Installation to 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.

•Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).

•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 to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations (not evaluated by UL).

1	Wall plate (A) can be mounted to two studs that are 16" apart. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs.
	Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down each

stud’s center. Place wall plate on wall as a template. The top mounting slots should be located 3.9" below the desired display center. Level plate, and mark the center of the four mounting holes. Make sure that the mounting holes are on the stud centerlines. Drill six 3/16" (5mm) dia. holes 3" (76mm) deep. Make sure that the wall plate is level, secure it using six 3" wood screws (O) and washers (P).

Skip to step 2 on page 8.

WARNING

• Never mount this product to metal studs without the required accessory.

Installation to Concrete Wall

WARNING

•Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor.

•Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware and components.

•Never exceed the Maximum Load Capacity of 150 lb (68 kg).

1	Use wall plate (A), making sure that it is level, as
	a template to mark holes. The top mounting slots	1		concrete
	should be located at your desired display center. Use			surface
	the masonry bit to drill 3/8" (10mm) dia. holes to a			W

Installing Adapter Brackets

WARNING

•Tighten screws so adapter brackets are firmly attached. Do not tighten with excessive force. Overtightening can cause stress damage to screws, greatly reducing their holding power and possibly causing screw heads to become detached. Tighten to 40 in. • lb (4.5 N.M.) maximum torque.

•If screws don't get three complete turns in the display inserts or if screws bottom out and bracket is still not tightly secured, damage may occur to display or product may fail.

7	To prevent scratching the display, set a cloth on a flat, level surface that will support the weight of the display.
	Place display face side down. If display has knobs on the back, remove them to allow the adapter brackets to be

attached. Place adapter brackets (BB) on back of display, align to holes, and center on back of display as shown below. Attach the adapter brackets to the back of the display using the appropriate combination of screws, multiwashers, and spacers as shown in figure 7.1 and figure 7.2.

NOTE: Top and bottom holes on display must always be used.

Verify that all holes are properly aligned, and then tighten screws using a phillips screwdriver. NOTE: If using security screws, tighten using security allen wrench (CC).
