Installing OPTIONAL Model Specic Spacers
Use commercially available hardware to secure the spacer.
Utilize the same spacer for multiple VMT-MXL installations.
For illustration only. VMT-MXL Spacer will vary.
Multiple VMT-MXL mounts can be installed using model specic
spacers. Simply repeat step one when installing each of the
surrounding VMT-MXL mounts. Use one spacer for each 2x2
installation by mounting it to the wall, or utilize the same spacer
as many times needed to complete an unlimited VMT-MXL large
matrix video wall.
1. Plumb and level and mark each corner where the VMT-MXL
will be mounted (or secure to the wall).
2. Install the second mount working in a horizontal direction.
3. Square, Level, and Plumb.
4. Repeat this step for each mount horizontally
1) Mount the VMT-MXL to the desired location.
2) Align and Level the spacer to the corner register tabs
of the mount.

For ease of installation
Model-specic spacers are availible for most at-panel
displays. Engineered with the intent of signicantly reducing
installation tim on large video wall array. Contact Customer
Service to inquire about model specic spacers.

1) Insert a small straw or toothpick into the threaded inserts found
on the back of the at-panel.
2) Use a pencil to mark the depth of the threaded insert on the
small straw or toothpick.
3) Mark the straw or toothpick 1/8” above the depth of the
threaded insert, as shown in Figure 1.
4) Insert the small straw or toothpick into the remaining threaded
inserts to compare and verify their depth using the straw or
toothpick’s 1/8” allowance mark.
5) Locate the correct diameter screw for the threaded insert.
If the selected screw is longer than the 1/8” allowance mark
on the small straw or toothpick, as shown in Figure 2 and
Figure 3, do not use this screw. The screw length must not
bypass the mark.
6) Test each size of the screws provided.
The correct screws should thread easily into the mounting
point and not pull out when tension is applied.

Universal Spacers allow the user to attach the mounting bracket
to at-panels which have recessed or uneven mount points. Each
Universal Spacer adds 1/4” to the distance between the mounting
bracket and the at-panel.
The Universal Spacers must be stacked and oriented as
shown.
The Universal Spacers must only be installed between the
mounting bracket and the at-panel.

Mounting bracket adjustments are factory pre-set (see Note).
This section requires two people.
Do not release your at-panel until you are certain that top and
bottom hooks of both mounting brackets are securely seated
on the upper and lower mounting rails of the wall panel.
1) Raise the at-panel past the top and bottom mounting rails on the
wall panel.
2) Slide the at-panel down slowly, keeping it close to the wall.
3) Engage the top and bottom mounting brackets to the rails of the
mount.
Note: These registers must
align prior to installation.
They are factory set.
Check to determine proper
alignment
Attaching the Flat-Panel to the Mount
The locking safety screws keep the at-panel from
being accidently dislodged from the VMT-MXL.
1) Locate the pre-installed security locking safety screw at
the bottom of each of the mounting brackets.
2) Use the M5 Allen driver (supplied) to tighten the locking
safety screw.
Locking Safety Screw Installation
Do not overtighten the locking safety screws.

1. Swipe GAPit along vertical gap
2. Inspect for .050” gap & adjust if
needed
3. Swipe GAPit along horizontal gap
4. Inspect for .050” gap & adjust if
needed
Damage happens when weight is transferred to the ultra-thin bezels of video wall installations,
if the recommended gap specications of .050” is not maintained vertically and horizontally.
This results in image distortion, and costly repairs and replacement
Use the GAPit GO/No Go Gauge (supplied with model specific spacer) as a final step in the process
to inspect and adjust the gap to prevent costly replacement and extend the lifespan of the displays.
