How to Determine the Correct Spacer
1. The following illustration shows a display
mounting surface that will not need the use of a
spacer.
2. The illustration shows a display mounting surface
that will need a spacer to correctly install the
mounting plate.
3. Anytime a display has a recessed mounting point,
a spacer must be used.
4. Select the spacer(s) that will create a flush and
level mounting surface for the mounting plate.
5. The following illustration shows how a thread
depth indicator should be used to determine which
spacer should be used.
6. The following illustration shows how a correctly
installed spacer and mounting screw will sit in a
recessed mounting point.

Thread Depth Indicator
1. Insert the thread depth indicator (supplied) through the thread inserts found on the back of the flat panel to
make sure the inserts measure the same full depth and mark it (Figure 1).
2. Locate the correct diameter screw for the thread insert. Compare your marking to the screws (supplied).
3. If your selected screw is longer than the marking on the thread depth indicator, DO NOT USE this screw.
4. The screw length must not bypass the marking. Select another screw size (Figure 2 and 3), until you find
one that comes closest to your mark without going past the mark on the Thread Depth Indicator.
