Christie ML10 Instruction Manual

Installing 46-55" flat
panel screens on the
ML10/MP10 wall mount
The ML10/MP10 is a full-service video wall mount that can accommodate the FHD462-X and FHD552-X
LCD flat panels.
The ML10 mount is used for landscape orientations and the MP10 mount is used for portrait
orientations. The modular mount system features an innovative pull-out and prop-open hinge
mechanism that provides rear screen access, the ability to adjust the X, Y, and Z axis alignment, and
wall plate spacers that set each mount into position.
Features
Use the ML10 and MP10 wall mounts to hang and adjust the flat panels, and to access the rear of the
panels.
• Modular mount for large video wall display configurations.
• Tool-less adjustments of panels for optimal gaps.
• Spring-loaded mechanisms secure displays.

Installing the wall mount
Learn how to install the wall mounts onto different surfaces.
The maximum load capacity of the wall mount is 125 lbs (57 kg). Illustrations are graphical
representations only and are provided to enhance the understanding of the written material.
When installing the wall mounts, ensure there is proper spacing between the mounts to accommodate
the panels. Always start with the bottom left display in the array.
1. Measure the width and height of the display panel.
2. Locate the center of the bottom left display.

Installing the mount to wall studs, plywood, drywall over wall
studs
Learn how to install the wall mounts onto wall studs, plywood, or drywall.
Hardware provided is for attaching the mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood
studs. Installers are responsible for providing the hardware for other types of mounting situations.
When installing the wall mounts on a wood stud wall covered with plywood, verify that the wood studs
are a minimum of 2" x 4" nominal size and plywood is a minimum 1/2" (13 mm) thickness. Plywood
may be covered by drywall up to 5/8" thick.
1. Use an “edge-to-edge” stud finder to locate the edges of the stud.
2. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down the stud center.
3. Place the pull out mount assembly on the wall to use as a template, and verify the pull out
mount is level on the center line of the stud.
4. Mark the center of the four mounting holes.

In the landscape orientation, make sure there is a minimum 16” (406.4 mm) horizontal
distance between the #14 x 2.5” screws.
Landscape orientation Portrait orientation
5. Drill four 5/32" (4 mm) diameter holes 2-1/2" (65 mm) deep.
6. Tighten the four #14 x 2.5" wood screws and fender washers so that the wall plate is firmly
attached, but do not over-tighten.
Never tighten in excess of 80 in-lbs (9Nm).
Installing the mount to solid concrete or cinder block
Learn how to install the wall mounts onto solid concrete or cinder block walls.
Warning! Failure to comply with the following could result in death or serious injury.
• Concrete must be a minimum of 2000 psi density. Lighter density concrete may not hold the
concrete anchor.
• The supporting structure must safely support the combined load of the product, all attached
hardware, and components following all local safety standards and regulations.
When installing wall mounts onto cinder blocks, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" (35 mm) of
actual concrete thickness in the hole to be used for the concrete anchors. Cinder block must meet
ASTM C-90 specifications and a minimum nominal width of 8".
1. Place the pull out mount assembly on the wall to use as a template, and verify the pull out
mount is level.
2. Mark the center of the four mounting holes.
In the landscape orientation, make sure there is a minimum 16” (406.4 mm) horizontal
distance between the #14 x2.5” screws.

3. Use a standard electric drill on slow setting to drill four 5/16” (8 mm) diameter holes to a
minimum depth of 2.5” (64 mm).
To avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity, do not use a
hammer drill. On cinder block walls, mount in a solid part of the block, generally 1" (25 mm)
minimum from the side of the block. Do not drill into mortar joints.
4. Insert anchors into the holes flush with the wall.
Never attach concrete expansion anchors to concrete covered with plaster, drywall, or other
finishing material. If mounting to concrete surfaces covered with a finishing surface is
unavoidable, the finishing surface must be counter bored, as shown in the image below.
5. Place the pull out mount assembly over the anchors and secure it with four #14 x 2.5”
screws, and fender washers.
Make sure concrete anchors do not pull away from the concrete when tightening screws. If
the wall is covered with plaster, drywall, or other finishing material thicker than 5/8" (16
mm), custom fasteners must be supplied by the installer.
6. Tighten the four #14 x 2.5" wood screws and fender washers so that the wall plate is firmly
attached, but do not over-tighten.
Never tighten in excess of 80 in-lbs (9Nm).
Installing the mount to a Unistrut P series metal frame
Learn how to install a wall mount onto the Unistrut metal frame channel.
When installing Peerless wall mounts to Unistrut "P" Series metal framing channels, the channels must
be installed and supported per the Unistrut design specifications. Use only compatible Unistrut
hardware. Never exceed maximum load capacity of Unistrut channel or supporting surface.
1. Insert the 1/4-20 Unistrut channel nut with spring on the Unistrut metal frame channel.
2. Level and install the Unistrut P series metal frame channel to the wall according to the
instructions included with the Unistrut frame.
3. Attach the wall mount to the Unistrut metal frame channel with the 1/4-20 hex head screws.

Installing the mount to the F100 frame
Learn how to install the wall mounts onto the F100 frame.
1. Make sure all components within the video wall are level, starting with the P100 Pedestal. If
the floor surface is not level adjust the feet on the pedestal.
For information on installing the P100 pedestal and the F100 frame, see P100 Pedestal and
F100 Frame for FHD552-X Installation Manual (020-101714-xx).
2. Install the F100 Frame onto the pedestal.
If the F100 Frame is used as stand alone unit it must be leveled before securing the wall
mount.
3. Before installing the wall mount use a standard level to check alignment on the horizontal and
vertical edge of the frame.
4. Position the wall mount within the center of the frame, aligning it with the mounting holes.
5. Tighten the wall mount to the F100 Frame using the four M6 screws.
Never tighten in excess of 80 in- lbs (9Nm).

achieve a 9 mm (0.35”) gap.
7. Adjust the bottom knob of the adapter bracket to achieve a 14 mm (0.55”) gap. If further
adjustment is required, leave a 1 mm (0.04”) minimum clearance to allow the bracket to be
easily released.

10. Check that the mount is level. If necessary fine adjust the vertical position.
11. Adjust the vertical position of the panel to leave a minimum 1 mm (0.04”) gap between
panels so the weight of the panels do not rest on the panels underneath.
Always adjust the X position of the panels individually, rather than pushing an entire row left
to right. For example, if you are constructing a 3x3 video wall push the panels individually
from the right and left sides, towards the center of the wall.
