CHIEF ConnexSys Series Installation Manual

CURVED VIDEO WALL GUIDELINES
The ConnexSys™ LVSXU is UL listed for use in certain curved video wall applications – but how do you know
if your install fits the criteria? Use this guide to determine if ConnexSys is a good match for your curved wall
installation. For comprehensive guidelines on mounting the LVSXU please reference the installation manual.
Strut Channel & Curve Radius Requirements
ConnexSys is compatible with curved walls built in a radius of 200" (5.08 m) or greater. The strut channel
material being used should also follow the guidelines listed in the chart below
Minimum Wall Radius
Minimum Yield Strength

Strut Channel Depth
Flange Length
Calculating the Wall Radius
1. Place a rigid, flat stick or strut channel (at least 3 ft or 1 m long – preferably longer) against the curved
wall as shown in the example below. Do NOT bend the stick or strut.
2. Measure the largest gap between the stick or strut and the wall.
3. Calculate the radius with the following equation:
Gap/2 + (Length/8 x Length/Gap) = Radius
Example
Stick/Strut Length: 48" (121.9 cm)
Gap: 0.375" (9.5 mm)
0.375/2 + (48/8 x 48/0.375) = 768" (19.5 m) Radius
