CHIEF PWS Series User manual

Plasma Wall Swing-Out (PWS Series)
Wall Mount
The PWS wall mount is a rugged, versatile, and installer-friendly
solution to unique display mounting requirements.
With the brackets attached to the display and the PWS securely
mounted on a wall, simply hang your plasma like a picture (vertical or
horizontal). Alignment hooks support your screen in place while
mounting hardware is secured.
The PWS allows you pull your display (max. 50”) out 21” from the
wall, pivot it up to 90 degrees (max. 42”) left or right of center, traver-
set up to 22” left or right of center, and adjust the pitch 5 degrees up
and 15 degrees down. The PWS also provides 2 degrees roll adjust-
ment right and left for screen leveling.
Two electrical box openings in the wall plate is provided for cabling.
The cable tray hides cables for aesthetics and cable protection.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
•Caution: To prevent damage to the PWS, which could affect or void the Factory warranty, and to the equipment that
will be attached to it, thoroughly study all instructions and illustrations before you begin the installation. Pay particu-
lar attention to the “Important Warnings and Precautions” on Page 1.
• The PWS wall mount is designed to be installed using wall studs or supporting framework. The wall to which the PWS wall
mount is anchored must be capable of supporting five times the total weight of the mount and all attached equipment.

INSPECT THE UNIT BEFORE INSTALLING
WARNING: Watch for pinch points. Do not put your fingers
between movable parts.
1. Carefully inspect the PWS for shipping damage. If any damage
is apparent, call your carrier claims agent and do not continue
with the installation until the carrier has reviewed the damage.
NOTE: Read all instructions before starting installation.
2. Lay out components to ensure you have all the required parts
before proceeding:
1 PWS (see PWS dimensional drawing on page 2)
1 PDB Package (see PDB Instruction Sheet for
contents of this package)
PWS INSTALLATION
WARNING: It is the responsibility of the installer to verify that
the wall to which the PWS is anchored will safely
support the combined load of all attached compo-
nents and equipment.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to mount the Plasma Display Panel
(PDP) in an inverted position. Mounting the PDP in
an inverted position may cause overheating and
extensive damage to the PDP.
Install the PWS as follows:
1. Determine the exact mounting location prior to installation,
considering the unit’s total swing arm radius.
2. Using the wall plate as a pattern, transfer the mounting hole
pattern to the wall.
NOTE: Notice the wall plate has a nominal hole (2”X4”) to
accommodate a duplex wall outlet.
3. Drill pilot holes at the desired height.
WARNING: Improper installation can result in serious per-
sonal injury! Make sure that the structural mem-
bers can support a redundant weight factor five
times the total weight of the equipment: if not,
reinforce the structure before installing the PWS.
4. With the PWS correctly oriented and level, secure the PWS to
the wall using a minimum of four fasteners (not included). Fas-
teners must be driven into the supporting wall studs or other
supporting framework.
