Need help?Do you have a question about the Premier Mounts ECM-D70T and is the answer not in the manual?
The ECM-D70T / ECM-D70T1.5 is an elliptical ceiling dual mount designed to securely hold two flat-panel displays, ranging from 37 to 50 inches in size. This versatile mounting solution offers a sophisticated blend of aesthetic appeal and robust functionality, making it suitable for a variety of indoor environments where dynamic display positioning is desired. Its primary function is to suspend two flat-panels from the ceiling, allowing for flexible viewing angles and efficient space utilization.
One of the key usage features of this mount is its dynamic viewing capability. It boasts a full 360-degree swivel, enabling users to rotate the displays to face any direction within a room. This is particularly useful in spaces with multiple viewing areas or where the audience's position may change. In addition to the swivel, the mount offers a 15-degree tilt function. This tilt adjustment facilitates strategic placement of the flat-panels, allowing for optimal viewing angles and reducing glare, which can be crucial in brightly lit environments or when displays are positioned at varying heights. The tilt mechanism is designed to be adjustable, with friction settings that can be tightened or loosened to achieve the desired level of resistance, ensuring the displays remain securely in their chosen position.
The design of the ECM-D70T / ECM-D70T1.5 emphasizes both form and function. Its elliptical signature design contributes to its aesthetic appeal, providing a clean and modern look that complements contemporary interiors. Beyond aesthetics, this design also enhances the mount's rigidity, ensuring stable and secure support for the flat-panels. A notable feature is its ultra-thin profile, which keeps the center of gravity close to the flat-panels. This design choice is critical for better balance and helps to reduce deflection, contributing to the overall stability and safety of the installation.
Installation flexibility is another significant aspect of this mount. The ECM-D70T model is compatible with a 2-inch NPT (National Pipe Taper) extension pipe, while the ECM-D70T1.5 model is designed for a 1-1/2-inch NPT extension pipe. This compatibility with standard NPT pipes allows for integration into existing ceiling structures or for custom installations with varying drop lengths. The installation process involves securely threading the mount's coupler onto the NPT pipe, with a minimum of four complete turns to ensure a firm connection. A Phillips set screw is then tightened to further secure the mount to the pipe, preventing any unwanted rotation or loosening.
The mount is designed to accommodate both portrait and landscape orientations for the flat-panels, offering versatility in how content is displayed. This adaptability makes it suitable for diverse applications, from digital signage to collaborative workspaces.
Cable management is an integrated and thoughtful feature of the ECM-D70T / ECM-D70T1.5. The mount incorporates cable access holes that allow for discreet routing of power and A/V cables. This helps to keep the installation clean, organized, and uncluttered, enhancing the overall professional appearance of the display setup. Cables can be routed through the mounting bracket arms, into the coupler, and then up through the NPT pipe into the ceiling, connecting to a pre-determined source. This internal cable routing minimizes visible wires, contributing to a sleek and tidy installation.
To further enhance the aesthetic integration, the mount includes decorative covers. These covers are designed to conceal the mounting hardware, providing a clean and stylish presentation without visible screws or attachment points. The covers are easily attached over the mounting bracket arms and secured with small Phillips screws, ensuring a polished finish.
The mounting hardware provided with the ECM-D70T / ECM-D70T1.5 is comprehensive and designed to be adaptable to various flat-panel specifications. It includes a range of Phillips head screws (M4, M5, M6, M8 in various lengths) to match the threaded inserts on different flat-panel models. A crucial component of the mounting hardware is the Griplate™ Washers. These washers are engineered to accommodate different hole sizes (M4, M5, M6, M8) on flat-panels. For proper installation, the dimples on the Griplate™ Washers must face the flat-panel for the lower mounting points and away from the flat-panel for the upper mounting points. This specific orientation is vital for ensuring a secure and stable connection without causing damage to the flat-panel.
In cases where flat-panels have recessed or uneven mount points, or a curved back, Premier Mounts provides nylon spacers. These spacers are designed to create a necessary distance between the mounting bracket and the flat-panel, ensuring a flush and secure attachment. The nylon spacers are compatible with M4, M5, M6, and M8 screw sizes, offering flexibility for various flat-panel designs. The use of these spacers is critical to prevent excessive pressure on the back of the flat-panel, which could lead to damage.
Maintenance features are primarily focused on ensuring the longevity and safe operation of the mount. Regular checks of all connections are recommended to ensure they remain secure and tight. This includes verifying that the mount is firmly threaded onto the NPT pipe and that the Phillips set screw is tightened. Similarly, the screws securing the mounting bracket arms to the flat-panels should be checked periodically, with a reminder not to over-tighten them during installation to prevent damage. The design of the mount, with its robust construction and high-quality materials, is intended to minimize the need for frequent maintenance, focusing instead on a durable and reliable installation.
The mount also supports optional mounting configurations and accessories, such as adapters for mini PCs and digital media players (e.g., ECM-ENS for Enseo HD2000, ECM-MPC for Media Players, ECM-MAC2 for Mac mini™). These accessories expand the functionality of the display setup, allowing for integrated media solutions directly with the mount. Additionally, adjustable height adapters (AST-2446 and APP-2446) are available for further customization of the display height, providing even greater flexibility in installation.
In summary, the ECM-D70T / ECM-D70T1.5 is a meticulously designed elliptical ceiling dual mount that prioritizes flexibility, aesthetics, and structural integrity. Its ability to accommodate two large flat-panels with extensive swivel and tilt capabilities, coupled with integrated cable management and adaptable mounting hardware, makes it a sophisticated solution for creating impactful and versatile display installations in various indoor settings. The emphasis on secure connections and the provision of specialized components like Griplate™ Washers and nylon spacers underscore its commitment to safe and reliable performance.
