Installation
Choose between Clamp Mounting or Grommet Mounting based on your desk setup:
- Clamp Mounting: Attach the clamp base (C) to the edge of your desk. Ensure the desk thickness is between 10mm and 85mm. Tighten the clamp securely using the provided hex key.
- Grommet Mounting: If your desk has a through-hole, use the grommet base plate (D). Ensure the desk thickness is between 10mm and 40mm. Secure the assembly through the hole using the provided bolt and plate.
- Pole Assembly: Attach the pole (F) to the base (C or D) using the provided screws.
Monitor Mounting
Follow these steps to attach your monitors:
- Attach the VESA plates (A) to the back of your monitors using the appropriate screws (M-A or M-B) and washers (M-C). Ensure the "TOP" indicator on the plate is facing upward.
- Slide the monitor with the VESA plate onto the arm assembly (B).
- Secure the monitor in place using the locking screw (L) and M3x8 screw (M).
- Use the cable management clips (H) to route your monitor cables along the arms and pole for a clean setup.
Adjustments
Once installed, you can adjust the position of your monitors:
- Tilt and Height: If the display does not stay in the desired position, use the 6mm hex key (O) to tighten the screws on the VESA mount joint.
- Rotation: The mount allows for screen rotation. Do not force the display beyond the indicated range to avoid tipping.
- Maintenance: Check all screws and connections at least every three months to ensure stability.
