Description
The PMCL-CM is a ceiling mount that can be used to mount any of Pelco’s 300 or 400 Series flat panel LCD monitors. This mount supports Pelco 500 Series
PMCL524BL and PMCL532BLLCD monitors, although a PMCL-V200 adapter plate is required. The PMCL532F monitor requires the PMCL-V200 adapter
(not supplied). The PMCL542F, PMCL546BL, and PMCL555BL require the PMCL-VAF adapter (not supplied).
The PMCL-CM mount can be swiveled 360 degrees to allow you to use your monitor in either landscape or portrait view. The mount also allows you to tilt
the monitor 35 degrees for the best viewing angle. This mount must be used with a pole to hang the monitor from a ceiling. It can also be used with Pelco’s
MRCA ceiling mount. The PMCL-CM is capable of supporting a maximum load of 40.8 kg (90 lbs).
NOTE: If you are installing a mount using a Pelco adapter (PMCL-V200 or PMCL-VAF), refer to the manual shipped with the adapter for installation
instructions.

Installation
NOTE: It is recommended that two people be present when mounting the monitor. One person should hold the monitor, while the second person installs the
screws to secure the monitor to the mount.
1. Attach the mounting flange to the ceiling using one of the following installation methods (mounting hardware is not supplied):
•Wood beam ceiling installation: If installing the mount to a wood ceiling stud, the stud must be at least 2-inches x 4-inches with a maximum
0.5-inch thick layer of plasterboard. For installation, the hole size should be 11/64-inch and 2-inches deep.
(1)Use a stud finder to locate and mark the edges of the stud to
which the mount will be attached.
(2)Center the mounting flange between the edges of the stud.
(3)Use the mounting flange as a template to mark two mounting
holes that are not adjacent to each other.
(4)Attach the mounting flange to the ceiling using two 1/4 x 2-inch
wood screws (not supplied), as shown in Figure 1.
•I-beam ceiling installation: For installation, the hole size should be
17/64-inch and deep enough to go through the flange.
(1)Use the mounting flange as a template to mark the mounting
holes on the I-beam.
(2)Attach the mounting flange to the I-beam using 1/4-20 x 1-inch
machine screws with nuts (not supplied), as shown in Figure 2.
Depending on the size of the I-beam, machine screws longer
than 1-inch may be required.
•Concrete ceiling installation: The minimum concrete thickness is
3-inches. For installation, the hole size should be 1/4-inch and
1 3/4-inches deep. The concrete anchor must be an ITW RED HEAD
Trubolt Wedge Anchor SWW-1422.
(1)Use the mounting flange as a template to mark the mounting
holes on the ceiling.
(2)Attach the mounting flange to the concrete ceiling using
1/4 x 1.75-inch wedge concrete anchors with nuts and washers
(not supplied), as shown in Figure 3.

3. Attach the mounting head to the opposite end of the pipe (refer to Figure 4).
WARNING: The mount is designed to rotate at the swivel ball joint on the mounting flange. Do not rotate the mount at the joints where the
pole screws into the mount.
4. Using the 3/32-inch Allen wrench (supplied), tighten the 10-32 set screw on the mounting head and the two 10-32 set screws on the mounting flange.
5. Using the 3/32-inch Allen wrench (supplied), loosen the 10-32 set screw on the mounting flange ball joint.
6. Slightly loosen the retaining ring on the mounting flange. Do not completely unscrew the retaining ring.
7. Rotate the lower section of the mount at the ball joint until the mounting head is facing the desired direction.
8. Tighten the retaining ring and the 10-32 setscrew to lock the mount into the desired position.
9. Hold the monitor level with the mounting head and attach the monitor mount to one of the following monitors:
•31-inch monitor or smaller: Align the monitor to the correct hole pattern on the mounting plate. Use four M4 x 10 mm Phillips pan head screws
and split lock washers (supplied) to secure the monitor to the mounting plate.
•Monitors larger than 31-inches: Align the monitor to the outside hole pattern of the monitor plate. Use four M6 x 12 mm Phillips pan head
screws and flat washers (supplied) to secure the monitor to the mounting plate.
10. Power and video wires can be pulled through the center of the pole or run along the outside of the pole.
11. Using the 3/16-inch Allen wrench (supplied), loosen the button head bolts on the side of the mounting head.
