Step 1: Mounting the Wall Plate:
Wood Stud, Brick, Solid Concrete, and Concrete Block mounting options are provided.
Wood Stud mounting:
The Wall Plate (a)
must be mounted to two wood studs at least 12" apart.
Use a high quality stud sensor to locate two adjacent
studs. It is a good idea to verify where the studs are located with an awl or thin nail shown in Diagram 1a. Pre-drill a 2.5" deep hole at
the desired height in each stud using a 3/16" drill bit. Make sure these holes are in the center area of the studs and level with each other.
Use the Wall Plate as a template to mark the location of the second hole in each stud. Drill 2.5" deep holes using the 3/16" drill bit in the
marked location. Attach the Wall Plate to the wall using the four 1/4 x 2.5” Lag Bolts (t) and four Lag Bolt Washers (r). Make sure the
Wall Plate is oriented so the flat surface in the center of the plate is against the wall and that a set of Lag Bolts is on each side of the two
large holes in the center as shown in Diagram 1b.
Brick, Solid Concrete and Concrete Block mounting:
Use the Wall Plate (a) as a template to mark 6 hole locations on the wall. The outer holes must fall to left and right of the two large holes
in the middle of the plate. Three in the top row of slots and three more in the bottom row. Make sure these holes are level and there is at
least 6" between any two holes. Pre-Drill these holes with a 1/2" masonry bit to at least 2.5" in depth. Insert a Concrete Anchor (u) into
each of these holes. Make sure the anchor is seated completely flush with the concrete surface even if there is a layer of drywall or other
material in front. Attach the Wall Plate to the wall using 6 Lag Bolts (t) and 6 Lag Bolt Washers (r).

Step 2: Select the Appropriate Hardware for your television
Always make sure the television is unplugged before threading any bolt into the back panel!
Thread bolts carefully into your television by hand before tightening. If you feel resistance, remove the bolt immediately! If you
are unable to find appropriate hardware for your television, consult a local hardware store or call Sanus Systems.
Locate the threaded inserts on the back of your flat panel television and determine which of the provided Bolts is the correct diameter.
To test each diameter, thread the Bolts carefully into your television by hand until you find the diameter that correctly fits.
Next, determine the correct length of the required Bolt. Televisions with a flat back will require one of the shorter Bolts without a spacer.
Some televisions have a curved back or have recessed threaded inserts. This may require a longer Bolt along with a Spacer placed be-
tween the television and the Monitor Bracket.
Once you have the correct bolt picked out, you can follow the diagrams below to see what additional hardware you will need to mount
the Monitor Brackets (b,c) to your television. For a television with a flat back, see Step 3 for installation instructions. For a television
with a curved back see Step 4. For a television that has a back with recessed threaded inserts see Step 5.

Step 3: Attaching the Monitor Brackets to a TV with a flat back
WARNING: DO NOT LAY THE TELEVISION FACE DOWN ON THE GLASS, lean it up against a wall or other solid surface!
Laying the television down on the glass may cause permanent damage.
The Monitor Brackets (b,c) should be placed as vertically close to center of the television as possible before installation. For a flat back
TV that requires the M4 or M5 diameter Bolt, thread a M4 x 12 (d) or a M5 x 12 (f) Bolt through the appropriate Lock Washer (l,m), an
M4/M5 Washer (s), the Monitor Bracket and finally into the TV. See Detailed View A of Diagram 3 for assistance. If your TV requires
the M6 or M8 diameter Bolt thread a M6 x 12 (h) or a M8 x 16 (j) Bolt through the appropriate Lock Washer (n,o), through the Moni-
tor Bracket and into the TV. See Detailed View B of Diagram 3 for assistance. Proceed to tighten the Bolts firmly with a phillips screw
driver.

Step 4: Attaching the Monitor Brackets to a television with a curved back
WARNING: DO NOT LAY THE TELEVISION FACE DOWN ON THE GLASS, lean it up against a wall or other solid surface!
Laying the television down on the glass may cause permanent damage.
The Monitor Brackets (b,c) should be placed as vertically close to center of the television as possible before installation. If your TV has
a curved back and requires either a M4 or M5 diameter bolt, thread a M4 x 30 (e) or a M5 x 30 (g) Bolt through the appropriate Lock
Washer (l,m), an M4/M5 Washer (s), the Monitor Bracket, an M4/M5 Washer, a M4/M5 Spacer (p) and into the TV as seen in Detailed
View A of Diagram 4. If you determined that your TV requires a Bolt with a M6 or M8 Diameter, thread a M6 x 35 (i) or a M8 x 40 (k)
Bolt through the appropriate Lock Washer (n,o), the Monitor Bracket, a M6/M8 Spacer (q) and into the TV as seen in Detailed View B
of Diagram 4. Proceed to tighten the Bolts firmly with a phillips screw driver.
