Setup and Installation

The Barkan Long TV Wall Mount is designed for a self, easy, and fast assembly process. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Wall Compatibility and Preparation

Ensure your wall type is suitable for mounting. The mount is compatible with:

• Drywall with wood studs
• Concrete blocks / Concrete wall

Note: The mount is not compatible with drywall/gypsum/plaster without wood studs.

Required Tools:

• Drill (with 1/4" - 6mm, 3/8" - 10mm, and 5/32" - 4mm bits)
• Level
• Stud finder (if mounting to wood studs)

2. Attaching Adapters to the TV

The mount is designed to fit various screen types, including flat and curved TVs, and those with special back structures. The four adapters can move in two dimensions to ensure a firm fit without additional spacers.

1. Identify the VESA mounting holes on the back of your TV.
2. Select the appropriate screws (M4, M6, or M8) from the hardware kit that fit your TV's VESA holes.
3. Connect the TV plate adapters to the rear side of the TV using the selected screws. Ensure they are securely fastened.

3. Installing the Bracket on the Wall

1. Determine the desired height and location for your TV. Use a stud finder to locate wood studs if applicable.
2. Use the included drilling template to mark the drilling points on the wall.
3. Drill pilot holes according to the wall type and anchor requirements.
4. Securely install the wall bracket using the appropriate wall screws and anchors from the hardware kit. Ensure the bracket is level.

4. Snapping the TV onto the Bracket

1. Carefully lift the TV (with adapters attached) and align it with the wall bracket.
2. Snap the TV onto the bracket, ensuring it is securely engaged.
3. Engage the Fall Proof system to prevent accidental disengagement of the screen.

Operating the Mount

The Barkan Long TV Wall Mount offers full motion capabilities, allowing you to adjust your TV for the optimal viewing experience.

Adjustments:

• Rotation: The double arm rotates 180° near the wall.
• Fold: The arm can fold 360°.
• Swivel: The screen connection plate swivels 180°.
• Tilt: Tool-free tilt adjustment from 0° to 10°.
• Leveling: The screen can be leveled ±5°.

To adjust, gently push or pull the TV to the desired angle. The mount is designed for smooth movement.

Image: A diagram illustrating the full motion capabilities of the Barkan TV mount, including a maximum load of 110 lbs (50 kg), tilt range of 0°-15°, 180° swivel, ±5° leveling, and an extension range of 26.4 inches (67 cm) from the wall. VESA compatibility from 75x75mm to 600x400mm is also indicated.

Determining Maximum Swivel Angle:

The maximum swivel angle depends on your TV's size and its distance from the wall. For optimal viewing, the 'line of sight' should be perpendicular (90°) to the screen.

• Up to 52" TVs: Can achieve a 90° swivel.
• 65" TVs: Can achieve approximately a 56° swivel.
• 86" TVs: Can achieve approximately a 39° swivel.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your Barkan TV Wall Mount, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.
• Cleaning: Wipe the mount with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Movement Check: Occasionally move the TV through its full range of motion to ensure smooth articulation. If any stiffness is noted, check for obstructions or loose components.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Barkan TV Wall Mount, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• TV does not fit the VESA plate: Ensure you have selected the correct VESA pattern and screws for your TV. The mount supports VESA standards from 75x75mm up to 600x400mm. If your TV has a non-standard back structure, the adjustable adapters should accommodate it. Refer to the 'Backscreen connection positioning options' diagram. If issues persist, contact Barkan support.
• Tilt mechanism does not hold position: Ensure all tilt adjustment screws are tightened sufficiently. If the tilt continues to slip, inspect the mechanism for any damage or wear.
• Mount feels unstable or makes cracking sounds: This often indicates improper installation. Verify that the wall bracket is securely fastened to a suitable wall structure (wood studs or concrete) using the correct anchors and screws. Ensure all connections are tight. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 110 lbs (50 kg).
• Difficulty moving the TV: Check for any obstructions or cables that might be snagged. Ensure the mount's joints are not overly tightened.

For further assistance, please contact Barkan customer support.
