Assembly and Mounting – Things to Think About First SAFETY NOTICE: • For proper support, the Transcend In-Wall Mount MUST be attached to a load bearing material. This applies to all mounting point on the unit. • The Transcend In-Wall Mount is ONLY designed and rated for VERTICAL, NON-INVERTED USE. DO NOT INSTALL THIS MOUNT UPSIDE DOWN, SIDEWAYS or HORIZONTALLY. The Transcend In-Wall Mount is designed for use with flat panel or curved televisions.

Figure 4, Maximum Swivel Screen Back Plate Attaching Screen Back Plate to Mount The Screen Back Plate needs to be attached to the Mount before anything else can be done. Attach through the holes shown in Figure 5. Slide the Swivel Pivot Bolt through the holes and washers from the top as shown in Figure 6. Do it from the top so that even if the nut comes off, the Bolt cannot slide out because of gravity. Some holes may be tight, if so gently hammer the bolt through.
Important: The TV needs to be centered on the mount to avoid leaning Conditions for Mounting to Wall 1. Figure 7 and Figure 8 show how the mount gets laid out in the wall. 2. The television should be centered on the mount, if not the television will sag to one side. The heavier the TV and the more off center, the more unlevel the TV will be through its range of motion. If your stud placement doesn’t allow for the TV to be centered, you will need to change the stud configuration. 3.
Mounting To Wall Note: The person installing the mount should be a competent person with experience mounting load bearing assemblies. 1. Once you know your location, draw a 26.25” tall x 13.2” wide rectangle centered horizontally on the TV as shown in Figure 8. 2. Cut a hole along the lines. 3. You’ll need a friend for the next steps. 4. Put the Mount in the hole, have someone hold the mount so the drywall is not taking all of the weight. 5. Pre-drill 1 of the top row of mounting holes 2.
Attaching the Television to the Mount Remove this hardware from Vertical Bars before After the above steps are finished you are ready to put the television on the mount. 1. Adjust the counterbalance to the approximate force to handle the weight of your television. See the Adjusting the Counterbalance section on page 11 for more details. If in doubt, error to the counterbalance supplying too much force. You can easily adjust force later. 2. We recommend having someone help putting the TV on the mount.
Figure 11, Positions Mount Will Stay At Above Shelf Mounting To get as much downward travel as possible when mounting above a shelf it is very important that you put extra thought into the mounting process. In general, the higher the Transcend In-Wall is above the shelf, the more downward travel you will get. Also, the lower the television is attached on the mount, the higher the Transcend In-Wall can be mounted to the wall.
Adjusting the Counterbalance The counterbalance comes out of the box set for maximum force and will need to be adjusted for the mount to work properly with your television. To adjust the counterbalance, turn the bottom of the counterbalance screw with a 9/16 inch box or ratcheting wrench, see Figure 13. This moves the Counterbalance Block up and down. The approximate counterbalance block settings for various television weights are shown in Figure 14.
Wire Management Electrical Knockouts are provided above and below the mount for easy in wall wire routing as shown in Figure 15. To get the knockouts to work, you will need the following items which are not included; 1. Old Work Single Gang Brackets o 2. Outlets o 3. Make sure they can clamp down to .075 inches. Put the outlet that sticks up more on the side that has more clearance Small Cover Plates Consult a professional if you don’t have any experience working with electrical systems.
Setting the Tilt in the Top Position In the top position the mount tilts from vertical to about 7 degrees (Figure 2 and Figure 3). To set the angle, put the mount in the out position for easier access and so there isn’t any force on the cam. Adjust the Top Tilt Cam by removing the top Tilt Adjustment Bolt (Figure 17) and putting it into a different set of holes and hand tighten with one nut. Approximate tilt settings are shown in Figure 18.
Maintenance To ensure the mount will work great for as long as possible follow these simple procedures: 4. Move the mount up and down at least twice a week, this keeps the seals in the gas springs oiled. 5. Lubricate all joints every 3 months. May need more, especially if outside 6. Visually check all bolts every 3 months to ensure nothing looks like it is coming loose.
