NOTE: If mounting wall plate (D) to wood stud wall surface, slots on wall plate (D) must align to studs.
Determine desired location of screen center (refer to step 2) as shown in fig. 1.1, then hook arm onto wall plate (D)
as shown in fig. 1.2.
Using 3/16" allen wrench (L), secure arm (A) to wall plate (D) using two 5/16-18 x 1.75" flat head socket screws (I)
and two 5/16"-18 nuts (J) as shown in fig. 1.3. NOTE: BOTH 5/16-18 x 1.75" flat head socket screws (I) must be
fastened to to wall plate securely using 5/16"-18 nuts (J). Do not adjust arm while screen is attached.

Installation to Double Wood Stud Wall
Determine and mark with a pencil, the desired center of screen on wall. Measure 7" (177 mm) above desired center
of screen and draw a horizontal line to locate placement of wall plate template. Wall plate (D) 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. Align top of template (top
of wall plate) with horizontal line and align slots of wall plate template with wood stud center lines. Level template
(wallplate) on wall and mark center of six mounting holes making sure that mounting holes are on the stud
centerlines. Drill six 3/16" (5mm) dia. pilot holes 3" (76 mm) deep. Level and secure wall plate (D) on wall using six
5/16" x 3" wood screws (E) as shown in fig. 2.2.
NOTE: Wall plate (slot) may be adjusted .875" in either direction off center of wood screw (E) and stud as shown in
detail 1.

Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
Determine and mark with a pencil, the desired center
ofscreenon wall. Measure 7" (177 mm) above desired
center of screen and draw a horizontal line to locate
placement of wall plate template.Align top of template
(topof wall plate) with horizontal line. Leveltemplate
(wallplate) on wall and mark center of six mounting
holes. Drill six 5/16" (8 mm) dia. holes 3" (76.2 mm)
deep. Insert anchors (F) in holes flush with wall as
shown(right).Placewallplate (D) over anchors and
secure with six 5/16" x 3" screws (E) as shown in fig.
2.3. Level wall plate, 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
breakingoutthebackoftheholewhenenteringa void or cavity.
• Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor.
• Makesure that the supporting surface will safely supportthe combined load of the equipment and allattached hard-
wareand components.

4-2 The universal adapter bracket has two fixed stop positions
which lock the extension brackets in the retracted position
(shown right) or extended position (shown below) using the
M5 x 9mm screws.
If the distance between mounting holes on the back of your screen
measure 17.5” (445mm) wide or lesskeep universal adapter
bracket in the retracted position. Skip to step 4-3.
If the distance between mounting holes on the back of your screen
measure wider than 17.5” (445 mm), remove four M5 x 9 mm
socketbutton head screws from universal adapter bracket using
3 mm allen wrench (M), as shown below. NOTE: You may need to
loosen four M5 x 9 mm vertical support screws, as shown in
detail 3, one full turn to adjust extension brackets. Extend both
extension brackets out to the fixed stop positions (threaded hole
showninreverse view below). Secure extension bracket to the
horizontal support by fully tightening M5 x 9 mm socket button
head screws into the fixed stop positions of the extension brackets
using 3 mm allen wrench (M) as shown in the reverse view.
Retighten M5 x 9 mm vertical support screws as shown in detail 3.
• Do not tighten screws with excessive force. Overtightening can cause damage to mount. Tighten M5 x 9 mm vertical
support screws and M5 x 9mm socket button head screws to 35 in. • lb (3.95 N.M.) maximum torque.
