MOUNTING

The PVM accommodates mounts that adhere to the VESA® 100 x 100 standard.
For mounting from a ceiling, Pelco recommends using the PMCL-CM mount. This mount can be swiveled 360 degrees, and lets you tilt the
monitor 35 degrees for the best viewing angle. This mount must be used with a pole to hang the monitor from a ceiling. The PMCL-CM can
support a maximum load of 90 lb (40.8 kg).
For more information and instructions on mounting, refer to the PMCL-CM Monitor Mount Installation manual (C2226M).
For a list of additional mounts, refer to Specificationson page 23.

WIRING

1. On the back of the monitor, loosen the thumb screws and lower the access panel.
2. Attach the leads from the power supply (not supplied) to the left and right connectors (refer to callout 1 in Figure 2 on page 8). For more
information about power supplies, refer to Recommended Power Supplies on page25.
3. Connect the camera output and any other devices using the connectors (refer to Figure2 on page 8). Devices that can be connected include
DVD players, time-lapse VCRs, and media cards.
4. When finished, secure the access panel.
TableA shows the recommended maximum wiring distances (transformer to load), and are calculated with a 10-percent voltage drop. (Ten percent
is generally the maximum allowable voltage drop for AC-powered devices.)
NOTE: For the 26-inch PVM, the maximum VA requirement is 160.8; the maximum current draw is 6.7 A. For the 20-inch PVM, the maximum VA
requirement is 96; the maximum current draw is 4.0 A.
WARNING: Do not connect a ground to the center post.
