Setup & Installation

1. Choose Mounting Option: Wall or Pole

The MI-1765 offers versatile mounting options for either a wall or an existing pole. Select the method that best suits your workspace.

Figure 1: Wall and Pole Mounting Options. The image displays two mounting methods: an adjustable pole mount base (fits poles 1.1" - 2.36" diameter) with +/-135° rotation, and a fixed wall mount base with +/-90° and +/-180° rotation options.

2. Wall Mounting Installation

2.1 Wood Stud Mounting

1. Using a stud finder, locate the center of a wood stud at your desired mounting height.
2. Hold the wall mount plate against the stud, ensuring it is centered. Use a bubble level to confirm straightness.
3. Mark the center of the mounting holes with a pencil.
4. Using a 3/16" (4.5mm) drill bit, drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
5. Secure the wall mount plate to the wall using the provided lag screws and washers. Tighten until secure.
6. Insert the decorative covers into each of the bolt holes.

2.2 Concrete / Brick Mounting

1. Hold the wall mount plate at the desired location on the concrete or brick wall. Use a bubble level to ensure straightness.
2. Mark the center of the mounting holes with a pencil.
3. Using a 3/8" (10mm) drill bit, drill holes at the marked locations to a depth of 2.4" (60mm).
4. Clear any dust and debris from the drilled holes.
5. Insert the provided concrete anchors into the holes.
6. Secure the wall mount plate to the wall using the provided lag screws and washers. Tighten until secure.
7. Insert the decorative covers into each of the bolt holes.

3. Pole Mounting Installation

This option is for mounting the arm to an existing pole with a diameter between 1.1" and 2.4".

1. Using the provided hex wrench, loosen the two bolts on the pole clamp until the clamp opens wide enough to slide onto your pole.
2. For thicker poles (1.8" - 2.4" diameter), remove the pre-installed bolts and replace them with the alternative longer bolts provided. Adjust the width of the clamp to be slightly larger than the pole.
3. Slide the pole clamp onto the pole at the desired height.
4. Tighten the bolts on the pole clamp until secure.

4. Attaching the Spring Arm to the Mount

1. CAUTION: The spring arm is under tension. It is recommended to have a second person assist with this step. Carefully cut the zip tie securing the spring arm.
2. Place the end of the spring arm onto the end of the wall mount or pole mount.
3. Tighten the bolt on the back of the spring arm to secure it to the base.

5. Attaching the Monitor

1. Using the appropriate size bolts and washers for your monitor's VESA pattern (75x75mm or 100x100mm), install the top two bolts into the monitor's VESA holes. Leave a gap of approximately 0.1 inches (2.5mm) between the bolt head and the monitor surface.
2. Carefully hang the monitor onto the top of the VESA plate on the spring arm, aligning the top two bolts with the slots.
3. Install the lower two bolts and washers through the lower holes of the VESA plate into the monitor.
4. Tighten all four bolts until secure, ensuring not to overtighten.
