Sanus has introduced its Inatall Tool Kit iPad application, available for download from the iTunes App Store.
The Tool Kit provides TV mount compatibility and installation assistance for professional audio/video installers to use on the job site while performing custom installations.
The Sanus Install Tool Kit features Sanus' MountFinder mount selection tool and HeightFinder installation assistant. With MountFinder, installers can find compatible mounts for more than 15,000 TVs from a list organised alphabetically by brand and model number.
Search results are categorised by mount type (full-motion, tilting, low-profile or specialty), and users are able to view complete details for each product, including features, specs and price.
Using the HeightFinder tool, installers can determine the drilling hole location for installing a mount. They may also change variable information as required for more customised installations simply by providing the desired height of a TV's top, centre or bottom as measured from the floor. From this information, HeightFinder provides diagrams for quick reference.
The app also features a "MyNotes" notepad where installers can create and save notes and then reference back to them to recall installation information. The Sanus Install Tool Kit also provides demo videos, allowing installers to show customers the many benefits of mounting a TV, and to show them which type of mount is appropriate for their application.
