INSTALLATION ON SUPPORT ARM

The PDI-P15Xtelevision is designed to attach to a wallmountedsuspension arm capable ofsupporting a television

weighing 15 pounds. The single coaxial cable on top of the TVis used to supplyeither low voltage AC or DC power

(18 to 32 Volts) and the RFsignal to the television.

Washer from the TV’s swivel.

2.Remove the two Nose Cover Retainer Screws

and raise the metal nose cover.

3.Slide the TV’s swivel completely into the arm’s

clevis (slot) such that the Upper and Lower

arm mounting hole. Thread the

Retainer Bolt

with Lock Washer through the Upper

by sliding the plastic bootsections into mating

position.

WARNING:Tightening this cable

connection only with your fingers will

resultin reliabilityproblems weeks or

months later. Because the TV

draws its power currentthrough this

connection,eventuallythe finger-

to thermal cycling,develop

resistance and

prompta service call.

Tighten all “F” fitting connections with

a wrench!

6.For PDI-500

series arms remove the Safety

Brake Pin from the Safety Brake

Pin Hole,

reattach the acorn nut to the pin
