Use supplied spacers for recessed mounting holes on the display.
This document provides an easy setup guide for the AVTEQ UM-1, a universal wall mount designed to securely hold a display. The primary function of this device is to mount a flat-panel display to a wall, offering a stable and adjustable solution for various environments. It is engineered to accommodate different wall types, including masonry and timber stud walls, ensuring broad compatibility and ease of installation.
The UM-1 wall mount system consists of several key components, including a main wall plate, left and right monitor brackets, and a comprehensive set of hardware for mounting. The wall plate is the central component that attaches directly to the wall, providing the foundational support for the display. Its design incorporates folded tabs that are crucial for proper orientation during installation, ensuring the display is mounted correctly and securely. The monitor brackets, which attach to the back of the display, are designed to hook onto these tabs on the wall plate, creating a robust connection.
One of the key usage features of the AVTEQ UM-1 is its adaptability to different wall constructions. For masonry walls, the installation process involves using specific concrete anchors and screws (M8 X 70 outside the hexagonal and M8 X 50 concrete anchors) to ensure a strong and lasting hold. It is imperative to use a spirit level during this step to guarantee the wall plate is perfectly horizontal, which is critical for the display to hang straight. The guide explicitly notes that the wall plate should be mounted with the folded tabs pointing upwards, a detail that is essential for the subsequent attachment of the monitor brackets.
For timber stud walls, the installation also requires careful alignment and the use of appropriate screws (M4X12, M4X30, M5X12, M5X30, M6X12, M6X35, M8X16, M8X40). Similar to masonry walls, maintaining a horizontal orientation with a spirit level is crucial. The instruction to ensure the folded tabs point upwards remains consistent across both wall types, highlighting its importance for the overall functionality and safety of the mount.
Attaching the display to the monitor brackets is another critical step. The guide specifies a range of screws (M4X12, M4X30, M5X12, M5X30, M6X12, M6X35, M8X16, M8X40, M10X50) to accommodate various display models. It is vital to select the correct screw size for the display's mounting holes. A significant usage feature here is the emphasis on ensuring that both monitor brackets are vertically aligned and that their direction is correct before tightening the mounting screws. This attention to detail prevents the display from being mounted crookedly or insecurely.
The UM-1 also addresses a common challenge with display mounting: recessed mounting holes. If a display has recessed holes on its back, the kit includes square spacers (M8 & M6) and round spacers (M8, M10) to pack these recesses. This ensures that the monitor brackets sit flush against the display, providing a stable and secure attachment point without putting undue stress on the display's casing. This feature enhances the versatility of the mount, allowing it to be used with a wider range of display designs.
Once the monitor brackets are securely attached to the display, the next step involves attaching the display to the wall plate. This procedure is designed to be a two-person task, emphasizing safety and ease of handling. The display, with its attached brackets, is lifted and hooked onto the folded tabs of the wall plate. The design allows for the display to be adjusted freely once hooked, providing flexibility in final positioning. This adjustability is a key usage feature, enabling users to fine-tune the display's angle or height after initial installation.
A crucial maintenance feature, or rather a security feature, is the optional security mechanism. The guide illustrates how a security screw or lock can be installed to prevent unauthorized removal of the display from the wall plate. This is particularly useful in public or commercial settings where display security is a concern. The security option involves a mechanism that locks the monitor brackets to the wall plate, adding an extra layer of protection against theft or accidental dislodgment.
Throughout the installation process, the manual provides clear visual aids and concise instructions, making the setup straightforward even for individuals with limited technical experience. The emphasis on using a spirit level, ensuring correct orientation of components, and the two-person requirement for lifting the display all contribute to a safe and successful installation. The inclusion of various screw sizes and spacers demonstrates the product's commitment to universal compatibility and user convenience.
In summary, the AVTEQ UM-1 is a robust and versatile display wall mount designed for secure and flexible installation. Its key usage features include compatibility with different wall types, accommodation for recessed mounting holes, and adjustable positioning. The clear, step-by-step instructions and the inclusion of a security option further enhance its functionality and appeal, making it a reliable choice for mounting flat-panel displays in various settings.
