how to install Chief M and P Series Monitor Arm Accessory

• Plan the mounting location and verify wall structure to ensure it can support the intended display size (30"–71") and weight. Confirm electrical supply paths align with local codes and the included RACO junction box, and prepare the wall area for in-wall installation.
• Turn off power to the circuit where the in-wall system will be installed. Remove any existing wall plates or hardware in the installation zone to expose the mounting cavity and ensure a clean, accessible workspace.
• Mount the PAC501 junction box within the wall cavity according to the installation instructions. Secure the box to framing where feasible, and route electrical cables through the junction box while maintaining minimum bend radii and cable protection as required by code.
• Route display cables through the PAC501 box and the in-wall channel as directed by Chief’s mounting guidelines. Ensure there is adequate slack for movement and adjustment of the M and P Series arm without snagging or excessive tension on any connection.
• Attach the M and P Series monitor arm assembly to the in-wall accessory following Chief’s compatibility guidance. Align mounting interfaces, tighten fasteners to the recommended torque, and verify that the arm moves smoothly within its range of motion without interference.
• Attach the display to the arm, connect necessary signal and power cables through the in-wall channel, and perform a full range-of-motion test. Fine-tune tilt, pan, and reach to achieve an ergonomic viewing position, then place covers or architectural plates to complete the clean wall installation.
• Power up the system, test for proper cable management, and confirm that all connections are secure. Verify post-installation stability and confirm that the display remains flush with surrounding surfaces while maintaining accessibility for future service.
