You must secure the mount to two (2) wall studs with four (4)

lag bolts (2 lag bolts for each stud found).

1) Use a stud nder 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.

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

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.

2) Tighten all lag bolts using a socket wrench and 1/2” socket.

Do not overtighten the lag bolts when attaching the mount to

the wall. Improper installation may result in personal injury or
property damage.

Installing OPTIONAL Model Specic Spacers

PFW 6880 dedicated at-panel spacers are engineered with the knowledge
that aligning each at-panel on a large wall is time consuming and costly.
These model-specic spacers are available for most at-panels, which
signicantly reduces the installation time. (Call Customer Service to inquire
about model specic spacers.)

Installationsanleitung, Guía de Instalacíon, Guida de Installazione, Guide d’Installation, Installatie gids

This spacer is shown for illustration purposes only. Your spacer may
look different depending on the display model you are installing.

1) Once your PFW 6880 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 installation (depending on the wall material).
You may utilize the same spacer for multiple PFW 6880 installations.

PFW 6880

Installation Guide

1

Multiple PFW 6880 mounts can be installed using model specic spacers.
Simply repeat step one when installing each of the surrounding PFW 6880
mounts. Use one spacer for each 2x2 installation by mounting it to the wall,

or utilize the same spacer as many times needed to complete an unlimited

PFW 6880 large matrix video wall.

1. Make sure the spacer is plumb and level and mark each corner where
the PFW 6880 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
PFW 6880’s 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

PFW 6880 should be and secure your mount to the wall.

Selecting the Mounting Hardware

1) Insert a small straw or toothpick into the threaded

inserts found on the back of the at-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

Marking the 1/8”
Allowance

mark.

PFW 6880

Installation Guide

Universal Washers are designed to accommodate the

various M4, M5, M6 and M8 hole sizes required by at-

panels.

Do not place excessive pressure on the back of the

at-panel, as this may damage your at-panel.

The Universal Washer must be installed between

the head of the mounting screw and the mounting
bracket as shown.

Does your at-panel have:

● Recessed mount points?

● Uneven mount points?

● A curved back?

● Any obstruction near the mount point?

Mount Point

Universal Spacers allow you to attach the mounting
bracket to at-panels which have recessed or uneven
mount points. Each Universal Spacer adds 1/4” to

the distance between the mounting bracket and your

at-panel.

The Universal Spacers must be stacked and

oriented as shown.

The Universal Spacers must only be installed

between the mounting bracket and your at-panel.

Proceed to the “Attaching the Mounting Bracket to
the Flat-Panel” section.

Attaching the Mounting Brackets to the Flat-Panel

This section presumes that you have read and understood thes
"Selecting the Proper Mounting Hardware" section.

1) Secure each mounting bracket to your at-panel by inserting
a minimum of two (2) screws per bracket.

Do not overtighten the mounting hardware.

Make sure the directional arrows on the mounting

brackets are facing up.

NOTE: For smaller vesa bolt patterns, reverse the
mounting brackets.

2) Before tightening the screws, push the bracket up to

remove slack from the bracket, then tightened the

screw.

Attaching the Flat-Panel to the Mount

Mounting bracket adjustments are factory pre-set (see Note).

This section requires two people.

Do not release your at-panel until you are certain that top and

bottom hooks of both mounting brackets are securely seated
on the upper and lower mounting rails of the wall panel.

1) Raise the at-panel past the top and bottom mounting rails on the
wall panel.

2) Slide the at-panel down slowly, keeping it close to the wall.

3) Engage the top and bottom mounting brackets to the rails of the
mount.

Note: These registers must
align prior to installation.
They are factory set.

Check to determine proper

alignment

Post-Installation Adjustments

The PFW 6880 has a set of post-installation adjustments on each

mounting bracket (Figure 1).

Use the M5 Allen Driver (supplied) to ne-tune adjust.

PFW 6880

Installation Guide

See Note

Make sure the the locking safety screws are loosened before making
adjustments.

Note: Screws have a limited travel adjustment.

Do not overtighten or over adjust the screw to avoid damage to
threaded holes.

Locking Safety Screw Installation

The locking safety screws keep the at-panel from being

accidently dislodged from the PFW 6880.

1) Locate the pre-installed security locking safety screw at the bottom
of each of the mounting brackets.

2) Use the M5 Allen driver (supplied) to tighten the locking safety
screw.

Use the GAPit GO/No Go Gauge (supplied with model specific spacer) as a final step in

the process to inspect and adjust the gap to prevent costly replacement and extend the

lifespan of the displays.

Damage happens when weight is transferred to the ultra-thin bezels of

video wall installations, if the recommended gap specications of .050” is

not maintained vertically and horizontally. This results in image distortion,

and costly repairs and replacement.

Maintenance

1) Push evenly in the front of the PFW 6880 to release the single latch
spring lock(Figure 1).

Servicing

1) Slowly pull the front of the PFW 6880 to extend the scissor arms
(Figure 2).

2) Loosen the locking safety screws on both mounting brackets.

3) Tilt up the bottom of the at-panel, then set their kickstands
against the bottom tubing of the mount (Figures 2 & 3).

You can now reach behind the at-panel for maintenance and
servicing or replacement. After servicing, make sure the spring

lock is locked again in the mount’s closed position.
