CHIEF Centris FHP-110 User manual

Small Flat Panel Ceiling Mount
with Adjustable Column (FHP-110)

VESA® 75mm/100mm compliant displays. The mount includes
an adjustable column, cable management, and a variety of
screen positioning options. The all-metal mount is available in
either silver, black or white.
The slender column on the mount is finely finished with easy

mounting of your display. The friction-adjustable pivot points
include 15 degrees of up and down tilt for customized move-
ment.

bers can support a redundant weight factor five
times the total weight of the equipment: if not,
reinforce the structure before installing the FWP.
