Introduction
The ARMDUAL30 is a full-articulation monitor mount that lets you mount and display
your monitors in the setup that works best for you. The snap-and-release assembly
makes the ARMDUAL30 easy to assemble and customize. Customizing options
include assembling the mounting arms vertically or horizontally; using the dual
mount attachment or attaching the mounting arms directly to the pole; changing the
placement of the spring and swivel arms, and more.

There are four main tasks that you need to complete when you assemble the
ARMDUAL30: Attach the ARMDUAL30 to a desk or table, attach the monitor arms,
attach the monitors, and route the monitor cables.
Attach the ARMDUAL30 to a desk or table
By default, the ARMDUAL30 comes with the desk mount preassembled.
Convert the desk mount to a grommet mount
1. Turn the 2-in-1 desk mount (1) over so that the pole faces downwards. Use one of
the M3 Allen keys (3) to remove the four M5x14 mm hex screws that are holding the
base of the pole to the desk clamp (gure 1).

2. Use a Phillips screwdriver (not included) to remove the M3 Phillips screw from the
plate on the desk mount (gure 2).
3. Remove the plate, two washers, and the thumbscrew from the bottom of the desk
mount (gure 2).
4. Use a Phillips screwdriver (not included) to remove the four M6x12 mm screws that

Convert the grommet mount to a desk mount
By default, the ARMDUAL30 comes with the desk mount preassembled. If you
assemble the grommet mount and want to switch back to a desk mount, you will
need to use the screws and hardware that you removed when you converted the
ARMDUAL30 to a grommet mount.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver (not included) to insert four M6x12 mm screws into the
two halves of the desk mount (1) (gure 4).
Note: Depending on the height of the desk or table, use the top four holes or the
bottom four holes in the desk mount.

Attach the monitor arms
Set up the monitors side-by-side
Note: If you want to position your monitors side by side at exactly the same height, use
the dual mount to attach the monitor arms. Using the dual mount adds approximately
two inches of distance between the two monitors.
1. To loosen the tension of the cable manager (9), pull out the lever and turn the knob
counterclockwise (gure 12).

2. Slide one of the cable managers over the pole and move the cable manager to the
height that you want the monitor arms to be at.
3. Push the lever closed and turn the knob clockwise to tighten the cable manager
until it doesn’t move up or down on the pole.

Stack the monitors vertically
There are two ways that you can assemble the ARMDUAL30 so that the monitors are
positioned vertically:
• Attach the monitor arms without the dual mount.
• Use the dual mount to attach the monitor arms and assemble the spring arms
below the swivel arms.
Warning! Do not attach more than two monitor arms together. The ARMDUAL30 is
designed to only support two horizontal pieces (spring or swivel arms).
Attach the monitor arms without using the dual mount
1. To loosen the tension of the cable manager (9), pull out the lever and turn the knob
counterclockwise (gure 18).

Use the dual mount to attach the monitor arms
You can customize the ARMDUAL30 by changing the order in which you assemble
the monitor arms or by using just the swivel arms or the spring arms. You can also
assemble one set of monitor arms in one conguration and assemble the other set in a
dierent conguration.
1. To loosen the tension of the cable manager (9), pull out the lever and turn the knob
counterclockwise (gure 23).

Attach the monitors
If you’re positioning the monitors side-by-side, the maximum recommended size of
monitors that you can use is 30 inches.
Warning! Each of the spring arms has factory-set tension to support monitors that
weigh between 2.5 and 4.5 kg. If you attach a monitor that weighs less than 2.5 kg or
more than 4.5 kg, you will need to adjust the monitor mount.
1. If you attach a monitor that weighs less than 2.5 kg or more than 4.5 kg, do one of
the following:
• To decrease the weight capacity of the monitor mount, use the M6 Allen key (2)
and turn the screw in the spring arms (5) clockwise.
• To increase the weight capacity of the monitor mount, use the M6 Allen key (2)
and turn the screw in the spring arms (5) counterclockwise (gure 29).
Tip: The spring arms have positive and negative symbols next to the screw to remind
you which way to turn the M6 Allen key.
2. Insert four thumbscrews (8) through the holes on the VESA monitor mount (7) and
into the back of the monitor that you’re mounting (gure 30).
Warning! When you attach the monitor mounts to your monitors, make sure that you
don’t scratch the monitors in the process.

3. Repeat step 2 for any additional monitors that you’re attaching.
4. If the monitor doesn’t stay in place or the movement is sti, do one of the following:
• To increase the tension, use the M3 Allen key (3) to turn the screws in the monitor
mount clockwise (gure 31).
• To decrease the tension, use the M3 Allen key to turn the screws in the monitor
mount counterclockwise (gure 31).

Route the monitor cables
The ARMDUAL30 comes with a cable manager that you can use to direct the monitor
cables down the mounting arms and out of your working area.
Make sure that the cables that you’re routing are unplugged before you complete the
following steps.
1. Run the cable along the spring arm (5) and through the cable manager depression
on the underside of the spring arm (gure 32).
2. Thread the cable through the hole in the swivel arm (6) (gure 32).
3. Run the cable through the cable manager (9) on the side of the mounting pole
(gure 32).
4. Repeat the steps for any additional monitors that you attached to the ARMDUAL30.

Disassemble the ARMDUAL30
1. Remove the thumbscrews (8) from the back of the monitors and the monitor
mounts (7).

you remove the monitor. When you remove the weight of the monitor, the arm could
bounce upward and cause injury.

from you on each of the mounts and arms and lift them up (gure 33).
3. Pull the mounting arm and the dual mount (if used) free from the pole.
4. To loosen the tension of the cable manager (9), pull out the lever and turn the knob
counterclockwise, and remove the cable manager from the pole.
