How to Install a Humanscale Monitor Arm

Installing a Humanscale monitor arm is a straightforward process that can improve your ergonomic comfort and productivity. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

Gather the Necessary Tools

Before you begin, make sure you have the following tools on hand:

Phillips head screwdriver
Allen wrench (provided with the monitor arm)
Level (optional)

Assemble the Monitor Arm

Start by assembling the monitor arm by following the instructions provided in the user manual.

Mount the Base to Your Desk

Determine the desired location for your monitor arm on your desk. Use the base plate as a template to mark the screw holes. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations, then use the provided screws to secure the base plate to your desk.

Attach the Pole to the Base

Insert the pole into the base and tighten the screw at the base to secure it. Ensure that the pole is vertical by using a level if necessary.

Attach the Monitor Mount to the Pole

Position the monitor mount on top of the pole and secure it using the Allen wrench provided. Adjust the tension of the mount by turning the tension knob until the monitor moves smoothly but stays in place when you release it.

Install the Monitor onto the Mount

Most Humanscale monitor arms use a VESA mount, which is the industry standard for attaching monitors to arms and stands. Align your monitor's VESA mounting holes with the holes on the monitor mount and secure it using the provided screws.

Adjust the Monitor Position

Once your monitor is installed, you can adjust its position to achieve optimal ergonomic comfort. The Humanscale monitor arm allows you to adjust the height, tilt, swivel, and depth of your monitor to find the ideal viewing angle for your specific workstation.

Tips

Use a torque wrench to ensure screws are tightened according to the manufacturer's specifications.
Place the monitor arm in a location that minimizes glare and reflections.
Refer to the user manual for specific instructions and safety guidelines.
