INSTALLATION
WARNING:
Improper installation can result in serious
personal injury!
WARNING:
It is the responsibility of the installer to
verify that the wall to which the PDR is anchored will
safely support five times the combined load of all
attached components and equipment. If not, reinforce
the structure before installing the PDR.
1.
Locate two wood studs 16” apart on center
2.
Determine the exact mounting location prior to
installation, considering screen size and the unit’s
total swing arm radius. Keep in mind that the PDR
must be mounted to wood studs that are 16” apart on
center.
NOTE:
Mount the PDR between parallel wall studs or
other supporting framework that is vertical or
horizontal.
3.
Using a stud sensor, locate the two wood studs where
you will mount the PDR.
4.
Draw a level plumb line to indicate the desired height
of the top mounting bracket.
5.
With an assistant, lift and hold the PDR against wall.
Use a pencil, awl, or small nail to mark the mounting
holes where two pilot holes will be drilled into the
center of the wood studs. Make sure the mounting
holes are level.
6.
With an assistant, lay the PDR down on the floor.
7.
Drill two pilot holes where the mounting holes were
marked for anchoring the top bracket on the PDR.
(See figure 1).
•
For 5/16” lag bolts (not included), use a 7/32” drill
bit.
•
For 3/8” lag bolts (not included), use a 9/32” drill
bit.
NOTE:
Do not tighten the lag bolts down at this time.
Leave enough space between the wall and lag
bolts to hang the PDR.
8.
Install two lag bolts and two flat washers, in the pilot
holes drilled in step 6, as follows:
•
If you used a 7/32” drill bit, use 5/16” lag bolts and
5/16” flat washers, minimum.
•
If you used a 9/32” drill bit, use 3/8” lag bolts (not
supplied) and 3/8” flat washers (not supplied).
