Wall plate (A) can be mounted to two studs that are 16" apart. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs.
Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down each
stud’s center. Place wall plate on wall as a template. The top mounting slots should be located .43" below the
desired screen center. Level plate, and mark the center of the eight mounting holes. Make sure that the mounting
holes are on the stud centerlines. Drill eight 7/32" dia. holes 3" deep. Make sure that the wall plate is level, secure it
using eight 5/16 x 3" wood screws (O) and washers (P).

Installation to Wood Stud Wall
P

O
• 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.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).
• 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. Install-
ers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations (not evaluated by UL).
WARNING

6 of 14 ISSUED: 06-05-06 SHEET #: 202-9142-10 (2014-03-17)
Use wall plate (A), making sure that it is level, as
a template to mark holes. The top mounting slots
should be located .43" below the desired screen
center. Use the masonry bit to drill 3/8" (10mm)
dia. holes to a minimum depth of 3" (76 mm). Insert
anchors (V) in holes flush with wall as shown (right).
Place wall plate (A) over anchors (V) and secure
with 5/16 x 3" wood screws (O) and washers (P).

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block Wall
A
O
P
V
• When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" of actual 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 suggested that a standard electric drill on 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 be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor.
• Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.
WARNING
• Tighten wood screws so that wall plate is firmly at-
tached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can
damage screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in • lb (9 N.M.).
WARNING
• Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly
to load-bearing concrete.
• Never attach concrete expansion anchors to con-
crete covered with plaster, drywall, or other finishing
material. If mounting to concrete surfaces covered
with a finishing surface is unavoidable (not evaluated
by UL), the finishing surface must be counterbored
as shown below. If plaster/drywall is thicker than
5/8", custom fasteners must be supplied by installer
(not evaluated by UL).

Note: "X" dimensions should be equal.
• Tighten screws so adapter brackets are firmly attached. Do not tighten with excessive force. Overtightening can
cause stress damage to screws, greatly reducing their holding power and possibly causing screw heads to become
detached. Tighten to 40 in. • lb (4.5 N.M.) maximum torque.
• If screws don't get three complete turns in the screen inserts or if screws bottom out and bracket is still not tightly
secured, damage may occur to screen or product may fail.
WARNING
Installing Adapter Brackets
To prevent scratching the screen, set a cloth on a flat, level surface that will support the weight of the screen. Place
screen face side down. Refer to screen manufacturers instructions or customer service, for removing any knobs,
base, cover, or screw(s) on the back of the screen to prepare mounting. These need to be removed to allow the
adapter brackets to be attached. Select the small, medium, large or extra large screws from the baffled fastener
pack then attach adapter brackets (BB) to screen following figure 7.1 or 7.2.
NOTE: Top and bottom mounting holes on screen must be used for attaching brackets. Verify that all holes are
properly aligned, and then tighten screws using a phillips screwdriver.

Begin with the shortest length screw, hand thread through multi-washer and adapter bracket into display as
shown below. Screw must make at least three full turns into the mounting hole and fit snug into place. Do not
over tighten. If screw cannot make three full turns into the display, select a longer length screw from the baffled
fastener pack. Repeat for remaining mounting holes, level brackets and tighten screws.
NOTE: Spacers may not be used, depending upon the type of display.
Begin with longer length screw, hand thread through multi-washer, adapter bracket and spacer in that order into
display as shown below. Screw must make at least three full turns into the mounting hole and fit snug into place.
Do not over tighten. If screw cannot make three full turns into the display, select a longer length screw from the

Position of screen may be adjusted vertically up to .79" in each direction by doing the following:
• To raise screen, turn hex nut shown in figure 10.1 clockwise with 3/4" open-end wrench (not provided).
• To lower screen, turn hex nut shown in figure 10.1 counterclockwise with 3/4" open-end wrench (not provided).
If it is too difficult to adjust roll of plasma, loosen
screws shown in figure 9.1 using a phillips
screwdriver.
IMPORTANT! Do not loosen or tighten screws
more than 1/8 turn.
Depending on the specific size & weight of the plas-
ma, articulating swing arm may be angled at different
positions, causing plasma to appear to lean sideways
at different articulating positions. Tilt-roll assembly (B)
allows plasma to be manually adjusted, so plasma
can be horizontal at all positions. To adjust, gently
rotate plasma by hand to desired position.
