• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the mount, the display and all
attached hardware and components.
• This wall bracket will only supporting flat panel displays(LCD,Plasma).The maximum load capacity is 80 pounds.
• If mounting to a wall of wood stud construction, be sure that mounting bolt are anchored to the center of the
studs.
• Always have someone assist you to lift and position your equipment.
• Tighten screws and bolts firmly, but do not over tighten. Over tightening can damage the items and greatly reduce
their ability to hold. Please refer to suggested torque values where applicable in these instructions.

Installation to Single Wood Stud Wall
WARNING
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.
• Tighten wood screws so that wall plate is firmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the
screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the stud. The use of an "edge to edge" stud finder is
highly recommended.
• Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs. Installers
are responsible for providing hardware for other types of mounting situations.
A
Using a stud finder, locate and mark the edges of the wood stud. Use of an edge to edge stud finder is highly
recommended. Use a level to draw a vertical line down the center of the stud. Use the wall plate of the mount(AA)
as a template to
as shown in figure A.1. Drill three 3/16" (5 mm) dia. pilot holes 2" (76 mm) deep. Attach the mount(AA)
to wall using
three M6 X 60 cross slotted head screw (G) as shown in fig. A.2. Level the plate, then tighten all fasteners.

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
WARNING
When installing the wall mount to cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" of actual solid concrete
thickness in the hole to be used for the concrete anchors. Do not drill into mortar joints! Be sure to mount in a solid
part of the block, generally 1" minimum from the side of the block. Cinder block must meet ASTM C-90 specifications.
It is recommended that a standard electric drill set on a slow setting is used to drill the hole instead of a hammer
drill to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity.
Concrete must have a 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold the concrete anchor.
Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hard-
ware and components.
Use wall plate (AA) as template to mark mounting
B
holes.The top mounting hole should be 5" above the
desired screen center as shown in figure A.1 on page 4.
Drill three 5/16" (8 mm) dia. holes 2" (50 mm) deep as
shown in fig. B.1. Insert concrete anchor (
secure with M6x 60 screws (G). Level, then tighten all
fasteners.

WARNING
Always attach concrete anchors directl to load-
bearing concrete.
Never attach concrete anchors to concrete covered
with plaster, drywall, or other finishing material. If
mounting to concrete surfaces covered with a finishing
surface is unavoidable, the finishing surface must be
counterbored as shown below. Be sure concrete
anchors do not pull away from concrete when tightening screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8",
custom fasteners must be supplied by the installer.

Attaching display mounting plate (AA) to a Screen with a VESA® Mounting Pattern
Choose hole pattern as shown in detail 3 for VESA mounting pattern. Begin with the shortest length screw, hand thread
C
through adapter plate into screen as shown in detail 4. Screw must make at least three full turns into the mounting hole
and fit snug into place. Do not over tighten. If screw cannot make three full turns into the screen, select a longer length
screw from the fastener pack. Repeat for remaining mounting holes. Securely tighten screws.
NOTE: Spacers do not have to be used, depending upon the type of screen.
