WARNING: Anchors must be installed into structurally sound solid concrete with a minimum thickness of 4″ (101.6mm) or greater. Installation into hollow concrete block, mortar, or concrete that exhibits cracking, spalling, or other defects may result in failure of anchor and serious personal injury or damage to equipment!

1. Drill a 1/4″ diameter x 1-1/2″ deep hole at each marked cable anchor support location. Ensure the hole is at least 2-1/2″ from the nearest concrete edge. Remove debris from the hole.

2. Tap a concrete anchor (F) into each hole until the anchor head is seated in the hole.

WARNING: Failure to properly set anchor may result in failure of anchor and serious personal injury or damage to equipment!

3. Using the claw portion of a hammer, set each anchor (F) by pulling it out of the hole approximately 1/4″ (6.4mm).

4. Hang a turnbuckle (G) or connecting link (C) through the hole on each concrete anchor (F). NOTE: For larger displays where the turnbuckles may be hidden, it may be acceptable to install the turnbuckles behind the display instead of up at the ceiling. Otherwise, installing the turnbuckles at the ceiling is recommended for safety.

5. Insert the portion of the manufactured loop on the cable (J) through the hole in the turnbuckle (G) or connecting link (C). Insert the end of the cable (J) through its own loop to secure it.

WARNING: Anchors must be installed into wood that measures at least 3-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ (88.9mm x 38.1mm), and the anchor must install in the center of the narrower (1-1/2″ [38.1mm]) face.

1. Drill a 5/32″ diameter x 2″ deep hole at each marked cable anchor support location. Remove debris from the hole.

2. Fully thread an eye lag (E) into each hole.

3. Hang a turnbuckle (G) or connecting link (C) through the hole on each eye lag. NOTE: For larger displays where the turnbuckles may be hidden, it may be acceptable to install the turnbuckles behind the display instead of up at the ceiling. Otherwise, installing the turnbuckles at the ceiling is recommended for safety.

4. Route the end of the cable (J) through the turnbuckle (G) or connecting link (C) hole and then through the cable’s own loop to secure it.

WARNING: Anchors must be installed into structurally sound solid concrete with a minimum thickness of 4″ (101.6mm) or greater. Installation into hollow concrete block, mortar, or concrete that exhibits cracking, spalling, or other defects may result in failure of anchor and serious personal injury or damage to equipment!

1. Drill a 1/4″ diameter x 1-1/2″ deep hole at each marked cable anchor support location. Use a plumb drop tool to make sure holes will be directly aligned with the holes on the ceiling. Ensure the hole is at least 2-1/2″ from the nearest concrete edge. Remove debris from the hole.

2. Tap a concrete anchor (F) into each hole until the anchor head is seated in the hole.

WARNING: Failure to properly set anchor may result in failure of anchor and serious personal injury or damage to equipment!

3. Using the claw portion of a hammer, set each anchor (F) by pulling it out of the hole approximately 1/4″ (6.4mm).

4. Insert the portion of the manufactured loop on the cable (J) through the hole in the anchor (F). Insert the end of the cable (J) through its own loop to secure it.

WARNING: Anchors must be installed into wood that measures at least 3-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ (88.9mm x 38.1mm), and the anchor must install in the center of the narrower (1-1/2″ [38.1mm]) face.

1. Drill a 5/32″ diameter x 2″ deep hole at each marked cable anchor support location. Use a plumb drop tool to make sure the holes will be directly aligned with the holes on the ceiling. Remove debris from the hole.

2. Fully thread an eye lag (E) into each hole.

3. Route the end of the cable (J) through the eye lag (E) and then through the cable’s own loop to secure it.

1. Use four #10-24 x 1/2″ button head cap screws (K) to secure the two outer frames (A) to the main assembly (B).

2. Use four connecting links (C) and cable locks (D) to secure the cables (J) to the two outer frames (A). The connecting links are used on the bottom, while the cable locks are used on the top to secure the loose end of the cables passing through the ceiling hardware.

