BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Large Flat Panel

Dual Arm Wall Mount

Model PNR™

The PNR is wall-mounted, rugged, versatile, and

installer-friendly. The PNR is compatible with the

standard (14” x 14”) PSB interface bracket in which a

display can be mounted in either the landscape or

portrait position on the PNR.

The dual arms on the PNR:

• Extend from the wall 24-7/8” in length

• Pivot up to 90º left or right of center

The standard PNR is shipped with the support posts for

the dual arms centered in the mount. The support posts

can be moved laterally right or left of center to readily

accommodate sites with limited wall space. The mount

also has two inches of height adjustment. The tilt range

for the display is 5º up and 15º down.

The PNR was designed for fast installation. After drawing

the plumb line and installing the two top lag bolts into the

dual wall studs, the installer hangs the PNR on its top

bracket and installs two lag bolts in the bottom bracket.

Next, the installer makes the height adjustment, mounts

the display, and connects the power/audio/video cables,

which are diverted into the built-in path in the swing-out

arms. After making the lateral, rotational, and tilt

adjustments, the installation process is complete.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the PNR, which could affect or void the Factory warranty, and to the equipment that

will be attached to it, thoroughly study all instructions and illustrations before you begin the installation. Pay particular

attention to the “Important Warnings and Cautions” on Page 2.

• The combined weight of the components installed on the PNR must not exceed 200 lbs. (90.72kg).

• The PNR wall mount must be installed on dual wall studs or supporting framework. The wall to which the PNR is

anchored must be capable of supporting five times the total weight of the mount and all attached equipment.

• If you have any questions about this installation, contact Chief Manufacturing at 1-800-582-6480.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: Improper installation can result in serious

personal injury!

WARNING: It is the responsibility of the installer to

verify that the wall to which the PNR is anchored will

safely support five times the combined load of all

attached components and equipment. If not, reinforce

the structure before installing the PNR.

1. Locate two wood studs 16” apart on center

2. Determine the exact mounting location prior to

installation, considering screen size and the unit’s

total swing arm radius. Keep in mind that the PNR

must be mounted to wood studs that are 16” apart on

center.

NOTE: Mount the PNR between parallel wall studs or

other supporting framework that is vertical or

horizontal.

3. Using a stud sensor, locate the two wood studs where

you will mount the PNR.

4. Draw a level plumb line to indicate the desired height

of the top mounting bracket.

5. With an assistant, lift and hold the PNR against wall.

Use a pencil, awl, or small nail to mark the mounting

holes where two pilot holes will be drilled into the

center of the wood studs. Make sure the mounting

holes are level.

6. With an assistant, lay the PNR down on the floor.

7. Drill two pilot holes using a 7/32” drill bit where the

mounting holes were marked for anchoring the top

bracket. See Figure 1.

8. Install two 5/16” x 2 1/2”lag bolts and two 5/16” flat

washers, through PNR Top Bracket and into upper

pilot holes.

NOTE: Lag bolts and flat washers are not supplied.

NOTE: Do not tighten the lag bolts down at this time.

Leave enough space between the wall and lag

bolts to hang the PNR.

1. With an assistant, lift and hang the PNR on the two lag

bolts and washers previously installed on the wall.

(See figure 2).

NOTE: Make sure washers are installed in front of the

top bracket, not behind the bracket.

2. Slide the PNR into the desired position on the wall

and tighten the two lag bolts.

Mounting the bottom bracket

1. Mark the two mounting holes in the bottom mounting

bracket (See figure 3). Make sure to align the holes

parallel to the holes drilled in the top bracket.

2. Drill two pilot holes in the wall studs using a 7/32” drill

bit.

3. Install two 5/16” x 2 1/2” lag bolts and two 5/16”

washers through PNR Bottom Bracket into the lower

pilot holes.

NOTE: Lag bolts and flat washers are not supplied.

4. Tighten all lag bolts.

Adjust Height on the PNR

NOTE: Height adjustment range up to 1-1/4 inches.

To adjust the PNR height:

1. Check PNR for the desired height. If needed, use the

adjustment wrench (40) to adjust the PNR height.

• Turn adjustment nut (see Figure 4) clockwise

(CW) to lower the unit height, or

• Turn adjustment nut counterclockwise (CCW) to

raise the unit height.

Install Cover Plates and End Caps

NOTE: The cover plates and end caps have pressure

fitting ends that lock in place with each other.

1. Install cover plate (20) over the top bracket.

(See figure 5)

CABLE MANAGEMENT

WARNING: Make sure your cables do not run through

a pinch point.

1. Route power/audio/video cables through the cable

channel in top arm (see Figure 7), allowing sufficient

slack in cables for extension and avoiding pinch

(see Figure 8), using tiewraps (50, not shown) to

secure cables to each arm, and through cable

channel.

CAUTION: To prevent equipment damage, do not

route cables through holes in the display mounting

plate.

3. Route power/audio/video cables to an open area

behind the mounting plate (not shown). Leave a

sufficient amount of slack in cables to allow for

connection and extension where needed.
