Using a stud finder, locate and mark the edges of the wood stud. Use of an edge to edge stud finder is highly
recommended. Use a level to draw a vertical line down the center of the stud. Use the wall plate of the mount(AA)

as shown in figure A.1. Drill three 3/16" (5 mm) dia. pilot holes 2" (76 mm) deep. Attach the mount(AA)
to wall using three M6 X 60 cross slotted head screw (G) as shown in fig. A.2. Level the plate, then tighten all fasteners.
Installation to Single Wood Stud Wall
•Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.
•Tighten wood screws so that wall plate is firmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the
screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
•Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the stud. The use of an "edge to edge" stud finder is
highly recommended.
•Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs. Installers
are responsible for providing hardware for other types of mounting situations.

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
Use wall plate (AA) as template to mark mounting
holes.The top mounting hole should be 5" above the
desired screen center as shown in figure A.1 on page 4.
Drill three 5/16" (8 mm) dia. holes 2" (50 mm) deep as
shown in fig. B.1. Insert concrete anchor (H
secure with M6x 60 screws ( G). Level, then tighten all
fasteners.
•When installing the wall mount to cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" of actual solid concrete
thickness in the hole to be used for the concrete anchors. Do not drill into mortar joints! Be sure to mount in a solid
part of the block, generally 1" minimum from the side of the block. Cinder block must meet ASTM C-90 specifications.
It is recommended that a standard electric drill set on a slow setting is used to drill the hole instead of a hammer
drill to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity.
•Concrete must have a 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold the concrete anchor.
•Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hard-
ware and components.

•Always attach concrete anchors directl to load-
bearing concrete.
•Never attach concrete 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
counterbored as shown below. Be sure concrete
anchors do not pull away from concrete when tighten-
ing screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8",
custom fasteners must be supplied by the installer.
WARNING
•Tighten screws so that wall plate is firmly attached,
but do not overti hten. Overtightening can damage
screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
