WARNING
Installation to Wood Stud Wall
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 .36"
abovethe desired screen center for PLA60-UNL, PLA60-UNL-S,PLA60-UNLP, PLA60-UNLP-SandRTPLA60-
S and .43" below the desired screen center for PLAV 60-UNL, PLAV 60-UNL-S, PLAV 60-UNLP and PLAV 60-
UNLP-S. 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).
