Setup and Installation

The Loctek Dual Monitor Mount offers two primary installation methods: C-Clamp and Grommet mount. Choose the method that best suits your desk and preferences.

Desk Requirements:

• Desk Thickness: Must be between 0.8 - 3.5 inches (20mm - 89mm).
• Grommet Hole Diameter (if applicable): Must be between 8.5mm - 70mm.

Installation Steps:

1. Choose Mounting Method: Decide between C-Clamp or Grommet installation based on your desk's design.
2. Secure the Base: Attach the mount base to your desk using the chosen method. Ensure it is tightened securely to prevent movement.
3. Attach Monitor Arms: Connect the gas spring arms to the central pole.
4. Mount Monitors: Secure your monitors to the VESA plates on each arm. Ensure all screws are properly tightened.
5. Adjust Gas Spring Tension: Adjust the gas spring tension to match the weight of your monitors. This ensures smooth and stable movement. Refer to the 'Operating and Adjustment' section for details.
6. Cable Management: Utilize the integrated cable management system to route and conceal cables for a tidy workspace.

Operating and Adjustment

The Loctek Dual Monitor Mount provides extensive flexibility for ergonomic positioning. Adjustments should be made carefully to achieve your desired setup.

• Full Motion Flexibility: Both arms can be easily adjusted to your preferred position.
• Rotation: Screens can rotate 360° for landscape or portrait orientation.
• Tilt: Adjust the tilt angle from 15° upwards to -85° downwards.
• Swivel: Each arm offers 180°+ swivel capability.
• Height and Extension: Adjust the monitor height and extension to optimize viewing angles and reduce strain.

Gas Spring Tension Adjustment:

The gas spring mechanism allows for smooth and effortless height adjustments. Proper tension adjustment is crucial for the stability of your monitors.

• If the monitor automatically rises, the gas spring pressure is too high. Decrease tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise ('-') with the provided wrench for several rounds until the monitor stays in a horizontal position.
• If the monitor automatically falls, the gas spring pressure is too low. Increase tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise ('+') with the provided wrench for several rounds until the monitor stays in a horizontal position.

Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the monitor arms and base with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Check Connections: Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Gas Spring Functionality: If the monitor's movement becomes stiff or too loose, re-adjust the gas spring tension as described in the 'Operating and Adjustment' section.

Troubleshooting

• Monitor Sags or Drifts: This indicates insufficient gas spring tension. Increase tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise ('+').
• Monitor Floats Upward: This indicates excessive gas spring tension. Decrease tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise ('-').
• Difficulty Moving Arms: Check if the pivot points are too tight. Loosen the relevant screws slightly to allow for smoother movement.
• Mount Feels Unstable: Ensure the C-Clamp or Grommet mount is securely fastened to the desk. Check desk thickness compatibility.
