Description

The PMCL-CM is a ceiling mount that can be used to mount any of Pelco’s 300 or 400 Series flat panel LCD monitors. This mount supports Pelco 500 Series

PMCL524BL and PMCL532BLLCD monitors, although a PMCL-V200 adapter plate is required. The PMCL532F monitor requires the PMCL-V200 adapter

(not supplied). The PMCL542F, PMCL546BL, and PMCL555BL require the PMCL-VAF adapter (not supplied).

The PMCL-CM mount can be swiveled 360 degrees to allow you to use your monitor in either landscape or portrait view. The mount also allows you to tilt

the monitor 35 degrees for the best viewing angle. This mount must be used with a pole to hang the monitor from a ceiling. It can also be used with Pelco’s

MRCA ceiling mount. The PMCL-CM is capable of supporting a maximum load of 40.8 kg (90 lbs).

NOTE: If you are installing a mount using a Pelco adapter (PMCL-V200 or PMCL-VAF), refer to the manual shipped with the adapter for installation

instructions.

Installation

NOTE: It is recommended that two people be present when mounting the monitor. One person should hold the monitor, while the second person installs the

screws to secure the monitor to the mount.

1. Attach the mounting flange to the ceiling using one of the following installation methods (mounting hardware is not supplied):

• Wood beam ceiling installation: If installing the mount to a wood ceiling stud, the stud must be at least 2-inches x 4-inches with a maximum

0.5-inch thick layer of plasterboard. For installation, the hole size should be 11/64-inch and 2-inches deep.

(1) Use a stud finder to locate and mark the edges of the stud to

which the mount will be attached.

(2) Center the mounting flange between the edges of the stud.

(3) Use the mounting flange as a template to mark two mounting

holes that are not adjacent to each other.

(4) Attach the mounting flange to the ceiling using two 1/4 x 2-inch

wood screws (not supplied), as shown in Figure 1.

• I-beam ceiling installation: For installation, the hole size should be

17/64-inch and deep enough to go through the flange.

(1) Use the mounting flange as a template to mark the mounting

holes on the I-beam.

(2) Attach the mounting flange to the I-beam using 1/4-20 x 1-inch

machine screws with nuts (not supplied), as shown in Figure 2.

Depending on the size of the I-beam, machine screws longer

than 1-inch may be required.

• Concrete ceiling installation: The minimum concrete thickness is

3-inches. For installation, the hole size should be 1/4-inch and

1 3/4-inches deep. The concrete anchor must be an ITW RED HEAD

Trubolt Wedge Anchor SWW-1422.

(1) Use the mounting flange as a template to mark the mounting

holes on the ceiling.

(2) Attach the mounting flange to the concrete ceiling using

1/4 x 1.75-inch wedge concrete anchors with nuts and washers
