suspended ceilings, the kit is aimed at integrators working in boardrooms, classrooms, lecture halls, and presentation spaces where a clean, secure and serviceable installation is expected.

Telescoping Column: Flexible Drop Height

The extension column adjusts continuously between 45 and 80 cm, giving installers genuine flexibility to position the projector at the ideal throw distance without committing to a fixed-length pipe. This is particularly valuable in rooms with variable ceiling heights or where the throw distance needs fine-tuning after the structural work is done. Because the adjustment is infinite within the range — not stepped — the projector can be set to the exact height needed for correct image size, eliminating the compromises that come with fixed-length columns.

MicroZone Adjustments for Precise Image Alignment

The RSMEU Mini Elite Projector Mount included in this kit features MicroZone adjustment — a fine-tuning system that allows roll (±3°), pitch (±15°) and full 360° yaw adjustment after the projector is mounted. In practice, this means the image can be squared to the screen without repositioning the column or the ceiling plate. For installations in rooms where the ceiling grid does not align perfectly with the screen, this saves significant commissioning time and produces a more professional result for the end customer.

One box. Everything needed. Projector in the ceiling.

Q-Lock Quick Release for Fast Servicing

The Q-Lock lever allows the projector to be disconnected from the mount and lowered for servicing — lamp replacement, filter cleaning, cable adjustment — without disassembling the ceiling structure. This significantly reduces the time and risk involved in routine maintenance, which is especially relevant in high-ceiling environments where ladder or lift access is required. For the facility or AV manager responsible for keeping the system running, the ability to service the projector quickly and safely is a direct operational benefit.

Integrated Security Against Unauthorised Removal

The kit includes Chief's keyed locking system combined with All-Points Security hardware, which secures the projector at multiple attachment points. This is a meaningful differentiator for installations in publicly accessible or semi-public spaces — classrooms, libraries, conference centres — where projector theft is a real risk. The keyed lock means only authorised personnel can detach the projector, and the All-Points hardware makes bypassing the lock by force significantly harder than with a standard mounting screw arrangement.

Inlay Cable Management for a Clean Finish

An integrated inlay-style external cable management channel runs along the extension column, routing signal and power cables neatly out of sight. This avoids the need for separate cable conduit or cable ties and results in a professional appearance that reflects well on both the installer and the end-user's space. It also improves long-term serviceability — cables are accessible but organised, making future troubleshooting or re-cabling straightforward without dismantling the entire installation.

Professional Finish with Aesthetic Cover Components

The CPA116 flat ceiling plate and CPA640 decorative shield ring are included in the kit specifically to provide a finished, polished look at the ceiling interface — covering structural fixing points and cable entry for both fixed plasterboard ceilings and suspended tile installations. For an end customer in a corporate or educational environment, this visual quality matters: a clean ceiling mount signals a professional installation and contributes to the overall perception of the AV system.
