IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

A WARNING alerts you to the possibility of serious injury or death if you do not follow the instructions.

CAUTION:

A CAUTION alerts you to the possibility of damage or destruction of equipment if you do not follow the corresponding instructions.

WARNING:

Failure to read, thoroughly understand, and follow all instructions can result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment, or voiding of factory warranty! It is the installer’s responsibility to make sure all components are properly assembled and installed using the instructions provided.

WARNING:

Failure to provide adequate structural strength for this component can result in serious personal injury or damage to equipment! It is the installer’s responsibility to make sure the structure to which this component is attached can support five times the combined weight of all equipment.

Reinforce the structure as required before installing the component.

IMPORTANT ! :

The video wall system ships either with rails

(LVS1U) or without rails (LVSXU). If you’re installing a video wall of LVSXU mounts you will need to provide the strut channel for mounting to the wall. (See LET’S GET STARTED!

Measurements You’ll Need section for further information.)

IMPORTANT ! :

The LVS1U/LVSXU is designed to be mounted to:

• a bare 8" thick solid concrete wall. Fasteners must be placed a minimum of 16" (406mm) and a maximum of

24" (610mm) apart AND within 9" (230mm) of each end of the rail/strut channel.

• a 5/8" minimum thickness plywood-backed, steel stud wall covered with drywall having a maximum thickness of 5/8". Fasteners must be placed a maximum of 8"

(203mm) apart AND in last slots on each end of rail/ strut channel.

• a 2" x 4" wood stud wall covered with drywall having a maximum thickness of 5/8". Fasteners must be placed a minimum of 16" (406mm) and a maximum of 24"

(610mm) apart AND within 9" (230mm) of each end of the rail/strut channel.

--SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS--

WARNING:

Use this mounting system only for its intended use as described in these instructions. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.

WARNING:

Never operate this mounting system if it is damaged. Return the mounting system to a service center for examination and repair.

WARNING:

Do not use this product outdoors.

Installation Instructions

INSTALLING INTERFACE BRACKETS

1.

Place displays face down on a soft, non-abrasive surface.

CAUTION:

Using screws of improper diameter may damage your display! Proper screws will easily thread into display mounting holes.

2.

Select screw diameter by examining hardware (A-C and F-H)

(6mm or 8mm) and comparing with mounting holes on display. (See Figure 10)

3.

Select spacers:

• Spacers are NOT required if mounting holes are not recessed and interface brackets (X) can lay flat against display.

•

Spacers (E) ARE required if mounting holes are recessed, or if protrusions prevent interface brackets

(X) from laying flat.

LVS1U / LVSXU

5.

Make sure diamond on interface brackets is even with center of display. (See Figure 10)

6.

Use selected screws (A-C or F-H), washers (D, if using screws A, B or C) and spacers (E), if necessary, to connect interface brackets (X) to back of display. (See Figure 10)

ADDING DISPLAYS TO MOUNTS

1.

Raise display with attached interface brackets and hook top of brackets into top of mount. (See Figure 11)

2.

Slowly bring bottom of display in towards mount until it clicks into place.

3.

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for remaining mounts in that row.

(LVS1U shown

as example)

Interface bracket hooked over mount

CAUTION:

Using screws of improper length may damage your display! Proper screws will have adequate thread engagement without contacting bottom of display mounting holes.

4.

Select screw length: (See Figure 10)

• By hand, insert SHORTEST length screw of selected diameter (A or F) through 3/16" washer (D, if using screw A), bracket (X), selected spacer (E, if required), into display mounting hole. Do NOT thread screw into hole at this time.

• Proper screw length requires base of screw head to protrude above flat washer (if flat washer is used) a

distance equal to or greater than the screw diameter. If screw length is inadequate, select longer screw. Select

shortest screw which will protrude the required distance.

SERVICE

Extending and Retracting Mount

The mounts may be extended and retracted only in a service situation.

1.

To Extend Mount: Pull on the RapidDraw release cord designated for the specific mount.

2.

When the mount releases, carefully grasp bezel edges of display and pull out slowly, being careful to clear surrounding displays.

3.

To Retract Mount: Carefully push against display bezel edges, being careful to clear surrounding displays.

4.

Push display against mount until it clicks into place.

Installation Instructions

RapidDraw Display Release

The RapidDraw pull cord and display release allows easy service access to any specific display in the video wall.

Each mount ships with the pull cord installed. It is installed so that when pulled from below the mount or from the right of the mount it will release the display for service.

The following steps should be taken if an installation requires that the pull cord be accessible from the left of the display or

above the display:

1.

Unhook the pull cord from the mount. (See Figure 23)

2.

Reinstall the pull cord in the opposite hole on the mount.

(See Figure 23)

Interface Bracket Kickstands

The interface brackets are equipped with kickstands which must only be used in a service situation.

1.

Pull down on interface bracket release cords. (See Figure 22)

2.

Pull out bottom of display.

3.

Flip down the kickstands on both interface brackets, and prop against mount during service.

Mount ships with cord attached here
