3 MBE-27/28 Wall Mount Applications

The MBE-27B, MBE-27W, and the MBE-28B Brackets can be
mounted directly to a wall or to the MBE-17 Wall-Mount
Adapter. The MBE-17 Wall-Mount Adapter provides extra
support and can withstand heavier loads.
The MBE-28 Bracket also allows cables to run through the arm
and up the mount head at the end of the arm to connect to the
camera.
For a secure mounting installation, bolts should extend through
the mounting surface and be secured with nuts, washers, and
lock washers on the opposite side.
If studs are used, they should either be anchored in concrete or
welded to a steel backer plate.

3.1 Mounting the MBE-27/28 to a Wall

The MBE-27/28 can be mounted directly to a wall surface and
can support up to 25 kg (55 lbs). Use the MBE-17 wall-mount
adapter if your application requires extra support. Refer to

Section 3.2 Mounting the MBE-27/28 with the MBE-17 Wall
Adapter, page 9.

1. Determine a secure mounting location for the wall
installation.

2. Use the four (4) holes on the flanges of the MBE-27/28
wall-mount bracket as a template to mark the position
where the holes should be drilled to secure the mount.
MBE-28: If routing cables through the wall, drill a 25 mm
(1 in.) hole placed exactly in the middle of the four (4)
marked holes.

CAUTION!

Ensure that the mounting fasteners have a minimum pull-out
strength of 300 kg (661.4 lbs) per screw.
