Wall plate (AA) can be mounted to two studs that are 16" apart. Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the studs.
Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended. Based on their edges, draw a vertical line down each
stud's center. Place wall plate on wall as a template. The top mounting slots should be located above the desired
screen center as shown in figure 1.1. Note: Screen tilt will determine wall plate location. Level plate, and mark the
center of the two mounting holes. Make sure that the mounting holes are on the stud centerlines. Drill two 1/2" holes
through drywall and metal studs.
Refer to instruction sheet included with Peerless accessory kit ACC 215 for metal studs to install togglers.
Loosely fasten mount assembly (AA) to wall using two 1/4-20 x 2-1/2" screws as shown in figure 1.2.
Level, hold, and then tighten all screws.
