Installation

Introduction

Direconal Mounng Arrow

The Direconal Mounng Arrow stamped into the
XM mount indicates which edge is the top.

Mounng Safety

Two people are recommended to install the mount.

Step 1

You must secure the mount to two (2) wall studs with
four (4) lag bolts (2 lag bolts for each stud found).

XM series

1) Use a stud finder to determine the exact center of wall studs in the
vicinity of the mount.

2) Use a pencil to mark the exact center of each of the wall studs.

Step 2

Two people are recommended for this step; one
person to level the mount and another person to
mark the wall stud locaon.

1) Place the mount against the wall in the desired viewing location.

2) Adjust the mount to align the mount slots in the mount with the

center of the wall studs.

3) Level the mount.

4) Use a pencil to mark the upper right mounting location along the
center of the wall stud.

Step 3

Drill a “pilot hole” in the center of the upper right mark
using a ¼″ drill bit and power drill.

(Only use a ¼˝ drill bit when drilling pilot holes.)

6 Installation InstructionsVisit the ViewZ USA website at http://www.viewzusa.com

XM series

Installation

Step 4

1) Place the mount against the wall and align it with the pilot hole.

2) Insert one (1) 5/16˝ x 3˝ lag bolt and one (1) 5/16˝ washer into the
upper right pilot hole.

3) Use a socket wrench and a ½˝ socket to tighten the lag bolt.

Do not over tighten the lag bolt.

Step 5

1) Level the mount.

2) Use a pencil to mark the remaining four (4) mounting locations

along the center of each wall stud.

Step 6

Two people are recommended for this step; one
person to level the mount and another person to
drill the pilot holes.

Drill a “pilot hole” in the center of each of the marks with a power drill
and a ¼″ drill bit.

Only use ¼″ drill bit when drilling the pilot holes.

Step 7

1) Insert one (1) 5/16″ x 3″ lag bolt and one (1) 5/16″washer into each
pilot hole

2) Tighten all lag bolts using a socket wrench and ½″ socket.

Do not over ghten the lag bolts when aaching
the mount to the wall. Improper installaon may
result in personal injury or property damage.

If you are using OPTIONAL model specific spacers, proceed to the
"Installing Optional Model Specific Spacers" on page 8.
If not, proceed to “Installing the Mounting Bracket” on page 9.

7Installation Instructions Visit the ViewZ USA website at http://www.viewzusa.com

Installing OPTIONAL Model Specific Spacers

XM’s dedicated at-panel spacers are engineered with
the knowledge that aligning each at-panel on a large
wall is me consuming and costly. These model-specic
spacers are available for most at-panels, which sig­nicantly reduces the installaon me. (Call Customer
Service to inquire about model specic spacers.)

Step 1

This spacer is shown for illustraon purposes only.
Your spacer may look dierent depending on the
display model you are installing.

1) Once your XM is mounted in the desired location and is level,
align your spacer to the top left or right (depending on your install
direction) corner register tabs of your mount.

You may use commercially available hardware to secure
the spacer to the wall during installaon (depending on
the wall material). You may ulize the same spacer for
mulple XM series installaons.

XM series

Step 2

Mulple XM mounts can be installed using model specic spacers. Simply repeat step one when installing each of the
surrounding XM mounts. Use one spacer for each 2x2 installaon by mounng it to the wall, or ulize the same spacer as
many mes needed to complete an unlimited XM large matrix video wall.

1. Make sure the spacer is plumb and level and mark each corner where the XM will be mounted (or secure to the wall). It is best to start
from the bottom corner and work your way up.

2. Install the second mount working in a horizontal direction.

3. Ensure that the mount remains plumb and level.

4. Repeat this step for each mount horizontally

5. To install multiple rows, place spacer between previously installed XM on the bottom row. Make sure the spacer is plumb and level,
mark the corners (or secure to the wall) to be sure of where the XM should be and secure your mount to the wall.

Installing the Mounting Brackets

Selecting the Mounting Hardware

1) Insert a small straw or toothpick into the threaded inserts found on
the back of the flat-panel.

2) Use a pencil to mark the depth of the threaded insert on the small
straw or toothpick.

3) Mark the straw or toothpick 1/8” above the depth of the threaded
insert, as shown in Figure 1.

4) 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.

5) Locate the correct diameter screw for the threaded insert.

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.

6) Test each size of the screws provided

The correct screws should thread easily into the mounting point
and not pull out when tension is applied.
