Frequently Asked Questions - FCAXV1U Chief

What is the maximum weight capacity of the FCAXV1U?

The maximum weight capacity depends on the mounting substrate. For wood stud or concrete walls with the XTM1U, it is 250 lbs (113.4 kg). For steel stud walls with the XSM1U, it is 200 lbs (90.7 kg). Always refer to Table 1 in the manual.

Which mounting systems are compatible with the FCAXV1U?

The FCAXV1U is designed for use with the Chief XTM1U and XSM1U mounting systems. These are not included.

Can I install the FCAXV1U on a concrete wall?

Yes, the FCAXV1U can be installed on concrete or concrete block walls using the provided Fischer UX10x60R anchors and 5/16 x 2-1/2" flanged lag bolts. Follow the 'Installing to a Concrete/Concrete Block Wall' section.

What tools are required for installation?

You will need a level, drill, 7/32" (5.5mm) drill bit for wood studs, 3/8" (9.5mm) bit for concrete, and a Phillips screwdriver. For steel studs, a 1/2" bit and Toggler kit are required.

How do I adjust the plumb of the mount after installation?

Turn the adjustment nut on the FCAXV1U to adjust plumb. Carefully adjust evenly on both sides to avoid stress on the screen. The range is up to approximately 5°.

Is the FCAXV1U suitable for outdoor use?

No, the FCAXV1U is intended for indoor use only. Using it outdoors could lead to damage or safety hazards.

What should I do if the mount does not sit flush against the wall?

Loosen the retainer latch (turn clockwise), pull the mount out, then push it back against the wall. Tighten the latch by turning counterclockwise without over-tightening.

Can I use the FCAXV1U with a plywood-backed steel stud wall?

Yes, but the wall must have a minimum 3/4" plywood and 5/8" maximum drywall. Follow the 'Installing to a Wood Stud Wall' instructions; studs are not required for this type.

How do I clean or maintain the FCAXV1U?

Periodically check that all fasteners are tight. Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Ensure moving parts are free of debris.

What is the retainer latch for?

The retainer latch holds the FCAXV1U brackets in the retracted (closed) position. Turn it counterclockwise to tighten and clockwise to loosen for pulling the mount out.
