FlatMount Frame: Quick Install

Mounting Several FlatMount Frame Units

You can mount several FlatMount Frames next to each other (vertically and horizontally). The delivered 
parts of the housing include a connector block, which you can use to combine two housings.

1.  Lead Cable into the Housing

See 

«Lead Cable into the Housing» on the front. Since several cable inlets are possible here as well, 

make sure that you pierce the inlet that is closest to the required cable connection. The connecting 
piece also has a cable inlet. Therefore, you can lead the cable connections of the second housing 
through the first housing.

2. Insert Housing

See 

«Insert Housing» on the front. The measurement 

for the installation opening depends on the number 
of FlatMount Frame units and the required connector 
blocks:

.

Set the protective cardboard cover 
(included with the delivered parts) 
into the housing before pushing it 
into the wall cavity. This prevents cement from entering the interior of the housing. 
After you have installed the housing into the wall, you can easily remove the carton 
by pushing through the pre-cut opening and pulling it out.

Inserting and Detaching Modules

Insert the Module (Using MxDisplay as an Example)

Make sure that the seal has been positioned properly on the back of the MxDisplay 
and the protective foil has been removed. Insert the MxDisplay into the frame with 
its right side first (this applies for both the single frame and the FlatMount Frame). 
Then push the MxDisplay on the left side into the frame until it clicks into place.

Detach the Module (Using MxDisplay as an Example)

Insert the ruler (included with the FlatMount Frame) into the slit on the lower left 
in such a way that the upper part of the ruler is on the same level as the lower 
part of the MxDisplay image area. Push the outer end of the ruler downwards 
(see adjacent fig.). The MxDisplay is released on the left side, so you can pull it 
from the frame.

In-wall Installation in Cavities (without In-Wall Housing)

Installations in cavity walls without in-wall housings are possible in 
materials that are 3 to 25 mm/0.18 to 1 in thick. For this installation type, 
you need to replace the short clamping brackets that are attached to 
the FlatMount Frame by the long clamping brackets included with the delivered parts (item 1.2). These 
clamping brackets have to be shortened according to the thickness of the material.

1.  Replace Clamping Brackets

Prepare the opening for the FlatMount Frame (W x H: 

107 

107

 

mm

). Measure the thickness of the 

material. Cut the long clamping brackets that are included with the FlatMount Frame to the correct 
length according to the thickness of the material. Replace the short clamping brackets that are 
attached to the FlatMount Frame by the ones you just shortened.

To facilitate the installation, there are notches for the clamping brackets on three 
corners of the FlatMount Frame. After you have attached the long clamping brackets 
to the frame, turn three of the clamping brackets so that they fit into the notches. 
Turn the fourth clamping bracket (on the corner without notch) downwards.

2. Insert FlatMount Frame

Insert the FlatMount Frame into the opening. Make sure that the 
red knob is on the lower left corner and that the arrow on the red 
knob points at the “open lock” icon. Insert the lower left edge of 
the frame first, then follow with the lower right edge. After that, 
slightly pull the lower part of the frame back out. This causes the 
upper part of the frame to “fall” into the opening.

!

Caution:

 In situations, in which a theft protection is not necessary, e.g., indoor installations, 

do not

 activate the theft protection (the red knob remains in the “open lock” position). If you 

twist the knob by mistake, you have to be able to attach a battery (9 V DC). Otherwise, the 
frame cannot be released!

3. Tighten Screws

Tighten the screws and make sure that you do not overtighten them. The endings of the clamping 
brackets hold the FlatMount Frame to the surface.
