5. Setup

5.1 Pre-Installation Check

Confirm your monitor's size and weight are within the arm's specifications.
Check your monitor's VESA mounting pattern (75x75mm or 100x100mm).
Measure your desk thickness to ensure compatibility with the chosen mounting method.

5.2 Choose Your Mounting Method

The Ibergrif MA001W offers two installation options: C-clamp or through-hole mount.

5.2.1 C-Clamp Installation

Attach the C-clamp base to the main pole of the monitor arm.
Place the protective EVA pads on the clamp surfaces that will contact your desk.
Position the clamp on the edge of your desk (compatible with 10-65mm thickness).
Tighten the clamp screw until the arm is securely fastened to the desk. Do not overtighten.

5.2.2 Through-Hole Installation

If your desk has an existing grommet hole (10-60mm diameter), remove the grommet cover.
Assemble the through-hole base with the main pole.
Insert the pole through the desk hole.
From underneath the desk, secure the base plate and tighten the nut until the arm is firmly attached.

5.3 Attaching the Monitor

Carefully remove your monitor from its original stand and place it face down on a soft, clean surface.
Attach the VESA plate to the back of your monitor using the appropriate M4 or M5 screws and washers. Ensure a snug fit.
Slide the VESA plate with the attached monitor onto the arm's mounting head. Ensure it clicks into place or is secured with the provided locking mechanism.

5.4 Gas Spring Tension Adjustment

The gas spring is pre-set to medium tension. After mounting your monitor, you will need to adjust the tension to match your monitor's weight for optimal movement and stability.

Use the provided Allen wrench to access the tension adjustment screw on the arm.
If the monitor sags or drops, turn the screw clockwise (+) to increase tension.
If the monitor springs up or is difficult to push down, turn the screw counter-clockwise (-) to decrease tension.
Adjust gradually and test the arm's movement until the monitor stays at any desired height effortlessly.

5.5 Cable Management

Utilize the integrated cable management clips along the arm to route your monitor's power and video cables. This helps maintain a tidy workspace.

Height Adjustment: Gently push or pull the monitor up or down to your desired ergonomic height. The gas spring will hold it in place.
Tilt: Tilt the monitor screen up or down by up to ±65° to reduce glare and find your preferred viewing angle.
Swivel: Swivel the monitor left or right by up to ±70° for collaborative work or to adjust your viewing position.
Rotation: Rotate the monitor 360° to switch between landscape and portrait orientations.

7. Maintenance

Regularly check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
Clean the monitor arm with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Periodically check the gas spring tension and adjust if the monitor no longer holds its position correctly.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 Monitor Sags or Drops

Solution: The gas spring tension is too low for your monitor's weight. Increase the gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw clockwise (+) with the provided Allen wrench.

8.2 Monitor Springs Up or is Hard to Push Down

Solution: The gas spring tension is too high for your monitor's weight. Decrease the gas spring tension by turning the adjustment screw counter-clockwise (-) with the provided Allen wrench.

8.3 Arm is Loose on the Desk

Solution: Re-tighten the C-clamp or through-hole mounting screws. Ensure the desk surface is stable and the clamp/mount is properly seated.

8.4 Monitor Does Not Fit VESA Plate

Solution: Verify your monitor's VESA pattern is 75x75mm or 100x100mm. If it's different, your monitor is not compatible with this arm.
