Installation Guide

Step 1: Choose Your Mounting Option

The ErGear Dual Monitor Arm offers two installation methods: C-Clamp Mounting and Grommet Base Mounting. Select the option best suited for your desk.

C-Clamp Mounting:

This method is suitable for desks with a thickness between 0.39 inches and 2.56 inches. Secure the C-clamp to the edge of your desk, ensuring it is tight and stable.

Grommet Base Mounting:

This method is for desks with a pre-existing grommet hole or if you choose to drill one. It accommodates desk thicknesses between 0.39 inches and 2.95 inches. Insert the grommet bolt through the hole and secure it from underneath the desk.

Desk Compatibility Check:

Ensure your desk is compatible with the chosen mounting method. For C-clamp, verify sufficient contact surface width, height, and overall width. For both, a wooden desk is recommended, preferably without a crossbeam blocking the underside.

Step 2: Assemble the Monitor Arm

Connect the upper and lower arm segments. Ensure they click securely into place. The arms are designed for easy assembly.

Step 3: Attach VESA Plate to Monitor

The VESA plate is compatible with 75x75mm or 100x100mm patterns. Align the plate with the screw holes on the back of your monitor. Use the provided screws and spacers as needed to secure the plate firmly. If your monitor has a pre-installed stand or cover, remove it first.

Step 4: Mount Monitor to Arm

Once the VESA plate is attached to your monitor, carefully slide the monitor onto the arm's mounting head. The tool-free design allows for quick and secure attachment. Ensure the monitor is fully seated and stable.

Tension Adjustment

The monitor arm features a gas spring system that requires tension adjustment to match your monitor's weight. Use the provided Allen key to adjust the tension bolt located on the arm. Turn counterclockwise to increase tension (for heavier monitors) or clockwise to reduce tension (for lighter monitors).

Video: This video explains how to adjust the tension and tilt bolt on the monitor arm to ensure proper balance and prevent monitors from falling or rising unexpectedly.

Cable Management

Keep your workspace clean and organized with the integrated cable management system. The upgraded cable clips open easily without tools, allowing you to route your monitor and power cables neatly along the arm. This helps to reduce clutter and maintain a professional appearance.
