2. Setup and Installation
2.1 Unpacking and Component Check
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts are present according to the included parts list in your product box.
2.2 Mounting Options
The PS1D Wave offers two primary mounting methods: C-Clamp and Grommet Mount. Both methods allow for installation entirely from above the desk surface.

C-Clamp Installation:
- Attach the C-clamp base to the bottom of the main pole.
- Position the clamp on the edge of your desk.
- Tighten the screw until the stand is securely fastened to the desk. Ensure the desk thickness is between 0.39 inches and 1.8 inches.
Grommet Mount Installation:
- Insert the grommet bolt through the desk's grommet hole.
- Attach the grommet base to the main pole.
- Secure the stand from underneath the desk using the provided nut. Ensure the desk thickness is between 0.39 inches and 1.6 inches.
2.3 Attaching Monitors
The monitor arm supports VESA mounting patterns of 75x75mm and 100x100mm.

3. Operating and Adjustments
The PS1D Wave monitor arm features a built-in spring tension mechanism for smooth and precise adjustments.

3.1 Tension Adjustment
Adjust the tension of the gas spring to match the weight of your monitors. This ensures the monitors stay in place after adjustment.
- To increase tension (for heavier monitors), turn the adjustment screw clockwise.
- To reduce tension (for lighter monitors), turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise.

3.2 Monitor Positioning
The arm allows for a wide range of motion to achieve your ideal viewing position:
- Height Adjustment: Move the arm up or down along the pole.
- Tilt: Adjust the monitor screen vertically (+45° to -45°).
- Swivel: Rotate the monitor horizontally (±90° at the VESA plate, ±180° at the arm joint).
- Rotation: Rotate the monitor from landscape to portrait orientation (±90°).

3.3 Cable Management
Utilize the integrated cable management clips to keep your desk tidy and cables organized.

4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Pixio PS1D Wave Dual Monitor Arm Stand, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the surface of the monitor arm. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by drying thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Periodic Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Gas Spring Adjustment: If your monitors feel too loose or too stiff, re-adjust the gas spring tension as described in Section 3.1.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Pixio PS1D Wave Dual Monitor Arm Stand, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
5.1 Monitor Does Not Stay in Position (Sags/Rises)
This is typically due to incorrect gas spring tension for the weight of your monitor.
- Solution: Adjust the gas spring tension. If the monitor sags, increase tension (turn clockwise). If it rises too easily, decrease tension (turn counter-clockwise). Refer to Section 3.1 for detailed instructions.
5.2 Stand Feels Unstable
An unstable stand can be caused by loose mounting or an unsuitable desk surface.
- Solution: Ensure the C-Clamp or Grommet mount is securely tightened to the desk. Verify that your desk surface is sturdy enough to support the weight of the stand and monitors.
5.3 Difficulty Attaching VESA Plate
Ensure you are using the correct VESA screw size and that the monitor's VESA holes are not obstructed.
- Solution: Double-check your monitor's VESA pattern (75x75mm or 100x100mm) and use the corresponding screws. Ensure no cables or obstructions are preventing the plate from sitting flush.
