Installation
NOTE:
All Séura drawing packages indicate generalized nominal residential wood
framing construction and are not indicative of any particular building code.
It is the responsibility of the installer that all electrical, audio/visual,
and framing construction are code compliant to the municipality in which the
product is being installed. Modifications made to Séura recommendations are at
the sole discretion of the installer and release Séura of all liability.
Inspect the desired location for installation and be aware of all electrical
wiring pathways, water pipes, gas lines, or other potentially hazardous
conditions that may exist to protect from accidental damage during creation of
on-site conditions.
Ensure all required electrical specifications are adhered to and have been
installed by the appropriate individuals and are code approved.
Ensure all framing requirements, if needed have been completed to building
code and pose no structural issues.
It is REQUIRED that this product is plugged into an electrical outlet
protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to protect against
electric shock, fire, and/or injury. Failure to do so will void any warranty
for this product. Only qualified individuals should attempt to service the
product. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other dangerous
conditions.
Read all installation instructions before beginning installation.
-
Step 1
Install back box to framing members using the provided four screws and washers through screw-mounting slots in back box. Ensure that the front of the box is flush with finished wall and mounting tabs will rest on finished wall surface. Feed power and other desired cords through pass-through port.
Note: Do not overtighten mounting hardware. Back box should fit snuggly between framing members. If the fit is poor, and overtightening occurs, the back box may deform, resulting in a poorly sealed installation. If the back box doesn’t fit well between framing members, shim the framing members for a square and stable fit. -
Step 2
While keeping cord ends outside the back box pass-through port, finish the wall tight to the edges of back box, removing any gap. Once complete, the final wall surface should be flush with the front edge of the back box as shown. -
Step 3
Install TV Assembly:- Place TV assembly face down on a clean, dry surface near the installed back box. Make all necessary connections and ensure LCD operation is successful.
- Before applying adhesive, “dry fit” the TV assembly in back box. Notice that the gravity lock mounts engage. Ensure functionality in installed position.
- Remove TV assembly from back box. Do not disconnect any wires. Clean any residue from glass and remove debris.
- D) Generously apply 1/8″ bead of supplied waterproof sealant to glass face as close to the edge as possible. Affix to wall surface, ensuring gravity lock mounts are fully engaged. Sealant should seep out the front on all edges to provide the best seal.
- I mmediately after TV assembly is installed and sealed, again verify the functionality of LCD and remote. If operation has been compromised by the installation, corrections can easily be made before the sealant has cured.
- Wipe dripping or excessive sealant.
NOTE: THE POWER SUPPLY MUST NOT BE MOUNTED INSIDE A WALL CAVITY.
-
Step 4
Allow waterproof sealant 24 hours to cure at 72 degrees Fahrenheit before exposing to moisture. (or recommended time designated by sealant instructions)
Once fully cured, use a razor blade or utility knife to carefully remove excess sealant.
