how to install Chief PCS Straight Column Single Ceiling Mount

• Begin by inspecting the installation site to confirm the ceiling structure can support the display and the weight of the mount. Ensure there is a suitable 1.5" NPT column or access to a compatible column that the PCS-2045 can thread onto securely.

• Thread the PCS-2045 onto the 1.5" NPT ceiling column until it is snug and secure. Use the manufacturer’s torque recommendations to avoid overtightening while ensuring a stable connection. Check that the column is vertical and aligned with the desired display orientation before proceeding.
• Attach the display mounting interface to the back of the display following the display manufacturer’s VESA pattern and weight guidelines. Align the display with the mount and secure it using appropriate fasteners. Verify that all mounting hardware is tightened to spec without over-torquing and that the display remains level.
• Route power and video cables neatly, using any built-in cable-management features or additional channels as needed to minimize visible cables. Perform a final alignment check, level the display, and test all connections to confirm proper operation. Leave the system powered on long enough to verify stability and edge-to-edge brightness consistency before completing the installation.
