Chief CMS440P2

Overview

The Chief CMS440P2 is a suspended ceiling kit designed to securely mount projectors or AV devices above standard ceiling tiles while integrating built-in surge protection. It replaces a single ceiling tile to create a stable platform compatible with any Chief extension column or 1.5-inch NPT accessory. This kit supports equipment weighing up to 50 lbs, making it suitable for a variety of classroom projectors, conference room short-throw models, and small PTZ cameras.

Its dual gang electrical housing features SurgeX multi-stage filtration, which protects sensitive electronics from power spikes and line noise without limiting current flow. The kit fits common 600 x 600 mm and 600 x 1200 mm ceiling grids found in classrooms, meeting rooms, and hospitality venues across Europe, Canada, and Mexico.

Installation and setup

The kit simplifies installation by allowing a single technician to handle cutting the ceiling tile, hanging the frame, and adjusting the height with the WireVice Cable Suspension System. The included TwisTile Cutter ensures precise tile cutting, while the 20-foot strand wire offers flexible positioning for the mounted device. The 10-foot safety cable adds an extra layer of security, preventing accidental falls or damage.

Facility managers benefit from easy maintenance since the ceiling tile can slide out for inspection without disturbing the mounted column. The All-Points Security System further secures the installation by locking the column connection, reducing the risk of tampering in shared or public spaces.

Ideal uses and environments

This ceiling kit is well suited to educational settings, conference rooms, and hospitality venues where projectors or AV devices need to be mounted discreetly above suspended ceilings. Its compatibility with common ceiling grid sizes and support for a wide range of equipment weights make it a versatile choice for classrooms, meeting rooms, and small studios. The integrated surge protection and security features also make it a strong option for environments where device safety and theft prevention are priorities.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
