STRONG SM-ART2-M Single Arm Articulating Mount

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Specifications:

Color: Black
Maximum weight capacity: 80 lbs (36.4 kg)

Installation Instructions

Step 1: Use Wall Plate to mark mounting hole locations
The use of a stud finder is highly recommended.

Step 2: Mount the Wall Arm Assembly

For mounting on a stud wall (Fig 1):
1. Pre-drill five holes into the stud using a 1/4 (6mm) drill bit.
  Be sure to drill into the center of the studs.

2. Insert five lag bolts with lag washers into holes through the

Wall Plate and tighten down. Be sure the Wall Arm Assembly is
mounted with the arrows pointing upwards.
Caution: Tighten bolts so that the Wall Plate is firmly attached, but do not over tighten. Over tightening can damage the screws, greatly reducing their holding strength.

For mounting on a concrete wall (Fig 2):
1. Pre-drill five holes into concrete using 3/8 (10mm) drill bits. Insert Concrete Wall Anchors and tap in with hammer, if necessary.
  Caution: When installing Wall Arm Assembly on cinder block, verify first that you have a minimum of 1-3/8 of concrete thickness to be used for the Concrete Wall Anchors. Do not drill into mortar joints! Be sure to mount in a solid part of the block, generally 1 minimum from the side of the block.
- The cinder block must meet ASTM C-90 specifications. It is suggested that a standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the hole instead of a hammer drill to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity.
- Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor.
- Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hardware and components.

2. Insert five lag bolts with lag washers into the Wall Anchors through the Wall Plate. Be sure the Wall Arm Assembly is mounted with the arrows pointing upwards.

Caution: Tighten screws so that wall plate is firmly attached, but do not over tighten. Over tightening can damage the screws, greatly reducing their holding strength.

Step 3: Attach the Adapter Plate to the display

Remove locking screw from Adapter Plate and detach it from the Wall Arm Assembly (Fig 3).
Attach the Adapter Plate to the display using M4, M5, M6, or M8 screws. For displays with a hole pattern in a pocket or inputs behind Adapter Plate, spacers go between Adapter Plate and display (Fig 4).
