INSTALLATION
Secure Wall Bracket
WARNING: It is the responsibility of the installer to ver-
ify that the surface to which the FWD-111 is
anchored will safely support the combined
load of all attached components and equip-
ment.
Install the FWD-111 as follows:
1. Determine the exact mounting location prior to installa-
tion, considering the unit’s swing and extension radius.
WARNING: Improper installation can result in serious
personal injury! Make sure that the struc-
tural members can support a redundant
weight factor five times the total weight of
the equipment. If not, reinforce the struc-
ture before installing the FWD-111.
2. Using the wall bracket (120) as a template, drill two 3/32”
pilot holes to a minimum depth of 1-1/2”.
3. Using two #10 x 2-1/2” wood screws (100) and two wash-
ers (110), secure the wall bracket (120). See Figure 2.
4. Check mount to insure it is level and adjust to level if nec-
essary.
5. Make sure no power is supplied to the display before
attempting to mount the display.
6. Remove four screws (supplied) from the back of your dis-
play (see Figure 3).
Tighten Centris Adjustment Screw
1. Check adjustment screw on the Centris mount interface to
ensure that the screw is tight. See Figure 4.
2. If needed, use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screw.
