Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
The following instructions are applicable to:
•
•

Three 2x4 studs, 16" on center; other installations
are possible with increased framing complexity.
MWR/PWR (single swing arm) and PNR (double
swing arm) mounts.

OPEN WALL
1. Determine approximate mounting location, keeping in
mind the display size.
! IMPORTANT: Installation of housing (10) in 2x4 wall
results in nearly direct contact with vertical studs and
opposite (back) wall. Inadequate space will remain for
electrical wires/cables, plumbing, ductwork, or insulation.
Locate housing (10) accordingly.
2. Use a stud sensor to locate applicable wood studs.
Mark locations with a pencil.
3. Center and level housing (10) between marked studs.
Using housing (10) as a template, draw pencil line
completely around housing (10) (See Figure 2).

water, waste, or any other plumbing before cutting,
drilling, or installing mount fasteners.
4. Cut drywall on outside edge of line (to facilitate
installation of housing (10)) and remove.

FRAME HOUSING
The exposed portion of the center wood stud must be
removed and the resulting cavity completely framed with
wood. The following steps are suggested; the actual
procedure is dependent upon the specific installation.

WARNING: STRUCTURAL FAILURE HAZARD!
Ensure removal of center stud will not cause
unacceptable loss of structural strength. Consult a
qualified building contractor and applicable building
codes. Failure to take adequate precautions can
cause DEATH or SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY!
1. Remove exposed portion of center wood stud flush
with upper and lower drywall edges (See Figure 3).
NOTE: Stud may be attached to the opposite (back) wall.

NOTE: A 1/4" gap between sides of housing (10) and
adjacent studs is typical.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! Cutting
or drilling into electrical wires and cables can cause
DEATH or SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY! ALWAYS
make certain area behind mounting surfaces is free of
electrical wires and cables before cutting, drilling, or
installing mount fasteners.

WARNING: EXPLOSION AND FIRE HAZARD!
Cutting or drilling into gas plumbing can cause DEATH
or SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY! ALWAYS make
certain area behind mounting surfaces is free of gas,

2. Cut 4 support blocks out of 2x4 wood, each
approximately 8" long.
3. Attach each support block to the corresponding stud
with three #10 x 2-1/2" countersunk wood screws.
Ensure that screws are far enough from end of block
to prevent interference with framing screws installed
in next step (See Figure 3).
NOTE: Use of wood screws (not included) instead of nails
is less likely to cause damage to surrounding
drywall or paint.
4. If necessary, cut rectangular hole in horizontal
framing to accomodate electrical box. Do NOT
eliminate bolts (100) to accomodate electrical
installation. All 12 bolts (100) must be used to secure
housing (10) to wall structure.

Installation Instructions

Model: PAC-500

5. Attach horizontal framing to each support block with
two #10 x 2-1/2" countersunk wood screws (See
Figure 3).

INSTALL HOUSING

NOTE: See instructions that came with MWR/PWR/PNR
mount for specific display removal procedures.
1. Disconnect all cables from display.

WARNING: ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND FIRE
HAZARD! Consult a qualified electrical contractor and
applicable electrical codes. Failure to take adequate
precautions can cause DEATH or SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY!
1. If applicable:
• Attach electrical box to housing (10) and connect
electrical wiring.
NOTE: The cutout in housing is sized to accommodate a
standard RACO Single Gang junction box.
•

TRANSFER MWR/PWR/PNR MOUNT ASSEMBLY

Route audio/visual cables through grommet (not
supplied) into housing (10).

NOTE: Housing (10) can be rotated 180° to position
electrical and audio/visual cutouts.
2. Center housing (10) in framed cavity. Ensure housing
(10) protrudes 3/8" - 1/2" beyond front face of wood
stud (for 1/2" drywall; adjust as required for other wall
construction) (See Figure 4).

NOTE: Cables can remain installed in mount arm
channel(s).
2. Remove PAC-140 Q-Clamp (if installed) and open
latching flag.

WARNING: Display is very heavy! Ensure display can
be safely lifted and maneuvered as required to remove
from mount. Failure to take adequate precautions can
result in serious personal injury or damage to
equipment!
3. Lift and maneuver display mounting buttons out of
button openings. Place display on protective surface.
4. Using 9/16" wrench, remove and discard four bolts
and washers attaching top and bottom brackets to
mount assembly (See Figure 5). Place mount
assembly on protective surface.

Figure 4: Install Housing

CAUTION: Housing (10) must either be in direct
contact with studs/horizontal framing, or shims must be
installed. Failure to do so will result in deformation of
housing (10) when bolts (100) are tightened.
3. Cut and overlap shims (200) as required to
completely fill space between fastener holes in
housing (10) and studs/horizontal framing
(See Figure 4).

NOTE: PNR mount faceplace removed for clarity;
MWR/PWR mount similar.

5. Using key (170), attach upper bracket (20) to housing
(10) with screws (70), washers (120), and washers
(110) (See Figure 6). Do not tighten screws (70) at
this time.
NOTE: Bracket (20) is shown centered for PNR
installation. Bracket (20) is offset to the right for
MWR/PWR installation.

4. Using key (180) or bit (190) install all 12 bolts (100)
through housing (10) (and shims (200), if required)
into studs/horizontal framing (See Figure 4). Tighten
securely.
