Example Monitor Mounting Instructions

Following are example mounting instructions for a counterbalance mounting arm (example instructions use details from a Mount-It mounting arm)

a.  Locate appropriate hardware.

b.  Mount to desired fixture.

Unistrut Mounting:
• Insert the Strut Channel Nut between the strut channel and plate of the Spring Arm (#A). Using a 5mm hex key, secure the spring arm to the strut channel with flanged M6 screws. Tighten the screws until secure.

Concrete/Brick Mounting:
• Hold the Spring Arm (#A) to the desired location on the wall and mark the center of the mounting holes with a pencil.
• Use a 3/8” drill bit and drill on the marked locations to a depth of 2.4”. Clear any dust and debris from the holes and insert the Concrete Anchors (#W-B). Secure the Spring Arm (#A) to the wall using Lag Screw (#W-A) and Washer (#W-C). Tighten the screws until secure.

Wood Stud Mounting:
• Locate the stud with a stud finder and center the mount on the stud at the desired height. Mark the center of the mounting holes with a pencil.
• Use a 3/16” drill bit and drill on the marked locations to a depth of 2.2”. Secure the Spring Arm (#A) to the wall using Lag Screw(#W-A) and Washer (#W-C). Tighten the screws until secure.

c.  Attach the monitor.

• Select the appropriate size mounting bolt (#M-A, M-B) for your display’s mounting holes and verify the length of the VESA bolt is not too long. If you are unsure of the correct bolt size for your display refer to your TV user manual or contact the TV manufacturer for sizing information.
• After selecting the appropriate bolt install the top two bolts and washers (#M-C) to the monitor leaving a gap of approximately 0.11” (3mm). Hang the monitor onto the top of the VESA plate as shown.
• Install the lower two bolts and washers (#M-C) through the lower holes. Tighten all 4 bolts until secure; do not overtighten.

d. Adjust Gas Spring tension as necessary to suit the weight of the monitors.

Begin by pushing the arm down to the lowered position. Then use Hex Wrench C to adjust the nut, turning counterclockwise for heavier monitors to increase tension and clockwise for lighter monitors to decrease tension.
