Wall, Tower or Banner Installation

Installing the First or Bottom Row

Note: 

Detailed instructions for wall, tower or banner installation can 

be found on the Installation & Configuration Guide CD.

1 Unpack the displays for the bottom row only. Do NOT 

unpack screens yet. Check the contents. (page 3)

2 Make sure all VIMs and Option keys are installed on each 

display. If you are building a tall array, it is easier to install 
them while they are on the ground.

3 Release the optical engines from their shipping position.
4 For each unit, install a screen support. 
5 Assemble the bottom row ONLY. Start by finding the high-

est part of the installation area. The easiest way to deter-
mine this is by placing shims with the bottom row of units 
in place and seeing which unit is highest.

6 For front access systems only, affix plastic spacers on the 

top of the chassis of the lower units before stacking. These 
give just enough space to allow units to be removed with-
out scratching or damaging surrounding units.

7 Check for plumb, aligned and square; adjust the bottom 

shims as needed.

Note: 

It is important to get the first row right. Any mistake made here 

will multiply as the wall goes up.

Installing the Second and Subsequent Rows

1 Unpack only the displays that will be in this row. (page 2)
2 Make sure all VIMs and Option keys are installed on each 

display.

3 Release the optical engines from their shipping position. 

(page 7)

4 For front access systems, put plastic spacers on the top of 

the units, before stacking more units.

5 Assemble the next row on top of the previous row, start-

ing with the center unit and working out.

6 As each second-row unit is placed on the first row, tighten 

the bolt-through captive screws in the bottom row to hold 
the second row in place.

7 Confirm the units are still plumb, aligned and square. 

Adjust bottom row shims as needed.

Note: 

For units in the same row, check that the fronts are in a straight 

line by pulling a piece of string tight across the row.

8 Install screen brackets as you go up. (page 3)
9 If you have a wall of three or higher, install tie backs to a 

wall or other building structure to prevent tipping. Leave 
them somewhat loose for now. For greater support, use 
with rear Side Top-Bottom brackets.

10 Install cables. See page 9 and page 10.
11 When the wall is complete - aligned and square, all screen 

brackets installed -

 

install screens

 

(page 8) starting with 

the center bottom row and working out in the row, Install 
screens on the next row up.
