Installation to Single Wood Stud Wall
Use a stud fi nder to locate the edges of the stud. Use of an edge-to-edge stud fi nder is highly recommended.
Based on its edges, draw a vertical line down the stud’s center. Place wall plate (B) on wall as a template, making
sure that the three mounting holes are over the stud centerline. The top mounting hole should be 2.5" above the
desired screen center as shown in fi gure 1.1. Level plate, and mark the center of the three holes. Drill three 5/32"
(4 mm) dia. holes 2-1/2" (64 mm) deep. Make sure that the wall plate is level, secure it using three #14 x 2.5" wood
screws (C) as shown in fi gure 1.2.

• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all
attached hardware and components.
• Tighten wood screws so that wall plate is fi rmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the
screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).
• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the stud. The use of an "edge to edge" stud fi nder
is highly recommended.
• Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs.
Installers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations.
