Mounting
BLO-Line monitors are mounted on the wall mount supplied. See chapter: Montage Monitor
The supplied wall mount must be xed with screws that appropriate for the wall and approved for the weight. The dedicated holes at
the wall mount for this have a diameter of 5mm for 24 “-42“ monitors, and a diameter of 8 mm for 46 “- 64.5“ monitors. The monitor
can be hung in landscape format or in portrait format. 3 people are recommended for the installation of larger monitors. It is important
that there is a socket behind the wall mount to which the monitor should be connected. (see picture, data sheets BLO-Line)
Connect the monitors
With the devices of the BLO-Line size of 24 “, 31.5“, 42 “, the monitors are rst hooked into the wall mount at the top and then a bracket
is tipped down at the bottom of the wall mount, which locks the monitor in the wall mount. The connections can thus be reached.
After the monitor is successful connected, the bracket is folded back and the monitor can be folded onto the wall / wall mount into an
upward position. The monitor is xed in this position by using the appropriate numbers of screws at the side of the monitor (scope of
delivery). (see chapter Montage Monitor).
The monitors of the BLO-Line size 46 “, 54.6“, 64.5 “are rst attached to the bottom of the wall mount and attached to the wall mount
with a steel cable (located at the upper end of the devices). So the connections are accessible. After successfully connecting the mon-
itor, it is folded onto the wall or wall mount into an upwards position. The monitor snaps into place on the wall mount in an upward
position and can then be xed by using the appropriate number of screws (scope of delivery). (see chapter assembly monitor)
