Installation to Double Wood Stud Wall
1Wall plate (AA) can be mounted to two studs that are 16" apart. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs.
Useof 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 2.5" (65 mm) above the
desired screen center as shown in figure 1.1. Level plate, and mark the center of the four mounting holes. Make sure
that the mounting holes are on the stud centerlines. Drill four 5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2-1/2" (65 mm) deep. Make
sure that the wall plate is level, secure it using four #14 x 2.5" wood screws (CC) as shown in figure 1.2.
Skip to step 2.

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
1Make sure that wall plate (AA) is level, use it as a
template to mark four mountingholes. The topmounting
holeshouldbe 2.5" (65 mm) above the desired screen
center as shown in figure 1.1 on page 4. Drill four 1/4"
(6 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2.5" (65 mm).
Insert anchors (DD) in holes flush with wall as shown
(right).Placewallplate over anchors and secure with
#14 x 2.5" screws (CC). Level, then tighten all fasteners.
• 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 meetASTM 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
breakingoutthebackoftheholewhenenteringavoidorcavity.
• Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor.
• Makesurethat the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hard-
wareandcomponents.

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. If screen has knobs on the back, remove them to allow the adapter brackets to be attached.
Place adapter brackets (BB) on back of screen, align to holes, and center on back of screen as shown below.
Attach the adapter brackets to the back of the screen using the appropriate combination of screws, washers and
spacers as shown in figure 2.1 or 2.2.
NOTE: Top and bottom holes must always be used.
