Components of your interactive display
The following images identify the components of your interactive display.

Wall-mounting your interactive display
Use a team of trained, professional installers equipped with a lifting device to install your
interactive display.
W W A R N I N G
lImproper installation can result in personal injury or product damage.
lYour interactive display weighs 119 kg (262 lb.). Refer to local building regulations to
ensure that your installation area can support this weight.
C C A U T I O N
Do not allow the weight of your interactive display to rest on the colour select module or the
bottom bezel because they are not designed to support product weight. Attach other
components whilst your interactive display is either still in its packaging or suspended from a
lifting device to prevent the weight of your interactive display from damaging the colour select
module.
I I M P OR T A N T
Save all product packaging so that it is available if you need to transport your interactive
display. If your original packaging is not available, you can purchase new product packaging
from your authorised SMART reseller.
Important mounting considerations for trained installers
Consider the following when mounting your interactive display on a wall:
lPlan your workflow to include cabling because some cable attachment points might not be
accessible post-installation.
I I M P OR T A N T
Speakers must be attached and speaker wires connected to your interactive display
before it is wall-mounted.
lTo wall-mount this interactive display, you require a standard VESA®400 mm × 400 mm
mounting plate, not included.
I N S T A L L I N G Y O U R I N T E R A C T I V E D I S P L A Y
2

lAttach the M12 eyebolts and washers included to assist in mounting.
W W A R N I N G
oIn order to aid in mounting or carrying, a lifting device must be used in conjunction
with the M12 attachable eyebolts. Do not attempt to mount or carry the display
using your own strength because the display may fall and cause personal injury.
oUse VESA-approved mounting hardware. Remove the M12 eyebolts after
installation.
lInspect the installation location to ensure that it can support the weight of your interactive
display.
lUse M8 screws to fasten the wall bracket. The length of the screws must be 14-15 mm
plus the thickness of the bracket and the washer. If using screws longer than 14-15 mm,
ensure sufficient depth.
lRecommended fasten force is 1125-1375 N·cm
lRefer to the instructions included with the mounting equipment for more detailed
information.
Selecting the mounting location
Consider the following when you select a location for your interactive display:
lThe wall must be strong enough to support your interactive display and the mounting
accessories. Your interactive display weighs 119 kg (262lb.).
lDo not install your interactive display in a location where a door or gate can hit it.
lDo not install your interactive display in an area where it will be subjected to strong
vibrations or dust.
lDo not install your interactive display near where the main power supply enters the
building.
I N S T A L L I N G Y O U R I N T E R A C T I V E D I S P L A Y

lDo not install your interactive display where people can easily grab and hang onto it or the
mounting apparatus.
lEnsure adequate ventilation or provide air conditioning around your interactive display so
that heat can flow away from the unit and mounting apparatus.
lWhen mounting your interactive display in a recessed area, such as in a wall, leave at least
10 cm (4") of space between your interactive display and the recess walls to ensure proper
ventilation.
Choosing the mounting height for your interactive display
Consider the heights of your users when choosing the mounting height for your interactive
display.
