3 MBE-27/28 Wall Mount Applications
The MBE-27B, MBE-27W, and the MBE-28B Brackets can be
mounted directly to a wall or to the MBE-17 Wall-Mount
Adapter. The MBE-17 Wall-Mount Adapter provides extra
support and can withstand heavier loads.
The MBE-28 Bracket also allows cables to run through the arm
and up the mount head at the end of the arm to connect to the
camera.
For a secure mounting installation, bolts should extend through
the mounting surface and be secured with nuts, washers, and
lock washers on the opposite side.
If studs are used, they should either be anchored in concrete or
welded to a steel backer plate.
3.1 Mounting the MBE-27/28 to a Wall
The MBE-27/28 can be mounted directly to a wall surface and
can support up to 25 kg (55 lbs). Use the MBE-17 wall-mount
adapter if your application requires extra support. Refer to
Section 3.2 Mounting the MBE-27/28 with the MBE-17 Wall
Adapter, page 9.
1. Determine a secure mounting location for the wall
installation.
2. Use the four (4) holes on the flanges of the MBE-27/28
wall-mount bracket as a template to mark the position
where the holes should be drilled to secure the mount.
MBE-28: If routing cables through the wall, drill a 25 mm
(1 in.) hole placed exactly in the middle of the four (4)
marked holes.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the mounting fasteners have a minimum pull-out
strength of 300 kg (661.4 lbs) per screw.

3. Drill the four (4) holes in the installation location.
4. Using four bolts or studs (not supplied) with nuts,
washers, and lock washers, fasten the MBE-27/28 to its
mounting location and tighten all nuts securely.
Note: The minimum diameter bolt (or stud) required is
6 mm (.25 in.).
3.2 Mounting the MBE-27/28 with the MBE-17
Wall Adapter
The MBE-17 Wall-Mount Adapter provides increased support for
the MBE-27 and the MBE-28 bracket. The MBE-17 also provides
a mounting location for the EXMB.020B L-bracket, a heavy-duty
bracket used to mount an additional piece of equipment, such
as an illuminator.
The combination of the MBE-27/28 and the MBE-17 can support
a total weight of 45 kg (100 lbs).
Note: The MBE-17 Wall-Mount Adapter has two distinct hole
patterns for attaching various mounting brackets. Use the 94.2
x 40 mm (3.71 x 1.57 in.) hole pattern with the MBE-27/28
bracket. (Use the 86 x 40 mm hole pattern with the old
EXMB.023 or EXMB.028 bracket.)
Refer to Section 6 Dimensional Outlines, page 20, for detailed
dimensional drawings.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the mounting fasteners have a minimum pull-out
strength of 300 kg (661.4 lbs) per screw.
NOTICE!
The fasteners and mounting surface must be capable of
supporting a maximum load of 25 kg (55 lbs).

1. Determine a secure mounting location for the wall
installation.
2. Use the six (6) holes on the flanges of the MBE-17 wall-
mount adapter as a template to mark the position where
the holes should be drilled to secure the adapter.
MBE-28: If routing cables through the wall, use the center
hole on the MBE-17 as a template to drill through the wall.
3. Drill the six (6) holes in the installation location, bolts not
supplied.
Note: The minimum diameter bolt (or stud) required is
6 mm (.25 in.).
4. Orient the MBE-17 so that the 94.2 x 40.0 mm
(3.71 x 1.57 in.) hole pattern is at the top.
5. Using six bolts (or studs) with nuts, washers, and lock
washers, fasten the MBE-17 to its mounting location and
tighten all nuts securely.
6. Align the four holes on the MBE-27B, MBE-27W, or the
MBE-28B bracket with the 94.2 x 40 mm (3.71 x 1.57 in.)
hole pattern on the MBE-17 adapter.
CAUTION!
Ensure that the mounting fasteners have a minimum pull-out
strength of 300 kg (661.4 lbs) per screw
