VZ-CMK02

Installing the VZ-CMK02 Mount

Introduction

Your VZ-CMK02 mount may be secured to either a single ceiling stud or a solid surface ceiling, such as concrete.

The VZ-CMK02 allows tilt and pivot adjustments ±15° from center, 360° side-to-side swivel, and cable access. The
VZ-CMK-P3 allows height adjustment from 24 to 46 inches. Plus it also features two cable access openings.

Please read these installation instructions once thoroughly before attempting to install your ViewZ product.

Please take a minute to familiarize yourself with the contents of the package and make sure you have all the parts and
tools you need to safely complete the installation.

In addition, some steps of this installation may require two people to prevent personal injury and/or damage to your
projector. Please observe all warnings in the following installation procedure and utilize proper safety equipment at all

times.

Wood Stud Installation

Step 1

Use a stud nder to locate a ceiling stud closest to

Ä

your desired installation location.
Identify the center of the ceiling stud.

®

Use a pencil to mark the location of the ceiling stud

¯

center.

The target arrow indicates the direction of the

non-viewing side of the at panel.

Step 2

Place the VZ-CMK-P3 ceiling plate into position

Ä

against the ceiling with the mounting holes aligned

with the center of the ceiling stud.
Use a pencil and mark two (2) mounting hole

®

locations through each of the mounting points A in the
VZ-CMK-P3 ceiling plate.

Stud

Center

Page 6 Visit the ViewZ website at http://www.viewzusa.com Installation Instructions

VZ-CMK02

Step 3

Set aside the VZ-CMK02 Mount.

Ä

Drill a pilot hole in the center of each mark using a

®

power drill and 1/8˝ drill bit.

Pilot Holes

When a screw is driven into a material, such
as wood, it can act as a wedge, generating

outward pressure which can cause many

materials to split. Drilling a small pilot hole
in the material into which the screw will be

driven causes less ‘wedging’ to take place,
thereby reducing the likelihood of the material
being split. It also reduces the possibility of
the screw head from being sheared off by

torque

Step 4

Realign the VZ-CMK02 with the pilot holes.

Ä

Insert one (1) #14 x 2˝ screw through each of the mounting holes A in the bottom of the VZ-CMK-P3 ceiling plate

®

and into the pilot holes.

Manually tighten each screw until the VZ-CMK-P3 ceiling plate is secure against the ceiling.

¯

Do not overtighten the #14 x 2˝ screws.

Proceed to the “Attaching the Projector Plate” section.

VZ-CMK02

Solid Ceiling Installation

Your VZ-CMK02 at panel mount can be mounted to a solid surface ceiling with a minimum 6" thickness. Concrete
wedge anchors must be used for concrete installation. It is recommended that ¼” wedge anchors be used. A concrete

bit must be used to drill the pilot hole. Both wedge anchors and concrete drill bits are not supplied, but can be

purchased at your local hardware store.

Example Wedge Anchors and Concrete Bit

Step 1

Place the VZ-CMK-P3 ceiling plate into position

Ä

against the ceiling.

Use a pencil and mark four (4) mounting hole

®

locations through each of the mounting points B in the
VZ-CMK-P3 ceiling plate.

The target arrow indicates the direction of the

non-viewing side of the at panel.

Step 2

Drill a hole at each mark using the appropriate

Ä

diameter concrete bit for your wedge anchor.
Remove the nut and washer from the wedge anchors.

®

Insert a wedge anchor into each hole.

¯

(Commercially Available)

If necessary, a hammer can be used to lightly tap

each wedge anchor into place.

VZ-CMK02

Step 3

Move the VZ-CMK-P3 ceiling plate back into position.

Ä

Thread a wedge anchor nut (and washer, if provided

®

with the wedge anchor) onto each threaded wedge

anchor shaft.

Do not tighten any of the wedge anchor nuts (and any

washers) until all nuts and washers are threaded onto the

shafts.

Do not overtighten the wedge anchor nuts.

Proceed to the “Attaching the VZ-CMK01A” section.

Attaching the VZ-CMK01A

Screw the VZ-CMK01A coupling adapter to the VZ-

Ä

CMK-P3 adapter or 1½" (NPT) Pipe.

Secure the coupling with the M6 set screw (supplied).

®

The VZ-CMK01A must be threaded on four complete

turns before tightening down the set screw.

If you are having difculty achieving four complete

turns, insert a screwdriver through the access hole

and apply pressure while turning the VZ-CMK01A

(see below).

Installation Instructions Visit the ViewZ website at http://www.viewzusa.com Page 9

Attaching the VZ-CMK01A

Use the M3 Allen wrench to tighten the M6 x 6mm set

¯

screw located on the side of the VZ-CMK02 mount.

Proceed to the “Mounting Hardware” section.

Mounting Hardware
Selecting the Mounting Hardware

Insert a small straw or toothpick into the threaded

Ä

inserts found on the back of the at panel.
Use a pencil to mark the depth of the threaded insert

®

on the small straw or toothpick.
Mark the straw or toothpick 1/8” above the depth of

¯

the threaded insert, as shown in Figure 1.

Insert the small straw or toothpick into the remaining

°

threaded inserts to compare and verify their depth
using the straw or toothpick’s 1/8” allowance mark.

Locate the correct diameter screw for the threaded

±

insert.

VZ-CMK02

M3 Allen Wrench

M6 x 6mm Set Screw

If the screw you selected is longer than the 1/8”

allowance mark on the small straw or toothpick,

as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, do not use this

screw. The screw length must not bypass the mark.

Test each size of the screws provided.

²

The correct screws should thread easily into the

mounting point and not pull out when tension is
applied.

Does your at panel have:

● Recessed mounting points?

● Uneven mounting points?

● A curved back?

● Any obstruction near the mounting point?

If Yes, you must install Universal Spacers. Proceed
to the “Universal Spacer Installation” section.

If No, skip to the “VZ-AP200 Adapter Plate
Installation” section.

uneven mounting points. Each Universal Spacer adds ¼˝
to the distance between the Adapter Plate and your at

panel.

The Universal Spacers must be stacked and

oriented as shown.

The Universal Spacers must only be installed

between the Adapter Plate and your at panel.

The Universal Spacers will t M4, M5, M6 and M8 screw

sizes.

Does your at panel have:

● 75mm x 75mm VESA mounting points or

100mm x 100mm VESA mounting points?

Proceed to the “Attaching the Flat Panel to

mounting points to the VZ-CMK02 mount.

Determine which mounting points will be used.

Ä

Refer to the “Technical Specications” section for

VZ-AP200 Adapter Plate mounting points.

Place your monitor face-down on a soft and at

®

surface.
Secure the VZ-AP200 Adapter Plate to the back of the

¯

monitor using the following hardware:

• If you are using the 200mm x 100mm mounting points,

you must use the M4 x 10mm Phillips at head screws
