Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your Peerless-AV SmartMount SFP680.

1. Prepare the Wall Plate

The easy-hang wall plate design allows for a bolt to be pre-installed, simplifying the initial wall plate mounting process. Ensure the wall plate is level before securing all fasteners.

2. Attach Display Adapter Rails

3. Mount the Display

Carefully lift the display and hook the adapter rails onto the wall plate. The auto-latching adaptor rails will automatically secure the display without the need for additional tools. The mount's built-in kickstand can hold the display safely from the wall during cable routing and management.

4. Adjustments

The mount allows for both horizontal and vertical display adjustment. Lateral display adjustment is possible up to 3.38" (85.9mm). Additionally, 1" of post-installation vertical adjustment provides flexibility for fine-tuning the display's position.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, the Peerless-AV SmartMount SFP680 is designed for a fixed, flat portrait display. Adjustments for fine-tuning the display's position can be made as described in the "Setup and Installation" section.

• Lateral Adjustment: Slide the display horizontally along the wall plate to achieve the desired centering, up to 3.38 inches (85.9mm) in total.
• Vertical Adjustment: Utilize the 1 inch of post-installation vertical adjustment to fine-tune the display's height.
• Cable Management: The open wall plate design facilitates easy access for routing and managing cables behind the display.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your wall mount.

• Periodically check all mounting screws and fasteners to ensure they remain securely tightened.
• Clean the mount with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspect the mount for any signs of wear or damage. If damage is observed, contact Peerless-AV customer service for assistance.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during or after installation, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Display is not level:

  Ensure the wall plate was installed level. Use the 1 inch of post-installation vertical adjustment to make minor corrections if needed. Re-check wall plate installation if significant leveling issues persist.

• Display feels unstable:

  Verify all wall and display fasteners are securely tightened. Ensure the display weight does not exceed the mount's capacity (350 lbs). Confirm the wall structure is adequate to support the load.

• Difficulty attaching display to wall plate:

  Ensure the display adapter rails are correctly aligned with the wall plate hooks. The auto-latching mechanism should engage smoothly. Do not force the display; re-align and try again.
