The hook method employed with the ACTIVboard allows maximum flexibility for the many types of walls
found in office construction. If you feel that none of the suggested mounting instructions suit your
situation please consult the building plans or a reliable contractor for further assistance with your
installation.
Wall mounting
Before mounting the Whiteboard onto the wall a suitable position should be determined. Ideally
this should be a flat solid wall. Fixing to a wall other than a flat wall, may require the use of battens
or our alternative fixing brackets. Before starting any mounting it is essential that the brackets are
not fixed within 150mm of any electrical wiring or pipework either surface or embedded.
Mark the wall with a level mark at 950mm from the floor. Align mounting template with the line and
affix to wall using masking tape. Alternative mounting dimensions can be found on ACTIVboard
Wall/Stand Mount leaflet TP1332.
No plugs or screws are supplied for fixing the brackets as these can vary dramatically dependent
upon the nature of the wall. For a conventional solid flat wall drill through the hole markings on the
template with a masonry drill. Other types of wall may require different drill types. Remove
template and insert appropriate plugs. For other types of wall appropriate fixings will be required.
Screw on brackets as per instructions in ACTIVboard Wall/Stand Mount leaflet TP 1332. To fix
Whiteboard onto brackets it is best to do it with two people. Before lifting the Whiteboard into
position the interface cable should be clipped into place in the electronics pod on the rear of the
Whiteboard. Lift the Whiteboard up parallel with the wall and slightly tilt the board forward and rest
the bottom of the board on the bottom brackets. Extreme care should be taken to avoid the
Whiteboard falling off the brackets. Align the brackets on the rear of the Whiteboard with the wall
brackets and then lift the Whiteboard and allow the brackets to engage with one another. The
whiteboard should now slide down and the bottom should rest within the bottom brackets. Ensure
that the brackets are fully engaged.
