Installation
NOTE:
All Séura installation instructions indicate generalized nominal residential
wood framing construction and are not indicative of any particular building
code. It is the installers responsibility 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.
Step 1
Create rough opening in wall. See diagram below for exact wall opening
dimensions. The glass dimensions include the frame around the TV
Step 2
Install back box into rough opening. Using the provided four screws and
washers, mount the back box tight to the finished wall surface by screwing
through the screwmounting slots in the back box. Ensure the front of the box
is flush with the wall, and mounting tabs rest on the finished wall surface.
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. Feed power and other desired A/V and electrical cords
through the pass through port from inside the wall cavity prior to installing
the TV. While keeping cord ends outside the back box pass-through port, finish
the wall tight to the edges of the back box, removing any gap. Once complete,
the final wall surface should be flush with the front edge of the back box.
Step 3
Verify functionality. Place TV assembly face down on a clean, dry surface near
the installed back box. Make all necessary A/V and electrical connections and
ensure full functionality of the TV, remote and any other A/V connections.
Before applying adhesive, test-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.
Step 4
Apply sealant and install TV assembly. Generously apply 1/8″ bead of supplied
waterproof sealant to the outer lip of the glass face that surrounds the black
metal housing. Apply the sealant as close to the edge as possible. With the
sealant around the glass, insert the TV assembly into the back box mounting
that has been already installed. Ensure gravity lock mounts fully engage.
Slowly compress the adhesive until the back of the glass is tight against the
wall surface. Sealant should seep out the front on all edges to provide the
best seal. Verify that sealant is surrounding the entire perimeter of the
glass face. Immediately after TV assembly is installed and sealed, again
verify functionality of TV and remote. If operation has been compromised by
the installation, corrections can easily be made before the sealant has cured
NOTE: THE POWER SUPPLY MUST NOT BE MOUNTED INSIDE A WALL CAVITY.
Step 5
Remove excess sealant. Wipe drippping or excessive sealant. Allow waterproof
sealant 24 hours to cure at 72 degrees Fahrenheit before exposing to moisture,
or follow recommended time and temperature designated by sealant instructions.
Once fully cured, use a razor blade or utility knife to carefully remove
excess sealant.
Removing the Unit
If the unit needs to be removed from the wall, essentially reverse the
installation steps, starting with cutting the sealant. We recommend breaking
the seal by side-cutting the sealant with a thin and durable line (such as a
braided fishing line) and sawing back-and-forth between the glass face and
wall. Then remove the TV from the back box. Disconnect all wires from the TV.
Feed the power and other A/V electrical cords back through the pass-through
port on the back box. Unscrew the framing members holding the backbox in
place. Remove the back box from the wall opening.
Making Connections
Connecting Video
The television features one Component, one Composite, one VGA, one coaxial
Cable/Antenna input, and two HDMI inputs. We recommend using the HDMI inputs
for best video and sound quality.
Connecting Audio
Two passive loudspeakers can be connected to the speaker output socket with
speaker cables. Observe the polarity (+ and -) of the connections to avoid
phase errors (= incorrect stereo playback).
Note: This product is not equipped with builtin speakers.
Connecting a USB Media Source
Connect an external USB media source to the USB socket to display photos, play
music or install a software update. In order to have access to the USB port
after installation we recommend installing a USB extension cable.
Connecting a Home Automation System
With the RS-232 interface (9 pin d-subminiature connector female) you can
connect a serial cable for communication with a home automation system, PC,
etc. The baud rate is 115200.
Connecting IR Output (blue)
Using the IR (infrared) output terminals on the TV, you can operate components
of your audio video system that are not in the line of sight of the remote
control. The IR sensor on the TV will receive IR commands from a remote and
distribute them to the 3.5mm IR output terminals located on the TV. For most
devices, use an IR emitter with a 3.5mm mono plug. Attach the IR emitter side
to the IR receiver of the device to be controlled and attach the 3.5mm mono
plug to the TV’s IR output. Alternately, if the device being controlled has
3.5mm IR input, simply use a male-to-male 3.5mm mono plug to connect the TV
and device. IR output tip is signal and sleeve is ground.
Connecting IR Input (pink)
Using the IR (infrared) input terminal on the TV, you can control the TV using
IR commands sent from a keypad, IR receiver, or other AV control system.
Attach a 3.5mm mono plug into the TV’s IR input and use the discrete IR codes
provided at seura.com/download-center. IR input tip is signal and sleeve is
ground.
