Depending on the weight of the display, it may be
necessary to make adjustments to the Ball Joint
Mechanism. If the display doesn’t hold its position
or is too resistant, adjust the four tension screws
located around the Ball Joint (see diagram) using
the supplied 2.5mm Allen Key.
Check the display, and then adjust again if
necessary.
NOTE: Be sure to adjust screws evenly.

It is possible to control the amount of resistance
in the Pivot Head to suit your display.
To increase the resistance of the Pivot Head to
suit heavier displays, use the 5mm Allen Key
supplied in the Desk Clamp Box to tighten the
interscrew in a clockwise direction.
To decrease the resistance of the Pivot Head to
suit lighter displays, loosen the interscrew in an
anti-clockwise direction.
NOTE: It is recommended the Pivot
Head be left at the factory setting for
best performance.

Adjusting Display
Due to continuing product development, the manufacturer
reserves the right to alter specifications without notice.
Ergonomic Guidelines
Ergonomists recommend that the optimal position of your screen should be slightly below eye level.
When looking at the screen’s centre the user should have a downward visual angle of approx. 10°-20°.
As a guide, the height (h) of your display should be approximately as follows:
Tall Male (Max): 560mm (22”) Tall Female (Max): 520mm (201/2”)
Short Male (Min): 368mm (141/2”) Short Female (Min): 356mm (14”)
For visual comfort, a viewing distance (d) between 500mm (20”) to 750mm (291/2”) is recommended.
Angular adjustments to reduce reflection on your display should range between 5° forward tilt to 15°
backward tilt.

If undesired tilt or pan occurs at any stage, this means the factory settings on your Articulated Wall
Arm requires adjustment. Please refer to adjustment details overleaf.

Your Articulated Wall Arm should already be preset to accommodate the average
size/weight of a display. To adjust the position of your display for visual comfort,
simply hold both sides of the display and adjust to desired position.
