INSTALLATION
Preinstallation
IMPORTANT ! :
Reference the LED screen installation
manual for specific instructions regarding care, handling,
cabling and installation of the LED screens.
CAUTION:
Handle the LED screens with care, being
careful to not impact or drop the LED screen.
CAUTION:
There is a magnetic surface on the front of the
LED screen. To prevent damage ensure that no metallic
object is pulled onto the LED screen.
NOTE:
When planning the installation, remember the
requirement to run power and signal to the video wall.
Site Assessment
Before beginning any installation the site should be assessed in
several areas to help avoid any issues during the actual
installation.
•
Wall Structure
- It is recommended that a 3/4"
furniture-grade plywood-backed wall be used in most
LED video walls. The use of a wood stud wall is not
appropriate since the studs won’t be in the proper
location for an LED video wall.
•
Wall High/Low Points
- Locate any high or low points
on the wall that may cause problems, and try to set up
install so that these points can be avoided, if possible.
•
Flatness/Plumb of Wall
- Learn how much depth
adjustment will be needed across the LED video wall
mounting area.
•
Power/Cable
- Locate all power outlets and cable
access holes that need to be cleared by the installation.
Plan appropriately for those holes.
•
Installing in a Recess
- Verify the level and
squareness of the recessed area. Since these areas
are rarely perfect you may need to decide what to use
as a reference point.
•
The recess top or bottom may not be level so the
video wall may need to be installed to align with
the recess, rather than being level with the wall.
•
If the recess is not square the sides may make the
recess look crooked. If possible, the recess
should be fixed. If repairing the recess isn’t an
option it may be best to "split the difference"
between the recess sides to make the video wall
appear level.
•
Where to Begin the Video Wall
- The installer should
make the decision whether the video wall will be started
at the top, bottom, left, right or center.
•
If a lower bottom reference is given in the
specifications, it may make sense to start at the
bottom of the video wall to ensure that this
specification is met from the start of installation.
•
If building inside of a recess, it may be easier to
start in the center of the space since the video
wall will most likely need to be centered within the
recess.
•
Vertical Connector Brackets
- If creating a video wall
with more than a single row, you will be using the
vertical connectors which are sold separately.
•
Vertical Connector Brackets [sold separately]
If the video wall requires multiple rows, decide on
whether the installation will start with the top or
bottom row. This determines to which end (top or
bottom) the vertical connector brackets are
attached.

Just a tip -
For larger LED walls it is helpful to
check placement and alignment of the mounts by
putting a few cabinets without the LED’s in place in
the bottom row of the installed mounts (referencing
the LED screen installation manual for specific
instructions) during the mount installation, verifying
that everything is staying aligned and level, and
then continuing the mount installation.
Just a tip -
The horizontal slots located along
the vertical mount pieces (and vertical slots
located along the horizontal mount pieces) are the
center-of-screen indicators to illustrate where the
center of each LED screen will be located, and can
be used to hold a tape measure tab while
measuring. (See Figure 1)
