Safety Information
Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product and connected equipment:
- Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 44 lbs (20 kg) for the monitor arm.
- Ensure the desk surface is stable and strong enough to support the combined weight of the monitor arm and your monitor.
- Tighten all screws securely during installation. Loose connections can cause instability.
- Keep children and pets away from the installation area.
- Adjust the tension of the pneumatic spring carefully according to your monitor's weight to ensure smooth and stable movement.
- Avoid pinching cables during installation and adjustment. Utilize the integrated cable management features.

Setup and Installation
The ULTRARM MA20P-S offers two primary mounting options: C-clamp and Grommet mount. Choose the option best suited for your desk.
1. Choose Your Mounting Option
Image: A visual guide detailing the C-clamp and Grommet mounting options, along with their respective compatible desk thickness ranges.
- C-Clamp: Recommended for desk thickness from 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) to 3.3 inches (8.5 cm). Provides strong support without drilling.
- Grommet Mount: Recommended for desk thickness from 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) to 1.9 inches (4.8 cm). Requires a pre-drilled hole in your desk.
2. Install the Base
Follow the instructions specific to your chosen mounting method to securely attach the base to your desk.
3. Attach the Monitor Arm
Slide the monitor arm assembly onto the pole of the installed base. Ensure it is seated firmly.
4. Attach the VESA Plate to Your Monitor
Align the VESA plate with the mounting holes on the back of your monitor (75x75mm or 100x100mm). Use the appropriate M4 or M5 screws provided. For Samsung G9 monitors, use the VESA adapter that came with your monitor.
5. Mount the Monitor to the Arm
Carefully slide the monitor (with the attached VESA plate) onto the quick-release mechanism of the monitor arm until it clicks into place. Ensure it is securely locked.
Operation and Adjustment
The ULTRARM MA20P-S monitor arm offers extensive adjustability for optimal viewing comfort.
Pneumatic Spring Tension Adjustment
The built-in pneumatic spring allows for smooth height adjustment. If your monitor drifts up or down, or is difficult to move, adjust the spring tension using the provided hex key. Turn clockwise to increase tension for heavier monitors, and counter-clockwise to decrease tension for lighter monitors.

Movement Capabilities

- Height Adjustment: Smoothly raise or lower your monitor within a 13-inch range using the pneumatic spring. Total lifting range from 0 to 27 inches (0-69 cm).
- Tilt: Adjust the screen tilt from +25 to -25 degrees to reduce glare and optimize viewing angles.
- Swivel: Swivel the monitor 180 degrees left or right.
- Rotation: Rotate the monitor 360 degrees for portrait or landscape orientation.
- Extension: Extend or retract the arm to adjust the distance of the monitor from your eyes, with an extension range of 3 to 25 inches (7-64 cm).
Modular Extension Capabilities
The ULTRARM MA20P-S is designed with modularity in mind, allowing you to expand your setup from a single monitor to a dual or triple monitor configuration by adding extension arms (sold separately).

- Dual Monitor Setup: Combine the MA20P-S with one MA20P-A extension arm to mount two ultrawide monitors (up to 49 inches each) in a stacked configuration.
- Triple Monitor Setup: Combine the MA20P-S with two MA20P-A extension arms to mount two stacked monitors and one sideways monitor.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your monitor arm:
- Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight.
- Clean the arm with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Do not lubricate the pneumatic spring mechanism unless specifically instructed by ULTRARM support.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor drifts down or won't stay up. | Pneumatic spring tension is too low for monitor weight. | Increase spring tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise with the hex key. |
| Monitor is difficult to push down. | Pneumatic spring tension is too high for monitor weight. | Decrease spring tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise with the hex key. |
| Arm feels wobbly or unstable. | Mounting screws are loose or desk is unstable. | Ensure all mounting screws (clamp or grommet) are securely tightened. Verify desk stability. |
| Monitor not securely attached to VESA plate. | VESA plate not fully engaged or screws loose. | Ensure the VESA plate is fully clicked into the quick-release mechanism. Tighten monitor mounting screws. |
