INSTALLATION
Preinstallation
IMPORTANT ! : Reference the LED module installation
manual for specific instructions regarding care, handling,
cabling and installation of the LED modules.
CAUTION: Handle the LED modules with care, being
careful to not impact or drop the LED module.
CAUTION: There is a magnetic surface on the front of the
LED module. To prevent damage ensure that no metallic
object is pulled onto the LED module.
NOTE: When planning the installation, remember the
requirement to run power and signal to the video wall.
Determining Installation Site
IMPORTANT ! : The top of the LED housing is 5" above
the center line of the mounting slots. (See Figure 1)
1. Determine location for the top left corner of the LED wall.
(See Figure 1)
2. Make a mark 5" below the planned top left corner of the LED
wall. (See Figure 1)
3. Using a level, mark a horizontal line across width of LED
wall from the mark made in Step 2.
NOTE: This line will indicate the center line of the mounting slots
for the top mount(s) in the LED wall. (See Figure 1) and
(See Figure 2)
Figure 1
Figure 2
(OPTIONAL) Attaching Horizontal Connectors
NOTE: The horizontal connectors (A) must be attached if the
LED wall will be wider than one mount.
NOTE: It will be easier to attach the connectors before
installing the mount to the wall. However, the
connectors may still be attached after the wall mount is
already on the wall.
1. Lay mount on floor and place horizontal connectors (A)
against right edge of wall mount. (See Figure 3)
2. Attach two connectors to each wall mount using two 1/4-20
x 1/2" button head cap screws (B) per horizontal connector.

Installing First Mount
The TIL1X2AA / TIL1X3AA /TIL1X4AA (Absen Acclaim Series)
LED wall mounts are designed to be mounted to:
• a bare 8" concrete or 8"x8"x16" concrete block wall; or
• a 3/4" thickness plywood-backed, 2" x 4" wood studs
(16" on center minimum) wall with a maximum drywall
thickness of 5/8"; or
• a 3/4" thickness plywood-backed, steel stud wall
covered with drywall having a maximum thickness of
5/8".
Table 1: Fastener Information
1. Hold furthest left, top wall mount against wall ensuring that
mounting slot is lined up with center line marked on the wall
in Determining Installation Site section. Double-check
with a level. (See Figure 4)
2. Mark mounting holes in two top mounting slots along the
horizontal line marked in Step 3. (See Figure 4)
NOTE: The center of the mounting holes are 14.25" apart on-
center. (See Figure 4)
Figure 4
3. Drill two pilot holes (see Table 1 for size) at each location
marked in Step 2 (See Figure 4) and follow fastener
information (appropriate for wall type) located in Table 1.

allows the installer to pre-install the top mounting
fasteners and hang the mount from them utilizing the
mount’s teardrop slots. This allows the weight of the
mount to be held by the mounting bolts and not the
installer during installation.
Figure 5
5. Hang wall mount, aligning upper teardrop slots over
fasteners, and adjust side-to-side for proper location. (See
Figure 5)
NOTE: The horizontal slots located along the vertical mount
pieces indicate the approximate center line of the two
LED modules. The vertical slots located along the
horizontal mount pieces indicate the horizontal center
line of the mount. The slots can be used to hold a tape
measure tab while measuring. (See Figure 6)