NOTE: If connecting the turnbuckles (G) behind the display, connect turnbuckles into the top holes of the outer frame instead of connecting links. In this setup, two turnbuckles (G) are used on top, and two connecting links (C) are used on the bottom.

3. If using turnbuckles, tighten the two turnbuckles (G) until the cables have little to no slack in them. Use a level to make sure the mount is level.

WARNING: IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN LEAD TO MOUNT FALLING CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT! DO NOT substitute hardware. Only use hardware provided or specified by manufacturer.

1. Make sure the height on the main assembly is at the lowest possible position.

2. Make sure the latching flags on the main assembly are in the “open” position.

3. Determine and mark the vertical center position between the Left side Upper and Lower mounting holes in your display.

4. Determine and mark the vertical center position between the Right side Upper and Lower mounting holes in your display.

5. Orient a vertical mounting bracket (MR) so that its mounting holes are on top and mounting slots are on the bottom.

6. Align the mounting holes/slots in the vertical mounting bracket (MR) with the upper and lower mounting holes in the display.

7. Adjust the vertical mounting bracket (MR) position until the mark you made in Step 3 aligns with the center mark in the vertical mounting bracket.

8. Select the correct screws, nesting spacers (if necessary), and universal washers (if required) from the hardware bags (MA-ML) and attach the brackets to the back of the screen. IMPORTANT: The M8 screws do NOT require a washer. Use the universal washer (MMB) only with M4, M5 and M6 screws.

9. If the display has a recessed mounting surface, protrusions or a power box, a spacer and longer mounting hardware must be placed between the display and vertical mounting bracket (MR).

10. Repeat Steps 5 through 8 for the Right side vertical mounting bracket using the same hole locations to align brackets horizontally.

The nesting spacers (MMA) may be used separately or put two together in different configurations to create different size spacers. The configurations are:

• Single: 0.375″ [9.5 mm]

• Nested: 0.563″ [14.3 mm]

• Stacked: 0.750″ [19.1 mm]

If the display has a recessed mounting surface, protrusions, or a power box, a spacer and longer mounting hardware must be placed between the display and the vertical mounting bracket (MR).

1. Determine and mark the horizontal center position between the Left and Right TOP mounting holes in the display.

2. Determine and mark the horizontal center position between the Left and Right BOTTOM mounting holes in the display.

3. Orient the upper horizontal mounting bracket (MQ) so that its flanges are facing towards the display and resting in the recessed area of the left and right vertical mounting brackets (MR).

4. Adjust the Upper horizontal mounting bracket (MQ) position until its center diamond aligns with the mark made in Step 1, and the mounting holes and slots in the horizontal bracket align with the threaded holes in the mounting tabs of the vertical brackets.

5. Use the 1/8″ hex key (MP) to secure the upper horizontal mounting bracket (MQ) to the left and right vertical brackets (MR) using four button head flanged screws (MN). Whenever possible, install mounting screws diagonally.

6. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for the lower horizontal mounting bracket (MQ).

IMPORTANT: The orientation of, and mounting holes used, when installing the lower horizontal mounting bracket must be the same as the upper horizontal mounting bracket. Vertically align upper and lower brackets by aligning holes or the end of slots.

1. Lift the display onto the mount, carefully placing the mounting buttons on the horizontal brackets into the mounting locations on the faceplate of the main assembly.

2. Slide the locking plate over the mounting buttons to secure the display to the mount.

3. If you haven’t already, tighten the two turnbuckles until the cables are tight and the mount is level.

The LEGEND CHIEF FCS1U allows for up to 4 degrees of plumb adjustment. Follow these steps:

1. Loosen the lower screws holding the brackets together.

2. Adjust the plumb (up to 4°) as necessary to ensure the display is perpendicular with the floor/ceiling.

3. Tighten the lower screws holding the brackets together when the desired plumb is reached.
