Installation to Double Wood Stud Wall
Attach adhesive bumper strip (PP) to wall bracket (BB). Next attach one adhesive bumper strip (QQ) to each side of
swing arm (FF).
Note: Be sure swing arm is in correct position as shown with plastic cap at top.
1
Using wall bracket (BB) as a template, drill eight
5/32" (4 mm) diameter holes to a minimum depth of
2-1/2" (64 mm) into stud centers. Attach wall
bracket using #14 phillips wood screws (HH) and
phillips screwdriver (not provided).
Skip to step 3, page 7.

• Tighten wood screws so that wall bracket 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 studs. The use of an "edge to edge"
stud finder is highly recommended.

Use wall bracket (BB), making sure that it is level,
as a template to mark holes. Drill 1/4" (6 mm)
diameter holes to a minimum depth of 2.5" (64 mm).
Insert anchors in holes flush with wall as shown
(right). Place wall bracket over anchors and secure
with #14 x 2.5" (6 mm x 65 mm) wood screws (HH).
Tighten all fasteners.
Installation to Solid Concrete or Cinder Block
2
• 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 specifica-
tions. 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.
• Makesure that thesupporting surfacewill safelysupport the combinedload ofthe equipmentand all attachedhard-
wareand components.
WARNING
• Tighten screws so that wall bracket 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 studs. The use of an "edge to edge"
stud finder is highly recommended.

Use the tables on accompanying screen compatibility chart to assemble the adapter bracket. First, find your screen brand
and model in the tables on accompanying screen compatibility chart. Find the configuration letter which corresponds to
your screen. This letter will be used to determine the proper method of assembly for the adapter bracket. Continue to the
table on the last page of accompanying screen compatibility chart.
Example:For a Sony model KDL-42XBR950 42" screen, use configuration C.

Place the screen on the floor face down. Set a cloth on the floor to prevent scratching the screen. If the screen
has knobs on the back, remove them. Place adapter bracket on the center of the screen. Slide the vertical
brackets (B) along the c-channels (D) of the adapter bracket until the slots on the back of the vertical brackets
are aligned to the holes on the back of the screen. Fasten vertical brackets to c-channels using four 10-32 x 3/8"
serrated head socket pin screws (M).
Note: Do not fully tighten the screws to allow the adapter bracket to slide along the vertical brackets freely.

Slide the vertical brackets (B) along the c-channels (D) of the adapter bracket until the slots on the back of the
vertical brackets are aligned to the holes on the back of the screen. Fully tighten the four 10-32 x 3/8" screws (M)
which hold the vertical brackets to the c-channels. Refer to the table on the last page of accompanying screen
compatibility chart to determine the proper fasteners to use. Attach the assembled adapter bracket to the back of
the screen using screws, upper and lower spacers as pictured. Verify that all holes are properly aligned, then use a
phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws.
Note: See figure 5 below for slot sizes.
Example: For a Sony model KDL-42XBR950 42" screen, attach the plate to the screen using screws (F or H) and
upper spacers (O) through the small slots on the vertical brackets. Lower spacers are not required for this
configuration.

Depending on the specific size and weight of the screen, the articulating swing arm may be angled at
different positions, causing the screen to appear to lean sideways at different articulating positions. The
pitch roll assembly (GG) allows the screen to be manually adjusted to appear horizontal at all times. To
adjust, gently rotate the screen by hand to the desired position.
Note: Center bolt is factory torqued for optimal performance to adjust for range of screen sizes.
If it is too difficult to adjust roll of screen, torque may be adjusted by following the procedures below.
Adjust tilt adjustment knob (LL) to allow maximum tilt.
Insert 3/4" open-end wrench (not provided) into side of pitch roll assembly (GG) and rotate center bolt
counterclockwise to loosen torque.
Note: Do not loosen or tighten more than 1/8 turn.
