Installing the wall mount
Learn how to install the wall mounts onto different surfaces.
When installing the wall mounts, ensure there is proper spacing between the mounts to accommodate
the panels. Always start with the bottom left display panel in the array.
In areas where the mounting screws will not encounter a wood stud, the screws must go into plywood.
1. Measure the width and height of the display panel.
2. Locate the center of the bottom left display panel in the array.
3. To identify where the mount for the display panel to the right of the first display panel should
be installed, measure the width of the display panel from the center notch of the wall mount of
the first display panel to the center notch of the second display panel (X).
A laser level is recommended for this step.
4. Using the laser level, repeat step 3 and identify the center notch locations for all mounts in the
array.
To identify where the mount for the subsequent rows of display panels should be installed,
measure the height of the display panel from the top of the bottom left display panel to the top
of the first display panel in the second row (Y).
5. Install the screw for the center notches as appropriate for the mounting surface.
6. Install all wall mounts in the bottom row.

Install all rows starting with the far left display panel.
7. After the mounts are installed, remove the white pin and tag from the top of each mount.
Installing the mount to wall studs or plywood
Learn how to install the wall mounts onto plywood.
The hardware provided is for attaching the mount through standard thickness drywall into plywood.
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 the plywood is a minimum Grade BC 1/2" (13 mm)
thickness. Plywood may be covered by drywall up to 5/8" thick.
In areas where the mounting screws do not encounter a wood stud, the screws must be mounted onto
plywood.
1. When installing on wall studs, use an “edge-to-edge” stud finder to locate the edges of the
stud and draw a vertical line down the stud center.
Depending on the size of the display panels and the location of the mounts for the array, the
mount may not be centered on a wall stud.
2. Place the wall mount assembly on the wall to use as a template, and mark the center notch.
3. Drill a 5/32" (4 mm) diameter hole 2.5" (64 mm) deep and install a #14 x 2.5" wood screw,
leaving a 6mm (1/4") gap from the plywood.
4. Hang the wall mount on the center screw.
5. Level the wall mount and mark the center of the other four mounting holes (A).
6. Drill four 5/32" (4 mm) diameter holes 2.5" (64 mm) deep.
7. Tighten the four #14 x 2.5" wood screws so that the wall plate is firmly attached, but do not
over-tighten.
Never tighten in excess of 80 in-lbs (9Nm).

Attaching the adapter brackets to the display
panel
The display panel must have the adapter brackets installed before it can be attached to the wall
bracket.
If the VESA extenders are required, install them onto the brackets before attaching the brackets to the
panel.
1. Turn the adjustment knob on each bracket and align the diamond inside the notches in the
bracket.
The exterior side of the bracket has the diamond and notches. When looking at the back of the
display panel, the bracket in the above image should be installed on the left side of the display
panel.
2. On the back of the panel, center the adapter brackets vertically.
3. Attach the adapter brackets to the back of the display panel using four socket pin screws and
washers. Screw size will vary depending on the display panel.
Spacers may be necessary for some display panels.
When installing display panels in portrait mode, rotate the brackets 90° on the back of the
display panel.
(Optional) Installing the VESA extenders
The VESA extenders change the 400 x 400 VESA pattern to 600 x 400.
The extenders increase the depth of the panel and bracket by 20 mm.
1. Using the hex key provided, install the screw (part G) connecting the top hole of the extender
to the adapter bracket.

2. To allow for adjustment of the bracket to match the VESA points on the panel, install the
bottom screw (part G) loosely.
3. After the adapter brackets have been attached to the LCD display panel, tighten the bottom
screw of the VESA extender.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the second adapter bracket.
5. Attach the extenders and brackets to the panel.
Attaching the display panel to the wall mount
Install the display panel with the brackets onto the wall mount.
1. Hang the adapter brackets onto the wall mount and slide the display panel into position.
2. Using the security screw, loosely fasten the display panel in place.
3. Adjust the panels as necessary.
4. When the panels are aligned, tighten the security screws.
Moving the display panel up and down
Use the height adjustment screw to move the display panel up and down.
1. To raise a side, turn the height adjustment screw clockwise.
2. To lower a side, turn the height adjustment screw counter-clockwise.
