Extron electronic LPVM-1 installation instructions Overview, Optional Tools and Equipment

Low Profile VESA Mount Kit User Guide

Overview

The Extron® Low Profile VESA® Mount Kit (LPVM-1) allows monitors or Extron touch panels to be wall mounted to a two-gang UL‑certified junction box, a two-gang mud ring, or directly onto any solid surface, such as brick, wood, masonry, or drywall. The kit supports both the B-type (20 x 50 mm) and D-type (75 x 75 mm) VESA mounting patterns. The monitor attaches to the wall at a fixed angle with no tilting.

CAUTION: The maximum loads for the LPVM-1 are:

VESA B — 4.4 pounds (2 kg)

VESA D — 30.8 pounds (14 kg) if the LPVM-1 is mounted directly to the wall, not a mud ring.

The kit consists of two separate steel plates, held together by two locking screws. Plate 1, which attaches to the wall, has a protruding tongue at the top. The tongue fits into a groove at the top of plate 2, which attaches to the back of the display device (see the figure at right).

Installation Instructions

To VESA mount a touch panel or monitor using the LPVM-1, follow these instructions:

Disassembling the LPVM-1

1.Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two locking screws until the two plates of the LPVM-1 can separate.

2.Swing the bottom tabs of plate 1 away from the bottom edge of plate 2.

3.Pull plate 1 down to remove the tongue from the groove in plate 2.

4.Select a suitable mounting site and decide whether the LPVM-1 will be mounted directly to the wall (see below), or to a mud ring or UL-certified junction box (see the next page).

Mounting the LPVM-1 Directly to a Wall:

a.If the LPVM-1 is being mounted directly to drywall, you may cut a hole in the drywall that is 2.5 x 2.5 inches (6.35 x 6.35 cm) to run cables inside the wall cavity. If the LPVM-1 is attached to a solid wall

or you do not want to run cables through the drywall cavity, the	4b
cables should be enclosed in conduit or raceway.

b.Use plate 1 to mark the position of the four holes in the wall and drill four holes, using a drill bit that is appropriate for the wall type. Plate 1 accommodates screws up to 1/4 inch in diameter.

c.Secure plate 1 to the wall with four screws or bolts that are

appropriate for the wall type. Ensure the tongue is facing up.
