Peerless Industries SA730P-S, D-LA-100S manual

Installation to Solid Concrete and Cinder Block

WARNING

•When installing Peerless wall mounts on cinder block, verify that you have a minimum of 1-3/8" (35 mm) of actual concrete thickness in the hole to be used for the concrete anchors. Do not drill into mortar joints! Be sure to mount in a solid part of the block, generally 1" (25 mm) minimum from the side of the block. Cinder block must meet ASTM C-90 speciﬁcations. It is suggested that a standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the hole instead of a hammer drill to avoid breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity.

•Concrete must be 2000 psi density minimum. Lighter density concrete may not hold concrete anchor.

•Make sure that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached hard- ware and components.

Use a level to draw a vertical line on mounting

1 surface. Level and use wall plate as template to mark center of holes. The top mounting hole should be located 3.25" (83 mm) above the desired screen center as shown in ﬁgure 1.1 on page 4. Drill two 5/16" (8 mm) dia. holes to a minimum depth of 2.5" (64 mm). Insert anchors (B) in holes ﬂush with wall as shown right. Place wall arm (A) over anchors and secure with two #14 x 2.5" ﬂat head wood screws (C) using #3 phillips screwdrive bit (M) as shown in ﬁgures 1.3. Make sure wall arm is level, and tighten all fasteners.

Insert two fastener caps (I) into wall plate mounting holes.

WARNING

•Tighten screws so that wall plate is ﬁrmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage screws, greatly reducing their holding power.

•Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).

•Always attach concrete expansion anchors directly to load-bearing concrete.

•Never attach concrete expansion anchors to concrete covered with plaster, drywall, or other ﬁnishing material. If mounting to concrete surfaces covered with a ﬁnishing surface is unavoidable (not evaluated by UL), the ﬁnishing surface must be counterbored as shown below. Be sure concrete anchors do not pull away from concrete when tightening screws. If plaster/drywall is thicker than 5/8" (16 mm), custom fasteners must be supplied by installer (not evaluated by UL).
