CHIEF PWS User manual

Plasma Wall Swing-Out (PWS)
Wall Mount
The PWS wall mount is a rugged, versatile, and installer-friendly
solution to unique display mounting requirements. This instruction
manual contains instructions for Model PWS2000.
With the PWS securely mounted on a wall, simply hang your display
like a picture (vertical or horizontal). Using the Q-latch mounting sys-
tem permits you to hang and secure your display quickly.
The PWS allows you pull your display out 23.5” from the wall, pivot
it up to 90 degrees left or right of center, traverse 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 adjustment 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 maximum weight to be installed on the PWS wall mount is 100 pounds (45.36Kg).

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 Flat Panel Display in
an inverted position. Mounting the Flat Panel Display
in an inverted position may cause overheating and
extensive damage to the Flat Panel Display.
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.
