Installing your interactive
display

Components of your interactive display

The following images identify the components of your interactive display.

Front view

Back view

1

I N S T A L L I N G Y O U R I N T E R A C T I V E D I S P L A Y

Wall-mounting your interactive display

Use a team of trained, professional installers equipped with a lifting device to install your

interactive display.

W  W A R N I N G

l Improper installation can result in personal injury or product damage.

l Your interactive display weighs 119 kg (262 lb.). Refer to local building regulations to

ensure that your installation area can support this weight.

C  C A U T I O N

Do not allow the weight of your interactive display to rest on the colour select module or the

bottom bezel because they are not designed to support product weight. Attach other

components whilst your interactive display is either still in its packaging or suspended from a

lifting device to prevent the weight of your interactive display from damaging the colour select

module.

I  I M P O R T A N T

Save all product packaging so that it is available if you need to transport your interactive

display. If your original packaging is not available, you can purchase new product packaging

from your authorised SMART reseller.

Important mounting considerations for trained installers

Consider the following when mounting your interactive display on a wall:

l Plan your workflow to include cabling because some cable attachment points might not be

accessible post-installation.

I  I M P O R T A N T

Speakers must be attached and speaker wires connected to your interactive display

before it is wall-mounted.

l To wall-mount this interactive display, you require a standard VESA

mounting plate, not included.

®

400 mm × 400 mm

2

I N S T A L L I N G Y O U R I N T E R A C T I V E D I S P L A Y

l Attach the M12 eyebolts and washers included to assist in mounting.

W  W A R N I N G

o

In order to aid in mounting or carrying, a lifting device must be used in conjunction

with the M12 attachable eyebolts. Do not attempt to mount or carry the display

using your own strength because the display may fall and cause personal injury.

o

Use VESA-approved mounting hardware. Remove the M12 eyebolts after

installation.

l Inspect the installation location to ensure that it can support the weight of your interactive

display.

l Use M8 screws to fasten the wall bracket. The length of the screws must be 14-15 mm

plus the thickness of the bracket and the washer. If using screws longer than 14-15 mm,

ensure sufficient depth.

l Recommended fasten force is 1125-1375 N·cm

l Refer to the instructions included with the mounting equipment for more detailed

information.

Selecting the mounting location

Consider the following when you select a location for your interactive display:

l The wall must be strong enough to support your interactive display and the mounting

accessories. Your interactive display weighs 119 kg (262lb.).

l Do not install your interactive display in a location where a door or gate can hit it.

l Do not install your interactive display in an area where it will be subjected to strong

vibrations or dust.

l Do not install your interactive display near where the main power supply enters the

building.

3

I N S T A L L I N G Y O U R I N T E R A C T I V E D I S P L A Y

l Do not install your interactive display where people can easily grab and hang onto it or the

mounting apparatus.

l Ensure adequate ventilation or provide air conditioning around your interactive display so

that heat can flow away from the unit and mounting apparatus.

l When mounting your interactive display in a recessed area, such as in a wall, leave at least

10 cm (4") of space between your interactive display and the recess walls to ensure proper

ventilation.

Choosing the mounting height for your interactive display

Consider the heights of your users when choosing the mounting height for your interactive

display.

4

I N S T A L L I N G Y O U R I N T E R A C T I V E D I S P L A Y

Installing the interactive display speakers

Your interactive display comes with two 15 W speakers.

I  I M P O R T A N T

Install the speakers on your interactive display before installing the interactive display on the

wall. Install the speakers whilst the interactive display is either still in its product packaging or

suspended from a lifting device.
