Setup and Installation
The 5Rcom Single Monitor Arm supports two installation methods: C-Clamp and Grommet Mount. Choose the method suitable for your desk.
1. Choose Your Mounting Method

- C-Clamp Installation: Ideal for desks with an edge. Compatible with desk thickness from 0.39" to 2.76" (10mm to 70mm).
- Grommet Mount Installation: Requires a pre-drilled hole in your desk. Compatible with desk thickness from 0.39" to 2.76" (10mm to 70mm) and hole diameter from 0.39" to 1.77" (10mm to 45mm).
2. Attach the Desk Mount
Follow the instructions specific to your chosen method to securely attach the base to your desk.

3. Attach the VESA Plate to Your Monitor
Align the VESA plate with the mounting holes on the back of your monitor (75x75mm or 100x100mm patterns). Use the appropriate screws and spacers provided.
4. Mount the Monitor to the Arm
Carefully slide the VESA plate with the attached monitor onto the monitor arm's head. Ensure it clicks into place or is secured with the locking mechanism.
5. Adjust Gas Spring Tension
Use the provided hex key to adjust the gas spring tension. Turn clockwise to increase tension for heavier monitors, and counter-clockwise to decrease tension for lighter monitors. Adjust until the monitor stays at any desired height without drifting up or down. This step is crucial for proper function and safety.

Operating Instructions
Once installed, your 5Rcom monitor arm offers extensive adjustability for an ergonomic workspace.
Height Adjustment
Gently push or pull the monitor up or down to your desired eye level. The gas spring mechanism will hold it in place once the tension is correctly set.

Tilt, Swivel, and Rotation
The monitor arm allows for flexible positioning:
- Tilt: Adjust the monitor screen from -45° to +90° to reduce glare and optimize viewing angles.
- Swivel: Rotate the monitor arm +90° to -90° horizontally to share your screen or change viewing direction.
- Rotation: Rotate the VESA plate a full 360° (+180° to -180°) to switch between landscape and portrait modes.

- Periodically re-adjust the gas spring tension if you change monitors or notice the arm drifting.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor arm drifts up or down, or is difficult to adjust height. | Gas spring tension is not correctly set for the monitor's weight. | Adjust the gas spring tension using the provided hex key. Turn clockwise to increase tension for heavier monitors, counter-clockwise for lighter monitors. Ensure the monitor is mounted before adjusting. |
| Monitor is wobbly or unstable. | Mounting base is not securely tightened to the desk, or VESA plate is not secure. | Check and tighten all screws on the desk clamp/grommet mount and the VESA plate connection to the monitor arm. Ensure the desk is stable. |
| Monitor cannot rotate or tilt smoothly. | Joints may be too tight or obstructed. | Check for any obstructions. Some joints may have adjustment screws that can be slightly loosened if movement is too stiff. |
