5. Installation
Step 1. Install the Display Adapter Plate
Step 2. Determine the Correct Mounting Height
A. Carefullylaythedisplayface-downonasoftsurface.
B. Locate the four mounting holes in the back of the
displayhousing.Trytothreadscrews(AthroughN)in
until the correct thread is found for the holes.
C. Lay the adapter plate over the holes in the display
(directionalarrowfacingup),andchecktheclearance
betweentheTVandtheplate.Makesurethemounting
holes match up properly to four of the holes in the
adapter plate. The adapter plate should be centered
on the back of the display.  See the available VESA
patterns in Figure 1.
D. If the plate won’t sit at against the back of the
television,spacers(GandP)andwashers(HandQ)
may be placed between the display and the plate as
needed.
E. Fasten the plate to the display using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver. Use screws long enough to thread
securely into the display without bottoming out.
A. Decidetheheightwherethetopedgeofthedisplayshould
beonceinstalled.(Height)
B. Measure and record the distance between the top of the
displayand thetopofthedisplay adapterplate (Figure3).
Makesuretomeasurefromtheatareaontopoftheplate,
notthecurvedarea.(DimensionA)
C. InsertDimensionAintotheformula:
D. MarktheWallPlateScrewheightatthecenterlineofthemountlocation.(Figure4)
(Height) – 1/4” – (A) = Wall Plate Screw Height
(Used in Step 3, next page)
Note:  The adapter plate (Figure 1) is designed for use
with these VESA patterns: 100x100, 100x200, 200x100,
and 200x200.
Warning: Over-tightening can damage the bolts or the
display and is not covered under warranty.  Make sure
the fasteners are tight enough not to rattle loose while the
mount is in use.
Important! If the optional Dual Stud Mounting Bracket (SM-RAZOR-ART1-BKT-20) is being used to hang the mount
on the wall, refer to the SM-RAZOR-ART1-BKT-20 manual (included with the bracket) to complete Step 2.

Step 3. Install the Mounting Bracket on the Wall
A. For Mounting on a Stud Wall
1. Locateastudtomountthebracketon.Markthecenterline
of the stud on the wall.  The use of a stud nder is highly
recommended.
2. Usingalevelforguidance,holdthebracketonthewalland
mark the mounting holes that will be used. The holes will be
centeredontheheightmarkfromStep2.Besurethatthe
arrows on the bracket face up toward the ceiling.
3. Pre-drilltheholestoadepthof31/2”usinga1/4”drillbit.Be
sure to drill into the center of the stud.
4. Insert the lag screws (R) through the washers (S) and the
wallplate,andthreadthemintotheholesinthewall.Tighten
theboltssothebracketisrmlyattachedtothewall.
Warning:Over-tighteningcandamagethebolts,greatlyreducing
theirholdingstrength.Donotover-tighten!

B. For Mounting on a Concrete Wall
Important! If the optional Dual Stud Mounting Bracket SM-RAZOR-ART1-BKT-20 is being used to hang the
mount on the wall, refer to the SM-RAZOR-ART1-BKT-20 manual (included with the bracket) to complete
Step 3.
Warning! For Concrete or Cinder Block Mounting:
Cinder block must meet ASTM C-90 specications.
Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter
density concrete may not hold concrete anchor. Verify
that there is a minimum of 1-3/8” of concrete thickness
to be used for the included concrete wall 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.
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.
Make sure that the supporting surface will safely
support the combined load of the equipment and all
attached hardware and components.
1. Usingalevelforguidance,holdthebracketonthewalland
mark the mounting holes that will be used. The holes will be
centeredonthe heightmarkfrom Step2.Be surethatthe
arrows on the bracket face up toward the ceiling.
2. Pre-drill the holes using a 5/16” masonry drill bit to a depth of
31/2”.Inserttheconcretewallanchors(U)andtapthemin
with a hammer if necessary.
3. Insert the lag screws (R) through the washers (S) and the
wallplate,andthreadthemintothewallanchors(U).Tighten
theboltssothebracketisrmlyattachedtothewall.
Warning:Overtighteningcandamagethebolts,greatlyreducing
theirholdingstrength.Donotover-tighten!

Step 4. Attach the Arm Assembly to the Wall Plate
Step 5. Attaching the Display to the Arm Assembly
A. Loosenthetwoupperclampingscrewsonthearmassembly.
B. Alignthearmassemblywiththetopandbottomrailofthewallplate.
C. Slidethearmassemblyintopositionwhileloweringandpushingittowardthewall.Loosentheupperclamping
bolts more if the assembly will not clip onto the rail.
D. Tightentheupperandlowerclampingboltsusingthesmall4mmAllenwrench(T1).
E. IftheSM-RAZOR-ART1-BKT-20isbeingused,thewallbracketendcoverscannowbeinstalled.
1. Liftthedisplayandplaceitontheendofthearmassemblyas
shown in Figure 10.
2. SecurethedisplayusingthetwoNylonwashers(X),twometal
washers (V), and lock nuts (W).  Be sure to place the Nylon
washer between the mount and the metal washer. This will allow
for easier tilt adjustments later.

6. Adjusting Display Position
6.1. Horizontal Level Adjustments
6.2. Vertical Position Adjustments
1. Loosenthetwolockingnuts(W)atthebottomofthearmassemblyendplateusingthe8mmsocketwrench(T3).
(Figure11)
2. Placealevelontopofthedisplay,androtatethedisplayuntilitishorizontallylevel.(Figure12)
3. Tightenthelockingnutsatthebottomofthearmassemblyendplateandthenloosenthem¼turn.Thiswillallow
for the display to be positioned with minimal effort.
4. Afteradjustmentiscomplete,tightenthenuts.
Theverticalpositionofthedisplaycanbeadjusted+/-3/8”fromthepre-adjustedcenteredposition.Thisisachieved
bytightening(up)orloosening(down)theverticaladjustmentscrewlocatedonthearmplate.
1. Extendthearmtoaccesstheverticalpositionadjustment.
2. Loosenthefourlock-nutsontherearofthearmplateusingthe8mmsocketwrench(T3).(Figure13)

6.3. Adjusting Home Position (Fully Retracted)
6.4. Tilt Adjustments
The mount includes a home position latch that
secures the arm to the wall mount. This prevents
the display from being pushed away from the wall
due to cabling.
Note: Only the TV Plate side of the latch is pre-
installed. The home position latch clip requires
installation and adjustment.
Tilt adjustments usually do not require loosening
any bolts or screws. The tilt plate fasteners have
been pre-adjusted for easy adjustment with most
TVs.However, heavierTVs may sag due to the
extra weight.
Ifthisoccurs,evenlytightenthelocknutsoneach
side of the end plate using the small 4mmAllen
Wrench (T1) until the display no longer sags.
(Figure16)
1. Extendthearmoutawayfromthewall.
2. Attach the home position latch (Y) to the
wall arm assembly using the three screws
(Z) as shown in Figure 15. Use a #2 Phillips
screwdriver to adjust the screws.
3. Leavethescrewslooseenoughtobeableto
adjust the latch and set it at the top of its travel.
4. Pushthedisplaybacktothewall.
5. Ifno“click”isheardasthearmispushedat,
adjust the latch downward and test again.
6. Repeatthesestepsuntila“click”isheardandthedisplaylatchescompletelytothewallmount.
7. Afterthelatchissetcorrectly,tightenthescrewscompletely.
