DCS Flat Panel TV - Manual (Page 3)

This flat panel cantilever will hold larger LCD monitor 30 inches and over. It will also hold smaller
plasma monitors up to 32 inches.
First determine if your monitor is VESA standard compliant, refer to the monitor’s
users manual. VESA is a standard mounting hole pattern (see image 1). The LP-80
Flat Panel Cantilever can attach directly to both 75mm & 100mm VESA square hole
patterns. If your monitor is not VESA standard compliant, a mounting adapter bracket
will be needed between your monitor and the cantilever mount. Contact your dealer or
contact DCS Mount to find out if an adapter is available for your monitor. All plasma
will require an adapter bracket. You will need someone to help with this installation.
1. Determine your preferred mounting location keeping in mind good viewing angles and that this
mount MUST BE PROPERLY SECURED TO THE CENTER OF A STUD.
2. While holding the mount in place and being sure that the mount is plumb, mark the mounting
location (you can use the supplied lag bolts to poke marks into the mounting surface through the
center of each mounting hole on the wall mounting plate). When mounting to a wood stud, drill a
3-1/4 inch deep pilot hole with a 9/32”drill bit through each mark. Attach the cantilever mount to the
wall before attaching your monitor to the cantilever’s monitor mounting plate.
3. If your monitor has a table stand attached, you will need to remove the stand before attaching it to
the cantilever mount; refer to the monitor’s users manual for proper instruction to remove the stand.
In the hardware kit, there are 4 sets of screws with 4 screws per set supplied. Depending on your
monitor’s manufacture’s specifications, determine
the proper diameter & length of screws that you will
need. CAUTION: Damage to your monitor’s
internal components can occur if you use screws
that are too long. Attach your monitor to the
VESA plate using the proper screws, DO NOT over
tighten the screws that attaché to the monitor,
DAMAGE to the monitor may occur. If your
monitor needs an adapter bracket, use the supplied
1/4-20 screws to attaché the bracket, once it has
been mounted to your monitor, to the 100mm
pattern on the VESA plate.
4. If you attach any wires along the cantilever’s swing
arms (for example using P-CLIPS), be sure that the wires (or P-clips) are not pulled, pinched or
kinked between the swing arms when you move the cantilever mount around into different
positions.
