Chief MA1 CMS003 CMS440 - KITLS003

Product Overview

The Chief KITLS003 is a preconfigured projector ceiling mount kit combining the RPMA1 universal projector mount with a 3-inch (76 mm) fixed extension column (CMS003) and a CMS440 ceiling plate in a single black-finish package. Designed for commercial AV applications requiring a minimal ceiling drop, the CMS003 fixed-length column positions the projector close to the ceiling surface, making KITLS003 well-suited for rooms with very low ceiling drop requirements or where a flush, ceiling-hugging projector installation is specified. The CMS440 ceiling plate provides a secure anchor to structural and suspended ceiling assemblies.

Product Description

KITLS003 bundles three Chief-engineered components into a complete overhead projector system. The RPMA1 universal projector mount is compatible with a wide range of standard- and short-throw commercial projectors and provides the lateral, fore-aft, and pitch adjustments needed for precise image alignment. The CMS003 column provides a fixed 3-inch (76 mm) drop, placing the projector as close to the ceiling as possible for rooms where drop distance must be minimized. The CMS440 ceiling plate anchors the assembly to both structural and above-tile suspended ceiling systems, providing a stable mount point. All components are finished in black for a professional commercial appearance. This single-SKU kit simplifies procurement and component sourcing for AV integrators.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What projectors fit the RPMA1 mount in this kit?
A: The RPMA1 is compatible with most standard- and short-throw commercial projectors. Confirm your projector's mounting hole spacing and weight rating against Chief's compatibility data before installation.

Q: Why would I choose a 3-inch fixed column over an adjustable column kit?
A: The 76 mm fixed column is ideal when ceiling drop must be minimized to avoid obstructing sight lines, for architectural spaces with low ceilings, or where a flush ceiling appearance is specified. For variable drop distances, Chief's CMS0203 and CMS0305 adjustable column kits are available.

Q: What ceiling types does the CMS440 plate support?
A: The CMS440 supports both structural and above-tile suspended ceiling installations. Verify the ceiling assembly's load capacity against the combined mount weight before installation.

Q: What warranty applies to this kit?
A: KITLS003 is covered under the Legrand AV / Chief manufacturer warranty. Contact Creation Networks for warranty and support assistance.
