Ergotron HX Wall Monitor Arm with VHD Pivot

Introduction

This manual provides instructions for the safe and effective installation and use of the Ergotron HX Wall Monitor Arm with VHD Pivot. Please read this manual carefully before proceeding with installation.

Safety Warnings

WARNING: Ensure that the wall structure is capable of supporting four times the total weight of mounted equipment. Mounting to wall surfaces that do not meet this criteria may result in an unstable, unsafe condition which could lead to personal injury and/or property damage. Consult a construction professional if you have any doubt about what this means in regard to your particular application.

CAUTION: Leave enough slack in cable to allow full range of motion. To avoid the potential to pinch cables, it is important to follow the cable routing instructions in this manual. Failure to follow these instructions may result in equipment damage or personal injury.

Stored Energy Hazard: The arm mechanism is under tension and will move up rapidly, on its own, as soon as attached equipment is removed. For this reason, DO NOT remove equipment unless the arm has been moved to the highest position! Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury and/or equipment damage!

Product Overview

The Ergotron HX Wall Monitor Arm with VHD Pivot is designed to provide a flexible and ergonomic mounting solution for monitors. It features Constant Force™ Technology for smooth and easy adjustments.

Installation

Tools Needed:

• Phillips screwdriver
• Drill
• Drill bits (e.g., 3/8" or 10mm for concrete)
• Level
• Stud finder (if mounting to wood studs)
• Pencil
• Tape measure

Mounting Location:

Determine the mounting location. Ensure the wall structure is suitable for supporting the weight of the monitor and arm. The mounting holes should be at least 3-1/8" (80mm) deep and located within solid concrete, not mortar or covering material.

Assembly Steps:

Follow the numbered diagrams in the manual for detailed assembly instructions. Key steps include:

1. Attaching the wall track and brackets.
2. Mounting the arm to the wall track.
3. Attaching the monitor to the arm.
4. Routing cables to allow full range of motion.

Ergonomic Workstation Setup

Mounting Height:

The recommended mounting height is for users between 5'1"-6'0" (154.9-182.8cm) when standing and 5'0"-6'4" (152-193cm) when sitting. Adjust the mounting height based on individual user heights. Ensure there is a 6" (152 mm) distance between the center of the monitor mounting holes and the top of the screen. Adjust accordingly if this distance differs.

Adjustments

Lift Strength Adjustment:

If the mounted weight is too heavy or the product does not stay up when raised, increase lift strength. If the mounted weight is too light or the product does not stay down when lowered, decrease lift strength. This may require up to 35 full 360° revolutions.

Tilt Adjustment:

Adjust the tilt for forward and backward movement. Be cautious not to overtighten screws.

Pan Adjustment:

Adjust the monitor pan for left and right movement.

Friction Adjustment:

If the product moves too easily, increase friction. If it is too difficult to move, decrease friction.

Weight Capacity

The weight capacity for this monitor arm is 28.7 - 37.5 lbs (13 - 17 kg). Ensure your display's weight falls within this range. Do not exceed the maximum listed weight capacity.
