Installation
Step 1. Pre-Drill Wall for Mounting
A. XL Model only:IftheverticalVESA
pattern dimension on the display
is greater than 400 mm (Figure 1,
Dimension A), attach the extension
brackets to the tops of the display
brackets using the 8 included
screws (U) so the brackets will reach
between the VESA mounting holes
on the display.
B. Determinethediameterofthescrew
(parts C through P) your display
requiresbycarefullytryingtohand-
thread one screw into the threaded
insert on the rear of the display.
Ifthereisanyresistance,stop
immediately.
C. Spacers are commonly needed
on displays with curved backs or
recessed screw inserts. The screw
will thread through the appropriate
washer (Q or R), the display
brackets, any spacer needed (S or
T), and then into the display.
D. Mount the brackets so that they are as close to centered (vertically) on
the back of the display as possible. The pull rings and catch hooks face
inwardwhenmounted(Figure1).Thebracketsarelabeled“L”and“R”for
reference.
E. Ensure the brackets are installed with the flat side to the display and are
squaretoeachotherafterallscrewshavebeeninstalled(Figure1).
F. Adjust the height of the bracket release string to be above the bottom of
the display (Figure 2). Slide the clip up to lengthen and down to shorten
the release string.

Step 2. Determine the Mounting Height of the Display
A. Attach the wall plate to the brackets on the display. Measure and record the
distance between the top of the display and the top edge of the wall plate
(Figure 3, Dimension A).
B. Markthewallwhereyouwantthetopofthedisplaytositwhenhung.
C. Subtract Dimension A from the desired mounting height on the wall to find the
correct mounting height for the top of the wall plate.
Depending on the layout of the VESA mounting holes on the display, the distance
between the wall plate and the top of the display will vary. Figure 3 illustrates the
distance that must be accounted for when deciding the final viewing height.

intothecenterofthestudsatleast2-1/2”deep.Theuseofastudfinderis
highly recommended.

 • Toavoidbreakingoutthebackoftheholewhenenteringavoidorcavity,itis
suggested that a standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the hole
instead of a hammer drill.
 • Concretemustbe2000psidensityminimum.Lighterdensityconcretemay

Wire Management Kickstands
Display Leveling Adjustment
TheSM-RAZOR-Tmountsareequippedwithakickstandthatprovidesspacebetween
the display and the wall for connecting or disconnecting cabling
After mounting, the display may not be
hanging perfectly level. The set screw
at the top of each mounting hook allows
either side to be adjusted using a Phillips
screwdriver (Figure 11).
Place a level on one side of the display
as the adjustment is made. Turn the
screw clockwise to raise a side, or
counterclockwise to lower a side, until the
display is level.
Warning: Turning the leveling adjustment screws
too far clockwise to raise the display height could
lock the display brackets to the wall plate. This
could cause damage to the display or the mount
when trying to disconnect the display brackets from
the wall plate.
Note: These kickstands are provided for servicing only, it is recommended that they are
collapsed and the brackets are locked during normal placement.
A. Pull down on the rings at the
bottom of the brackets to release
them from the wall bracket.
B. Pullthekickstandsoutoneach
bracket so that they rest on the
wall. (Figure 10)
C. When finished, collapse the
kickstands to allow the brackets
to lock onto the wall bracket.
D. Let the release strings slide
back up, and check to see that
the catches engage by gently
pulling the bottom of the display.

Display Tilt Adjustment
The SM-RAZOR-T mounts offer up to
15° of downward tilt. The mount is flat
(0°) when pushed to the wall. Once
the display is moved out, it tilts to 5°
and then can be adjusted from 5-15°.
To adjust the viewing angle of the
display, carefully push or pull the top
of the display toward or away from the
wall (Figure 13). The mount will snap
into place when pushed flat to the wall.
Ifthedisplaycannotbeadjustedwith
ease, loosen the tilt set screws until
the proper feel is achieved using a
Phillips screwdriver (Figure 12).
Ifthedisplaysagsafterbeingset,tightenthetiltsetscrewsuntilnosaggingoccurs.
The total adjustment needed should be minimal, no more than ¼ turn tighter or looser
than the default setting.
Warning: Do NOT over-loosen or remove the tilt adjustment friction screws. Doing so may cause
permanent damage to the mount or display.
