The DOD is shipped with a RAM® unive rs al ball-and-socket system mountin g kit
(Figure 2). By installi n g th e Display with this kit, the User can adjust the viewing angle
to improve viewability in changing environments. This ball-and-socket system has
proven to be successful in supporting an extreme amount of weight in high vibration
and diffcult-mount applications. Visit www.itechlcd.com/installation for product
mounting diagrams.
Loca te th e ball-and-socke t system in the shipping box. Th e kit c o nsists of two RA M
balls on mounting plates and a RAM arm with an adjustable T-knob and a packet of
three (3) M4 x 10 counter-sunk stainless screws for mounting to the DOD. (Figures 2

There are three mounting holes in the back of the Display for the attachment of a ball
mounting plate. Take care not to strip the screw holes or over tighten. (Figure 4)
It is recommended the remaining ball be mounted on a fat surface. Bec ause of the
various surface substrates where the Display is to be mounted, the installer provides
the screws to mount the other ball.
• Note the location of the three mounting holes on a ball mounting plate (Figure 4)
• With three (3) M4 x 10 counter-sunk stainless screws (Figure 3) attach mounting
plate to the back of the DOD (Figure 2)
• Mount the second ball mounting plate on the surface where the Display is to be
installed
• Insert each ball into the RAM arm
• Lightly tighten the arm around the balls using the T-knob on the arm (Figure 2, 4)
• Adjust the Display to the viewing preference, and
• Tighten the T-knob to hold the Display in position.
Panel Mount
