ACC-TV: How to Set Up & Use

Introduction

This article provides a complete guide to assembling and installing your Rockville ACC-TV universal TV mounting bracket. The ACC-TV allows you to securely mount a TV onto any standard 35mm stand (such as a speaker stand or lighting truss), making it ideal for DJs, live events, presentations, and trade shows.

The process is simple and requires no prior technical experience. All necessary hardware is included in the box, and the only tool you will need (an Allen key) is also provided.

What is included:

• TV mounting plate
• Mounting plate hardware
• Tightening knob for the plate
• Extension arms (for larger TVs)
• Additional hardware for any type of TV (including M6 spacers and M8 screws)
• Allen key

Step-by-Step Instructions

Section 1: Assembling the Mounting Plate with Extension Arms

Use this method for larger TVs that require the extension arms to reach the VESA mounting holes on the back of the TV.

Step 1: Gather your mounting plate, extension arms, and the included mount hardware.

Step 2: Look at the back of your TV and identify the VESA mounting hole pattern. Then choose the holes on the mounting plate and arms that best line up with your TV's pattern.

Step 3: Run the screws through the holes of the extension arms and through the corresponding holes on the mounting plate.

Step 4: On the other side, line up two washers over the screw threads.

Step 5: Use the included Allen key to tighten the arms securely to the plate.

Step 6: Repeat this process for the remaining arms until all are attached to the plate.

Step 7: Lastly, screw on the tightening knob to the center hole on the bottom of the plate. This knob will be used later to lock the mount onto your stand.

Section 2: Attaching the Mount to Your TV (With Extension Arms)

Step 8: With the plate fully assembled, you can now attach it to your TV. For this step, you will also use the included M6 spacers and M8 screws.

Step 9: Line up the M6 spacers to the mounting holes on the back of your TV. The spacers ensure the plate sits flush and clears any raised surfaces on the TV's back panel.

Step 10: Then line up your assembled TV mount (plate with arms) over the spacers.

Step 11: Line up and secure the M8 screws through the arms, spacers, and into the TV's mounting holes. Tighten them firmly.

Step 12: Your TV is now ready for mounting on a stand.

Section 3: Mounting Smaller TVs Without Extension Arms

For smaller TVs with closely spaced VESA holes, you can mount the plate directly without using the extension arms.

Step 13: Line up the mounting plate directly to the back of your TV, positioning it where the holes line up with the TV's VESA pattern.

Step 14: Line up the screws and tighten them to secure the plate directly to the TV.

Section 4: Mounting Your TV on a Stand

Step 15: Grab any standard 35mm stand (such as a speaker tripod stand or lighting stand).

Step 16: Place the mount's center hole over the top of the 35mm stand pole, sliding the TV and plate assembly onto the stand.

Step 17: Secure the tightening knob by twisting it until snug. This locks the TV mount firmly in place on the stand and prevents any movement or rotation.

Step 18: You are all set. Your TV is now securely mounted and ready for use.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: The extension arm holes do not line up with my TV's mounting holes.

A: The mounting plate and arms feature multiple hole positions to accommodate a wide range of VESA patterns. Try different hole combinations on both the plate and the arms until you find the alignment that matches your TV. Most TVs use standard VESA patterns (100x100, 200x200, 400x400, etc.).

Q: Do I need the spacers for every TV?

A: Not always. Spacers are included to accommodate TVs that have a recessed or uneven back panel. If your TV's back is flat and the screws reach the mounting holes without the spacers, you may not need them. However, using them is recommended for a secure fit.

Q: My TV is small. Do I still need the extension arms?

A: No. Smaller TVs with closely spaced VESA holes can be mounted using just the plate alone, without the extension arms. Simply line up the plate directly to the back of your TV and secure with screws.

Q: What size stand do I need?

A: The ACC-TV is designed to fit any standard 35mm diameter stand. This is the most common pole diameter for speaker stands and lighting stands used in DJ and live event applications.

Q: The TV wobbles on the stand.

A: Make sure the tightening knob is fully secured. If the TV still moves, check that all screws attaching the plate to the TV are tight and that the plate is seated properly on the stand pole.

Q: Can I use this mount outdoors?

A: The ACC-TV can be used outdoors for temporary events. However, ensure the stand is weighted or secured at the base to prevent tipping, especially in windy conditions.

Conclusion

Setting up your Rockville ACC-TV is a straightforward process. Assemble the plate with or without extension arms depending on your TV size, attach the plate to the back of your TV using the included hardware, and slide it onto any 35mm stand. The tightening knob keeps everything locked and secure.
