Step 1: Mount the Wall Plate: Wood Stud, Brick, Solid Concrete, and Concrete Block mounting options are provided.

Wood Stud Mounting: The Wall Plate (a) must be mounted to a wood stud. Use a high quality stud sensor to locate a stud. Pre-drill a 2.5” deep hole at the desired height in the stud using a 3/16” drill bit. Make sure the hole is in the center area of the stud. Use the Wall Plate as a template to mark the location of the second hole. Make sure the Wall Plate is level and drill 2.5” a deep hole using the 3/16” drill bit in the marked location. Attach the Wall Plate to the wall using two Lag Bolts (d) and two Lag Bolt Washers (e). Make sure the Wall Plate is oriented so the ﬂat surface in the center of the plate is against the wall as shown in Diagram 1a.

Warning: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE LAG BOLTS! Tighten Lag Bolts only until the Lag Bolt Washer is pulled ﬁrmly against the Wall Plate.

Brick, Solid Concrete and Concrete Block Mounting: Use the Wall Plate (a) as a template to mark 3 hole locations on the wall. Always locate Concrete Anchors (f) in the brick, block, or concrete. Never drill into the mortar between blocks! The two top holes should be as far to the outside of the Wall Plate as possible. The bottom hole should be in the center. Make sure theWall Plate is level. Carefully pre-Drill these holes with a 1/2” masonry bit to at least 2.5” in depth. Insert a Concrete anchor into each of these holes. Make sure the anchor is seated completely ﬂush with the concrete surface even if there is a layer of drywall or other material in front. Attach the Wall Plate to the wall using 3 Lag Bolts (d) and 3 Lag Bolt Washers (e). See Diagram 1b for assistance.

Warning: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE LAG BOLTS! Tighten Lag Bolts only until the Lag Bolt Washer is pulled ﬁrmly against the Wall Plate.

Step 2: Select the Appropriate Hardware for your television

Always make sure the television is unplugged before threading any bolt into the back panel!

Thread bolts carefully into your television by hand before tightening. If you feel resistance, remove the bolt immediately! If you are unable to ﬁnd appropriate hardware for your television, consult a local hardware store or call Sanus Systems.

Locate the threaded inserts on the back of your ﬂat panel television and determine which of the provided Bolts is the correct diameter. To test each diameter, thread the Bolts carefully into your television by hand until you ﬁnd the diameter that correctly ﬁts.

Next, determine the correct length of the required Bolt. Televisions with a ﬂat back will require one of the shorter Bolts and no spacer. Some televisions have a curve, recess, or other obstruction on the back. This may require a longer Bolt along with a Spacer placed between the television and the Monitor Bracket.

Once you have the correct bolt picked out, you can follow the diagrams below to see what additional hardware you will need to mount the Monitor Brackets (b,c) to your television. For a television with a ﬂat back, see Step 3 for installation instructions. For all other instances, see Step 4.

Step 3: Attach Monitor Brackets to a television with a ﬂat back

Make sure the Locking Monitor Bracket (b) is located on the left side as shown in Diagram 3.

If you have determined that your TV requires an M6 diameter bolt, thread an M6 x 12mm Bolt (o) through a Lock Washer (i), the Monitor Brackets, and into the TV, as shown on the right side of the Detailed View of Diagram 3 for Assistance. Proceed to tighten the Bolts ﬁrmly with a phillips screw driver.
