Setup and Installation
Follow these steps carefully to ensure a secure installation. It is recommended to have two people for TV mounting.
Step 1: Pre-Installation Check
- Verify Wall Type: Ensure your wall is suitable for mounting (16"-24" wood studs, concrete, or brick).
- Check TV Size: Confirm your TV is between 42-100 inches.
- Verify VESA Pattern: Measure the horizontal and vertical distance between the mounting holes on the back of your TV. This must be between 200x200mm and 600x600mm.
Always perform these checks before beginning the installation process.
Step 2: Attach Brackets to TV Back
- Carefully place your TV face down on a soft, clean surface to prevent screen damage.
- Align the TV brackets with the mounting holes on the back of your TV.
- Select the appropriate screws, washers, and spacers from the hardware kit that fit your TV's VESA holes.
- Securely fasten the brackets to the TV using a screwdriver, ensuring they are centered and tight. Do not overtighten.
Step 3: Install the Wall Plate
- Determine the desired height for your TV. Use a pencil to mark the center of the desired location on the wall.
- Use a stud finder to locate the center of two adjacent wood studs (for wood stud installation) or mark drill points for concrete/brick.
- Hold the wall plate against the wall, aligning the center with your mark and ensuring it is level using the included bubble level. Mark the drill holes.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. For wood studs, drill 7/32" (5.5mm) holes. For concrete/brick, drill 3/8" (10mm) holes and insert concrete anchors.
- Attach the wall plate to the wall using the lag bolts and washers. Tighten securely.
Step 4: Hang TV onto Wall Plate
- With assistance, carefully lift the TV with the attached brackets.
- Hook the TV brackets onto the top edge of the wall plate.
- Gently lower the TV until the brackets fully engage with the wall plate.
- Engage the safety latches located at the bottom of the TV brackets to secure the TV to the wall plate. The magnetic pull tabs can be used to lock or release the TV.

Operating Instructions
Tilting Adjustment
The PERLESMITH PSAT3B mount allows for a tilt range of +5° to -15°. To adjust the tilt, loosen the tilt knobs on the side of the TV brackets, adjust the TV to your desired angle, and then tighten the knobs securely. This helps reduce glare and optimize viewing angles.
Swivel Adjustment
The mount offers a ±5° swivel adjustment. This feature allows for minor horizontal adjustments to achieve a perfectly level screen after installation. Simply grasp the sides of the TV and gently rotate it to the desired position.
Leveling Adjustment
After installation, you can fine-tune your TV's alignment with a ±2° leveling adjustment. This ensures your TV is perfectly horizontal, even if the wall plate was not installed perfectly level.
The mount offers a ±5° swivel for optimal viewing flexibility.

Troubleshooting

- TV Not Level: Use the ±2° leveling adjustment feature to fine-tune the TV's horizontal position. Ensure the wall plate was installed as level as possible.
