Warning and caution in general
A secured structure wooden stud wall must always support the weight or load of the plasma. Always confirm the center of the wood
stud before beginning the installation.
Do not install in locations where there is vibration, movement or danger of impact. Failure to do so could result in plasma cracking or
falling from the wall causing damage and injury.
Do not install near heater, fireplace, direct sunlight or air conditioning or any other source of direct heat energy. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the plasma television and could cause a risk of fire.
At least two qualified people should always perform the installation work. Injury and damage can result from dropping or mishandling
the plasma television.
Mounting structure recommended wood studs, solid-flat concrete, and reinforced metal studs. If installing the mount on other than
wood studs use (commercially available) suitable hardware.

UNIVERSAL FLAT MOUNT
UNIVERSAL TILT MOUNT
PSM SERIES MOUNT
Our PSM flat / tilt mounts are designed for wall or ceiling mounting, or it can mate with any of our popular carts, floor stands or wall arms.
The ultra slim plasma mount stands off the wall just enough for proper, OEM-specified ventilation, yet keeps the plasma close enough for a
clean, seamless look. It allows either vertical (portrait) or horizontal (landscape) display configuration.

Step 1
CAUTION: The plasma displays are fragile and heavy. At least two (2) qualified personnel are strongly recommended for the installation of this product.
Invert the plasma display and set it on a soft, flat surface to prevent any damage to the plasma display. See fig 1.
WARNING : Proper installation procedure by qualified personnel as outlined in the installation instructions must be adhered to. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury and possible damage to the plasma display.

Step 2
CAUTION: The plasma displays are fragile and heavy. At least two (2) qualified personnel are strongly recommended for the installation of this product.
Locate the mounting points found on the back of the plasma chassis, align the mounting holes from the mounting bracket to the holes on the chassis. Arrow found
on the PSM mount must always be pointing to the top of the plasma display before securing it to the chassis. Secure the mounting bracket to the plasma display by
using the hardware specified on the parts list. CAUTION: Do not over tighten the mounting hardware. See fig 2.
WARNING: Do not use the drill gun to secure the screws to the plasma display. A Phillips head screwdriver is preferred.

Step 3
Securing the flat mount
CAUTION: The plasma displays are fragile and heavy. At least two (2) qualified personnel are strongly recommended for the installation of this product.
All plasma models vary depending on the manufacturer and some are centered and others are not. Please verify that your plasma mounting points from the back of the chassis are
centered before installing the universal back plate.
Select the area where the plasma will be installed and make sure it can support the weight standards (see warning on page 3). Locate the 16" wood stud centers behind the wall using
a (commercially available) stud finder and mark the center of the studs when found. Set the mounting bracket to the wall and mark the desired height by marking the center of the
universal flat mount.
Note: Same installation process applies to the PSM-Tilt series. See fig 3.

Step 4
All electrical wiring components should be installed at this time to ensure that the plasma display has enough power sources.
Securing the flat mount or tilt mount
To determine the desired viewing height, use the center slot opening in the wall mount as a center reference for the plasma television when mounted. Once the height is determined,
use the bubble level to insure that the bracket is level. Next, using a pencil, mark the four (4) lag bolt slot openings on the mounting bracket. Before continuing, confirm the marks are
located on the center of the studs.
Drill 1/4" pilot holes on the four (4) markings on the wall. Raise the universal flat or universal tilt bracket and have someone hold it in place (arrow side away from the wall and
pointing up). Put the lag bolt through the flat washers. Screw the lag bolt through the upper left slot opening into the 1/4" pilot hole. Confirm that the wall mount is still leveled and then
screw a lag bolt to the upper right side slot opening into the 1/4" pilot hole. Then install the remaining two lag bolts tightly into the wall studs in the lower left and right slot openings on
the wall mount.

Caution: All four (4) receiving tab openings from the
mounting bracket must be locked to the tabs found on
the flat back plate before letting go of the plasma
display. See the diagram on the left to see the
interlocked tab.
Caution: The plasma display is heavy and 2 people are needed to lift and
install it. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
Additional security (Does not apply to flat wall mounting)
Step 6
For additional security gradually tilt the bracket forward using a Phillips screwdriver. Secure the two (2) M6 x 12 (mm) Phillips screws (screws) see fig 6. Do not over tighten the screws.
Position the bracket to the desired angle.
Step 5
Warning: The plasma display is heavy and 2 people are needed to lift and install it. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
Before placing the plasma on the wall recheck all hardware for proper tightness and security. Before installing, become familiar with the way the plasma mount attaches to the wall
mount. Align the four (4) tab openings to the four (4) receiving tabs on the flat back plate. When all four (4) the tabs are aligned slide the plasma down, right and down again to lock the
mounts together. Make sure all (4) tab openings are interlocked with the receiving tabs before letting go of the plasma. See fig 5.
