Installation Considerations
Proper installation of your PlasmaView VHD will ensure the highest possible picture quality,
protect your investment and prevent personal injury. Whether you are installing the
PlasmaView VHD temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into account to
ensure that it performs optimally.
High-Altitude Operation
Due to inherent limitations of plasma technology, and the interaction between ambient air
pressure and the plasma gases contained inside of the panel, reliable operation of your
plasma display cannot be assured during operation at certain high-altitude locations.
Vidikron has found the VP-5000VHD and VP-6500VHD to operate reliably at altitudes of up to
7,800 feet MSL (mean sea level). The VP-5000VHDa and VP-6500VHDa have been found to
operate reliably at altitudes of up to 9,100 feet MSL.
At higher elevations, each panel may react differently, depending upon the altitude, air
pressure, humidity and other meteorological factors. If you are planning to use this product
at a location above 9000 feet, please contact Vidikron technical support for further
information.
Mounting the PlasmaView
VHD on a Wall or Table Stand
To install the PlasmaView VHD, you will need either an optional table stand or wall-mounting
kit. The PlasmaView VHD cannot be installed on its own.
If you do decide to wall-mount the PlasmaView VHD, ensure that the wall-mount bracket is
installed according to the instructions included with it. The wall must be capable of
supporting a redundant weight factor three (3) times the weight of the display, or be
reinforced.
Vidikron recommends that this be done by a custom installation specialist.
You can attach your optional mounts or stand to the PlasmaView VHD in either of two ways:
• While it is upright.

Use only a Vidikron-approved wall-mount kit or table stand that is
specifically designed for your display; refer to Parts List on page 4 for
more information.
