This flat panel cantilever will hold larger LCD monitor 30 inches and over. It will also hold smaller
plasma monitors up to 32 inches.

First determine if your monitor is VESA standard compliant, refer to the monitor’s
users manual. VESA is a standard mounting hole pattern (see image 1). The LP-80
Flat Panel Cantilever can attach directly to both 75mm & 100mm VESA square hole
patterns. If your monitor is not VESA standard compliant, a mounting adapter bracket
will be needed between your monitor and the cantilever mount. Contact your dealer or
contact DCS Mount to find out if an adapter is available for your monitor. All plasma
will require an adapter bracket. You will need someone to help with this installation.

1. Determine your preferred mounting location keeping in mind good viewing angles and that this
mount MUST BE PROPERLY SECURED TO THE CENTER OF A STUD.

2. While holding the mount in place and being sure that the mount is plumb, mark the mounting
location (you can use the supplied lag bolts to poke marks into the mounting surface through the
center of each mounting hole on the wall mounting plate). When mounting to a wood stud, drill a
3-1/4 inch deep pilot hole with a 9/32”drill bit through each mark. Attach the cantilever mount to the
wall before attaching your monitor to the cantilever’s monitor mounting plate.

3. If your monitor has a table stand attached, you will need to remove the stand before attaching it to
the cantilever mount; refer to the monitor’s users manual for proper instruction to remove the stand.
In the hardware kit, there are 4 sets of screws with 4 screws per set supplied. Depending on your
monitor’s manufacture’s specifications, determine
the proper diameter & length of screws that you will
need. CAUTION: Damage to your monitor’s

internal components can occur if you use screws
that are too long. Attach your monitor to the
VESA plate using the proper screws, DO NOT over
tighten the screws that attaché to the monitor,
DAMAGE to the monitor may occur. If your

monitor needs an adapter bracket, use the supplied
1/4-20 screws to attaché the bracket, once it has
been mounted to your monitor, to the 100mm
pattern on the VESA plate.

4. If you attach any wires along the cantilever’s swing
arms (for example using P-CLIPS), be sure that the wires (or P-clips) are not pulled, pinched or
kinked between the swing arms when you move the cantilever mount around into different
positions.

5. All of the screws are properly torqued to specification when the
unit is assembled at the factory and should not need an further
initial adjustments. However, due to the variety in size of different
monitors, MINOR adjustment may be required to optimize the
tension needed for ease of movement. Be sure that your

monitor is supported properly while making ANY changes to
the cantilever. To loosen or tighten the 4 screws respectfully on

the back of the rear pivot clamp until the desired tension is
obtained (see image 2 – Tilt Tensioning Screws and Image 3 –
Tensioning Tilt). It is important to try to maintain even torque on

each of the 4 screws. It does not take that much change in torque to make a large difference in the

tilt tension. To loosen or tighten the swing arm tension use the supplied 5/32 inch hex wrench to
loosen or tighten the screw shown in image 2 & 3 (Swing Arm Tensioning Screw). Periodic
adjustment of these screws may be necessary to maintain desired tension. There should be NO
reason to tighten or loosen the wrist hinge bracket. You should need to tighten or loosen the
shoulder hinges screws (located top and bottom of hinge), improper tightening of these screws can
damage the shoulder hinge bracket and the wall mount plate.

Mounting the Wall Plate

Mounting to Wooden Stud

1. Determine the location where you want the display mounted on the wall.

2. USE stud finder to locate and mark the center of the two studs.

3. Remove P-150 from box. Remove the PA-4260 Adaptor plate from the
Mounting Head, and set the four 3/8-16 button head screws aside for later.

4. Remove the cantilever arm from Wall Plate

5. Align center mounting holes of wall plate with center marks on studs. Using
the wall plate as a template, mark the mounting holes and center J box hole.
Install J box as required.

Note: Electrical outlets should only be installed by a qualified electrician.

6. Drill mounting holes with 9/32 inch bit. Mounting holes should be 3 inch
(76mm) deep.

Mounting to Masonry

1. Using the wall plate as a template, mark the mounting holes in the desired
mounting location.

2. Drill mounting holes with 3/8”(10mm) masonry bit. Mounting holes should be
a minimum of 2-9/16”(65mm) deep.

3. Insert masonry mounting anchors (not supplied) into holes, and tap flash with hammer.

Proceed to Mounting Cantilever Assembly

Mounting Cantilever Assembly

1. Important: for the display to be centered over the wall plate when the cantilever arm is folded, the
arm will need to be offset by approximately 4”(10.1cm) from the desired center position of the
screen. To do this, first not where the desired center of screen position intersects the wall plate, and
then mark the all plate.

2. Attach cantilever arm to the wall plate at the indicated offset location.

3. Mount cantilever assembly to wall using supplied 3/8” lag bolts.

4. Fold cantilever arm to verify center location of mounting head.

Note: the mounting head will be centered with the arm folded in one direction
only.
