Mounting your interactive flat panel

Perform these tasks before mounting your interactive flat panel:

• Review the environmental requirements in the interactive flat panel’s specifications (see Specifications).

• Save all product packaging so that it’s available if you need to transport the interactive flat panel. If the original packaging isn’t available, you can purchase new product packaging from your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where).

• Refer to local building codes to ensure the wall can support the weight of the interactive flat panel and mounting equipment.

  Model	Weight
  SPNL-4055	116 lb 13 oz (53 kg)
  SPNL-4065	153 lb (69.4 kg)
  SPNL-4070	173 lb. (78.4 kg
  SPNL-4075	189 lb (86 kg)
  SPNL-4084	238 lb (108 kg)

• Use a standard VESA mounting plate (not included) to mount the interactive flat panel on a wall.

  Model	Mounting plate
  SPNL-4055	600 mm × 400 mm
  SPNL-4065	600 mm × 400 mm
  SPNL-4070	800 mm × 400 mm
  SPNL-4075	1000 mm × 600 mm
  SPNL-4084	600 mm × 600 mm

• Use M8 screws to fasten the wall bracket.

  Caution 

  Do not over-tighten the screws.

  Model	Screw length	Fasten torque
  SPNL-4055	25 mm where the total wall mount bracket and washer thickness is less than 7 mm.	97.36–177.01 in-lb. (11–20 N·m)
  SPNL-4065	30 mm where the total wall mount bracket and washer thickness is less than 7 mm.	97.36–177.01 in-lb. (11–20 N·m)
  SPNL-4070	See the SMART Board 4000 series installation guide for more information	97.36–177.01 in-lb. (11–20 N·m)
  SPNL-4075	See the SMART Board 4000 series installation guide for more information.	97.36–177.01 in-lb. (11–20 N·m)
  SPNL-4084	See the SMART Board 4000 series installation guide for more information.	97.36–177.01 in-lb. (11–20 N·m)

• Because the receptacles might not be easily accessible after the installers mount the interactive flat panel, consider connecting cables for power, computers and other devices while the interactive flat panel is still in its packaging (see Connecting power and devices).

Consider the following when you select a location for the interactive flat panel:

• Choose a location for the interactive flat panel that’s far from bright light sources, such as windows and strong overhead lighting. IR lighting can cause issues with the performance of the cameras and can lead to unintentional or missed touches.

• The wall must be strong enough to support the interactive flat panel and the mounting equipment. See the table below for the weights of the various 4000 series interactive flat panel models:

  Model	Weight
  SMART Board 4055	116 lb (53 kg)
  SMART Board 4065	153 lb (69.4)
  SMART Board 4070	173 lb. (78.4 kg
  SMART Board 4075	189 lb (86 kg)
  SMART Board 4084	238 lb (108 kg)

• Select a wall with a flat, regular surface and sufficient clearance to accommodate your interactive flat panel. Mount the interactive flat panel in a location that’s central to your audience’s viewing direction.

For mobile or adjustable installation options, contact your authorized SMART reseller (smarttech.com/where).

Consider the general height of the user community when you choose the height for the interactive flat panel.

The flat panel height is based on the midpoint between the reach of the students and the teacher.
