WARNING: When using X-arm™, basic precautions should always be followed, including:

• Read the entire users manual before attempting to use X-arm™.

• Keep everything and everyone away from X-arm™ while in motion. Do not contact moving parts.

• The user must observe the X-arm™ while it is in motion at all times until it is stopped by pressing on one of the
directional arrows on the remote control.

• Follow the installation instructions provided to correctly install X-arm™. To prevent injury, X-arm must be
securely attached to the wall in accordance with the installation instructions.

• X-arm™ restricts movement based upon the TV width set on the side controls of X-arm™. The TV width must
be set correctly before operating X-arm™.

• X-arm™ mounting bracket is intended for use only with the maximum weight of 180 pounds (81 kg). Use with
TVs heavier than 180 pounds (81 kg) may result in instability and cause injury.

• To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when operating X-arm near children.

• Only use attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer. Do not operate X-arm™ without all covers
and guards in place.

• Do not use outdoors.

• X-arm is designed to mount on vertical walls only. Do not mount X-arm on ceilings or non-vertical walls.

• To disconnect, turn all controls to the off (“O”) position, then remove plug from outlet.

• Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing or cleaning.

• Do not operate X-arm with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.

• Connect to a properly grounded outlet only. See Grounding Instructions.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment­grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment­grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualied electrician or serviceman if the grounding

instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with

the appliance – if it will not t the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualied electrician.

This appliance is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating more than
120 V, 15 A and is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 V),

and is factory equipped with a specic electric cord and plug. No adapter

should be used with this appliance. If the appliance must be reconnected
for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be

made by qualied service personnel; and after the reconnection, the

appliance should comply with all local codes and ordinances.

X-arm™ mount is a motorized mount for most at-panel TVs from 40” to 63” (101,6 to 160 cm),
weighing up to 180 pounds (81 kg). X-arm™ allows a viewer to adjust the viewing angle of the
TV with the touch of a remote control button. In the retracted position, the TV is 4.6” (11,68 cm)
from the wall. Activating X-arm™ smoothly extends the TV away from the wall about 12” (30,48
cm) allowing you to swivel the TV from side to side and tilt it up and down. As X-arm™ mount
extends the TV from the wall, a bellows extends with the TV to cover the X-arm™ actuators and
all of TV cables within the bellows. This gives X-arm™ a clean look.

5. Set the X-arm™ TV width

Safety
Clips

It is important to set the correct TV width on X-arm™ to avoid injury or property damage. The X­arm™ restricts movement based upon the TV width that is set.

5-1. Attach the power cord and connect the X-arm™ to a grounded power

outlet. The X-arm™ power cord has a grounding conductor grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet with 3 prongs
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. See the front of this manual for more grounding
instructions.

5-2. Press the power switch to ON (1).
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the X-arm by

using the remote control at this time.

5-3. Measure the total width of the TV including any

side speakers that may be attached to the TV.
Do not use the TV manufacturer’s screen size,
which is measured diagonally, to set the TV
width on X-arm™.

5-4. Insert the provided plastic pointer into the Selector hole, and

press the button until the TV width code corresponds to the
outside width of your TV as indicated in the table below.

Code TV Outside Width
C1 40” - 44.9” (102 - 113 cm)
C2 45” - 48.9” (114 - 123 cm)
C3 49” - 55.9” (124 - 140 cm)
C4 56” - 63.0” (142 - 160 cm)

5-5. Hold the black rubber Set button, below the selector hole, until the TV

width code stops blinking.

5-6. Attach the IR receiver.

5-7. Optional (X700CS & CB Models only): To control X-arm™ with home

automation through the RJ11/RS232 port, see page 22 for instructions.

6. Remove the TV Mounting Brackets

6-1. Extend X-arm™ straight out from the

wall by pressing the MOUNT button
and then the OUT button on the

X-arm is designed to hide cables and the TV power cord by passing them through the bellows to
the wall. Use the cable-separating features built into X-arm™ to keep the power and AV cables
separated to minimize electrical interference and binding as X-arm™ moves.

If the TV power outlet is located outside the bellows of X-arm™, follow the directions below.
If the power outlet for your TV and X-arm™ is located inside the bellows, go to page 9.

7-1. Run A/V cables over the bottom cross bar, through a cable loop and down through the

cable hole in the back of the X-arm.

7-2. Run the TV power cord on the other side the same way.

7-3. Unplug the IR Receiver and run the plug end up over the bottom cross bar, through a

cable hook and out the cable hole. Plug the IR Receiver back into the side of X-arm™.

7-4. The AV, power cord, and IR Receiver cords must be long enough to connect equipment,

but not so long that they get caught in X-arm™ parts. Test this by tilting up, down, and
side to side.

7-5. Using the provided zip ties, fasten all cables to the Cable Bar located near the Cable Hole.

7-6. Using the provided zip ties, fasten the cables to the Bottom Cross Bar so that they pass

over the cross bar. The cables should be at least 2” (5 cm) from the center beam. Cut off
the excess zip tie ends.

7-5. Plug the X-arm™ power cord into X-arm™, run the cord up

through the cable hole and plug it in, gathering the excess with
a cable tie. Place the cord into the space near the cable bar as
shown to the right. Fasten it to the cable bar with another zip tie.

7-6. The AV, power cord, and IR Receiver cords must be long enough

to connect equipment, but not so long that they get caught in X­arm™ parts. Test this by tilting up, down, and side to side.

7-7. Fasten all cables to the cable bar at the back of X-arm™ using

the provided zip ties.

7-8. Fasten the cables to the bottom cross bar so that they are at least
