Setup und Installation
Bevor Sie beginnen
- Verify Monitor Weight: Confirm your monitor's weight is between 14 to 30 lbs (6.4 to 13.6 kg). Monitors lighter than 14 lbs may not allow for proper downward adjustment due to the arm's tension design.
- Montagefläche identifizieren: The arm must be securely mounted to a sturdy vertical surface, such as a wood stud or concrete wall. Direct mounting to drywall without proper reinforcement is not recommended.
- Sammeln Sie Werkzeuge: Ensure you have the necessary tools: a level, screwdriver, socket wrench (for lag bolts), and an electric drill with a 3/16" pilot bit.
Schritt-für-Schritt-Installation
- Befestigen Sie die VESA-Platte am Monitor: Carefully place your monitor face down on a soft, protected surface. Attach the VESA mounting plate to the back of your monitor using the provided screws. The arm supports VESA patterns of 75x75mm, 100x100mm, 200x100mm, and 200x200mm.
- Mount Wall Base: Locate a suitable mounting point on a sturdy wall stud. Use a level to accurately mark the drilling points for the wall mount base. Drill pilot holes (3/16") and securely fasten the wall mount base using the provided lag bolts and washers.
- Attach Arm to Wall Base: With assistance, carefully lift the monitor with the attached arm assembly. Slide the arm onto the installed wall mount base. Secure it firmly using the small screws located at the bottom of the bracket.
- Kabelmanagement: Route all monitor cables (power, video, etc.) through the integrated cable management channels on the arm. This helps maintain a clean, organized, and professional appearance.

Fehlerbehebung
- Arm does not stay in position or drifts: The tension spring may require adjustment. If your monitor weighs less than the minimum recommended 14 lbs, the arm may not hold its lowest position effectively. Refer to the 'Operating Instructions' section for guidance on tension adjustment.
- Difficulty mounting to wall: Ensure you are mounting the arm to a structurally sound surface, such as a wood stud or concrete. Mounting directly to drywall without proper reinforcement is not advised and can lead to instability.
- Monitor does not fit VESA plate: Verify your monitor's VESA mounting pattern. If it is larger than 200x200mm, an optional VESA Bracket Adaptor Kit (Part Number: 97-759) may be required.
- Cables are messy or disorganized: Utilize the integrated cable management channels located along the arm to route and conceal all monitor cables, maintaining a neat and professional appearance.
