TMP-X / PREMIUM TILTING
WALL MOUNT
for Extra Large Flat-Panel Displays
User Manual

Thank you for choosing Gabor.
The Gabor TMP-X Premium Tilting Wall Mount offers improved tilt range and greater access to ports and connections for extra-large flat panel displays measuring 42 to 90 inches and weighing up to 154 pounds. Independent mounting arms allow each side of your display to extend 2.95 to 5.3 inches, so you can easily reach behind the display for maintenance and cable access.  This extension increases the maximum tilt range to +5° to -12°, giving you a larger viewing angle than a traditional tilting wall mount. The open wall plate design provides space for placing wall ports directly behind your TV or monitor and allowing you to keep your cables short and hidden.

If you have safety concerns about installing this product, contact a qualified professional or installation contractor. If this product is missing hardware or there are defective parts, visit www.madebygabor.com or call Customer Service at 212-594-2353.

Overview

Display/TV Placement

Before installing the Gabor Premium Tilting Wall Mount, you will need to determine the placement of your display and identify
surrounding support structures for attachment.
The best height for a display is at the viewer’s eye level. You can find this height in one of two ways.

1. Measure the distance from the seating area to the viewing area. The ideal position is when the center of the display (where the diagonals meet) is as close as possible to eye level.
   OR

2.  Cut a piece of sturdy cardboard that’s approximately the same size as your display. Use the cardboard to find a comfortable height, and mark the mounting location with a pencil.

Attaching the Display/TV Brackets

Selecting the Right VESA Mounting Hardware for Your Display A variety of screws are included to fit VESA standards on the backs of most displays. Select the M5, M6, or M8 screws and washers that best fit your display. Hand-thread the screws to determine the correct diameter.

Warning! The display brackets contain potential pinch points. Keep your fingers away from the pinch points when expanding and retracting the brackets and your display.

Attaching the Wall Bracket to Wooden Studs

Caution! Wooden studs run vertically inside the wall. The wall bracket must be mounted to wooden studs at least 1.5 inches wide and spaced 16 inches apart, or the bracket could fall out and damage your display or cause personal harm.

1.  Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the wooden stud, and mark the center.
   

2. Place the wall plate template up to the marked locations. Use the provided bubble level to make sure the template will be  level before drilling, and tape it to the wall. Use a pencil to mark drilling holes for the four anchor screws.
   

3. Use a 3/16-inch (4.5 mm) wood drill bit to predrill the marked spots 2.2 inches (55 mm) deep, and then clean out the debris from the holes. Remove the template.
   

4. Attach the plate to the wall by inserting the four anchor screws through the washers and the wall plate’s mounting holes, and screw them into the predrilled support holes until secure. Use a Philips screwdriver to further tighten the anchor screws, but  do not overtighten.
   

Attaching the Wall Bracket to a Concrete Wall or Concrete Blocks

Caution! Make sure the concrete wall or block is solid and at least 8 inches thick. Install the wall plate at least 16 inches between anchors. If the concrete exhibits cracks or other defects, this may result in failure of the concrete anchors and cause serious personal injury or damage to your display.

Warning! Do not drill into the mortar between concrete blocks. The display brackets must remain centered on the wall plate.

1. Place the wall plate template up to the marked location. Use the provided bubble level to make sure the template will be level before drilling, and tape it to the wall. Use a pencil to mark drilling holes for the six anchor screws.
   

2. Use a 3/8-inch (10 mm) concrete drill bit to predrill the marked spots 2.4 inches (60 mm) deep, and then clean out the debris from the holes.
   

3. Remove the template and insert the concrete anchors into the predrilled holes, using a hammer to tap the anchors into the  concrete.
   

4. Attach the wall plate to the wall by inserting the anchor screws through the washers and the wall plate’s mounting holes and screw them into the anchors until secure. Use a Philips screwdriver to further tighten the screws, but do not overtighten.
   

Attaching the Wall Bracket to Metal Studs

Caution! Metal studs run vertically inside the wall, 16 inches apart, behind the drywall or plaster. The wall bracket must be mounted to a metal stud at least 2 inches wide, or the bracket could fall out and damage your display or cause personal harm.

1. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the metal stud, and mark the center.
   

2. Place the wall plate template up to the marked locations, and tape it to the wall. Use the provided bubble level to make sure  the plate will be level before drilling. Use a pencil to mark drilling holes for the four anchor screws.

3. Use a 1/2-inch (13 mm) metal drill bit to predrill the marked spots 1 inch (25 mm) deep, and then clean out the debris from
   the holes. Remove the template.
   

4. Insert the SNAP Toggle anchors into the predrilled holes a Pull to flip the anchor inside the wall b Hold the end of the anchor  and slide the cap against the drywall b Snap off the ends to lock the anchor in place d
   
   

5. Attach the plate to the wall by inserting the four anchor screws through the washers and the wall plate’s mounting holes, and screw them into the installed toggles until secure. Use a Philips screwdriver to further tighten the anchor screws, but do not overtighten.

Mounting the Display on the Wall Plate

Important! We recommend that two people perform this step.

1. Pull down the display bracket’s release tab until it stops.
2. Lift your display up to the wall plate, and hang the display from the top hooks of the brackets.
3. Pull down on the release tabs as you gently press the bottom of the display bracket against the wall plate until you hear it click, securing the display.
4. Push the release tab upward for storage.

Post-installation Adjustment

Once your display is mounted on the wall mount, you can independently expand each side of your display’s depth and fine-tune the horizontal level and tilt angle.

Display Depth
You can collapse or extend the mount independently on each side so your display is 2.95 to 5.3 inches from the wall.

Warning! The display brackets contain potential pinch points. Keep your fingers away from the pinch points when expanding and retracting the brackets and your display.

Horizontal Level
Use the included hex key to turn the adjustment screws located at the top of each display bracket. Increase the display height up  to 1 inch and offset the horizontal level up to 5 degrees.

Tilt Angle
Use the tilt-tension knobs on both brackets to adjust the tension for the tilting mechanisms. Tilt the display to the ideal viewing angle from +5° to -12°, and tighten the tilt-tension knobs until secure.

Lateral Position
Warning! This is for wood and metal stud installations only. For concrete installations, the display brackets must remain centered on the wall plate. Slide your display left or right along with the wall plate.

Locking the Mount

For extra protection against display theft, use a padlock (not included). This provides added security and is ideal when using the mount in public spaces. Insert a lock through the display bracket’s eyelet. Repeat on the other bracket.

Removing the Display from the Wall Bracket

Important! We recommend that two people perform this step. Pull down on each bracket’s release tab and gently swing the display outward, away from the wall.
