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).
Skip to step 2 on page 6.

• 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.).
• Never mount this product to metal studs.
• 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.
• Never exceed the Maximum UL Load Capacity of 200 lb (91 kg).

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

• 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
attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening
can damage screws, greatly reducing their holding
power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in • lb (9 N.M.).
• 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).

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.
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 8.1
clockwise with 3/4" open-end wrench (not provided).
• To lower screen, turn hex nut shown in figure
8.1 counterclockwise with 3/4" open-end wrench (not
provided).
If it is too difficult to adjust roll of plasma, loosen
screws shown in figure 7.1 using a phillips screw-
driver.
IMPORTANT! Do not loosen or tighten screws
more than 1/8 turn.
