Ready… set… get installing!

Step 1: Attach the interface to the TV

  1. Carefully place the wall mount Ⓐ with the attached interface, and the TV face down on a clean surface without any obstacles.
  1. Remove the thumbnut and detach the wall mount Ⓐ from the interface. Keep the thumbnut for later use.
  1. Check the mounting holes on the TV screen. Adjust the dimensions of the interface accordingly, after loosening the pre-attached bolts with the Allen key.
  2. Additionally, interface extension strips Ⓢ can be inserted into the top or bottom side of the vertical strips to increase the height of the interface. Make sure both interface extension strips Ⓢ are at the same height and do not stick out.
  1. Attach the interface to the TV screen with the bolts Ⓔ and spacers Ⓕ. Make sure the top side of the frame is positioned correctly, as indicated by the word ‘top’ on the interface.
  2. After adjusting the dimensions of the interface, make sure to tighten the pre-attached bolts with the Allen key.

Make sure bolts and spacers are positioned correctly.

Refer to the user manual of your TV for the correct mounting material.

 

Step 2: Attach the wall mount to the wall

How well do you know your walls? What they’re made of matters more than you think…

If you are mounting your TV screen onto a wall with wooden studs, please follow the instructions in the Wall with wooden studs section.

For this step you will need:

  • Drilling template Ⓩ
  • Drilling machine
  • 20 mm / 0.8” (⌀ 5 mm / ⌀ 13/64”) masonry drill bit (for predrilling)
  • 70 mm / 2.8” (⌀ 10 mm / ⌀ 25/64”) masonry drill bit
  • The contents of the wall mounting kit Ⓗ Ⓘ Ⓙ
  • Spirit level
  • Pencil
  1. Determine where to mount your TV screen.

    2. Use the drilling template Ⓩ to mark the correct position on the wall if you’re using the TVA 7000 cable column or if the connecting cables protrude from the wall. The drilling template Ⓩ can be found on the back of the inlay card provided in the package.

    In other situations, download and use our free DrillRight™ AR App to find the perfect mounting height and mark the first drilling hole. Always use the drilling template Ⓩ to mark the other drill holes.

  1. Drill the holes. Make sure to drill the positioning hole first.
  2. Put the plugs Ⓘ in the holes.

    3. How deep do you drill? Check the length of the screw (not the plug!) to find the right depth – this stops things from breaking.

    The cable hole should only be used to lead cables that come out of the wall through the wall mount. Do not use the cable hole to attach the wall mount to the wall.

  1. Attach the wall mount to the wall while making sure to:
    1. begin with the hole directly above the Vogel’s logo on the wall mount Ⓐ
    2. use the spirit level to level the wall mount
    3. attach the wall mount Ⓐ to the wall with the provided screws Ⓗ and washers Ⓙ

    Lubricate the screws for easy screwing in.

  1. Slide the upper wall plate cover Ⓚ onto the wall mount Ⓐ. To remove the cover plate, press the left tab and slide it off the wall mount.

If you are mounting your TV screen onto a concrete/brick wall, please follow the instructions in the Concrete/Brick wall section.

For this step you will need:

  • Drilling template Ⓩ
  • Drilling machine
  • 50 mm / 2” (⌀ 5 mm / ⌀ 13/64”) wood drill bit
  • The contents of the wall mounting kit Ⓗ Ⓙ
  • Spirit level
  • TVA 6950 Stud adapter (optional, available on www.vogels.com)
  • Stud finder
  • Pencil

Don’t just guess! The wall mount must always be attached to the studs. Always use a stud finder to determine the position of studs. Don’t destroy your belongings!

  1. Determine where to hang your TV screen.

    Use the drilling template Ⓩ to mark the correct position on the wall if you’re using the TVA 7000 cable column or if the connecting cables protrude from the wall. The drilling template Ⓩ can be found on the back of the inlay card provided in the package.

    In other situations, download and use our free DrillRight™ AR App to find the perfect mounting height and mark the first drilling hole. Always use the drilling template Ⓩ to mark the other drill holes.
  1. Now for the fun part… drilling the holes. Make sure to drill the positioning hole first.
  1. Attach the wall mount to the wall while making sure to:
    1. begin with the hole directly above the Vogel’s logo on the wall mount Ⓐ
    2. use the spirit level to level the wall mount
    3. attach the wall mount Ⓐ to the wall with the provided screws Ⓗ and washers Ⓙ

    Lubricate the screws for easy screwing in.

  1. Slide the upper wall plate cover Ⓚ onto the wall mount Ⓐ. To remove the cover plate, press the left tab and slide it off the wall mount.

If your wall is a little special – for example, hollow bricks, metal stud walls, wood panels or plasterboard – or you simply aren’t sure, don’t worry! Just ask your installer, specialist supplier or the Vogel’s Consumer Care team at www.vogels.com/contact.

 

Step 3: Attach the TV to the wall mount

  1. Carefully lift and attach the TV onto the interface bracket on the wall mount Ⓐ. Make sure the plug on the interface falls into the notch on the wall mount.

Lifting your TV is a two-person job. Don’t be bold!

  1. Secure the interface to the wall mount with the saved thumbnut from step 1.
  1. Level the wall mount and the TV screen. Use a spirit level and the Allen key to correct the position. Tighten the thumbnut and the thumb bolt with the Allen key when finished.

The wall mount and TV must be leveled vertically and horizontally before using the wall mount!

 

Step 4: Attach the cables to the wall mount

  1. Attach the cable sleeve Ⓣ to the wall mount Ⓐ, by sliding it into the holes on the bottom side of the right arm.
  2. Put the TV power cable and the other cables into the cable sleeve Ⓣ.
  3. Secure one end of the cable sleeve Ⓣ to the frame by using the velcro strip.
  1. Connect the power cable and the other cables to the TV. Make sure all other cables are neatly stowed away by using the vertical cable clip strips on the interface.
  1. Put the lower wall plate cover Ⓛ onto the wall mount and the interface cover Ⓨ onto the back of the interface.
  1. Connect the TV power cable to the power outlet.
  2. Your DesignMount is now ready to be used!

Removing your TV

  1. Remove all cables from your TV and interface.
  2. Remove the bottom thumbnut from the interface.
  3. Lift your TV off of the interface bracket, and put it down somewhere safe.

Again, lifting your TV is a two-person job. Always get help.

Problem

My wall screws have snapped!
