Installing The Gx40 Wall Bracket; Hanging The Gx40 On The Wall Bracket - Planar GX40 User Manual

2.1 Installing the GX40 Wall Bracket

The GX40 hangs on its wall bracket in either landscape or portrait orientation.
Installing the wall bracket
The wall bracket comes with each GX40. See picture in
"You Should Have These Accessories" on page 2.
Using hardware you supply, bolt or screw the wall
bracket to a wall. Be sure to bolt or screw to structural ele-
ments of the wall, not just the wall board or drywall. The
GX40 weighs 55 lbs. (25 kg). The mounting method you
use must be capable of holding five times this weight (265
lbs., 120 kg). The mounting holes are on 6.26" centers.
When installed, the wall bracket protrudes 0.375" from the
back panel of the GX40.
✎
This space at the rear of the GX40 will be
occupied by the wall bracket when the
display is hanging on a wall.
Ventilation
The GX40 needs no space to the rear for ventilation.
However, like all electronic devices, it does produce some
heat. The space above the display should provide enough
space so that heated air can get away. This means you
should not mount it into a sealed space with nowhere for
the heated air to escape.
Portrait or Landscape
The wall bracket always mounts the same way, whether
the displays will be hung as portrait or landscape. The
hooks on the wall bracket should always have the open part
facing upward.
✎
The Locking Wall Bracket does not have the
large back plate. It consists of the square, open
box with the locking mechanism. This Locking
Wall Bracket with CATLOCK™ is a standard
accessory.
