WARNING:Ergotron'sWallMounted
9" Vertical Lift must be securely
attached to your wall. Because wall

Ergotron’s control, it is imperative
that you consult with appropriate
local engineering, architectural, or
construction personnel to ensure
that the 9" Vertical Lift is mounted
properly to handle applied loads.

WARNING: Follow these instructions to ensure that the Ergotron 9" Vertical Lift is mounted
according to standards established by OSHPD to handle applied loads. Failure to comply
with standards established by OSHPD may result in property damage and personal injury.
2Wall Anchorage Requirements
California OSHPD Anchorage Pre-approval Number OPA-0620
In compliance with standards established for the anchorage and installation of instrument support sys-
tems by the California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD), Ergotron, Inc. has
obtained pre-approval for two 9" Vertical Lift mounting methods. These mounting methods are limited to
use with the following components on the following types of walls:
a Light Gauge Metal Stud Walls (24 gauge minimum) - page 5
b Wood Stud Walls (#2 Him Fir, Douglas Fir or better) - page 6
The Engineer of Record must verify the wall design using the forces specified in CBC Section 1632A, using AP=2.5
and RP=3.0 for the forces due to the component, combined with the lateral force of the wall itself, computed using
the weight of the wall with AP=1.0 and RP=3.0. Most instrumentation weighs well below the maximum load
ratings. It is impractical to attempt to meet specific load requirements based on given weights of vari-
ous instruments and the potential for changing instruments. Consequently, all installations must meet
the maximum load ratings. The design of the wall studs is by the engineer of record. Inspection of the
anchorage by OSHPD is required prior to the installation of the mount system.
Compliance with these written instructions, beginning on page 5, is required for the installation of
the system.
Standard Anchorage - page 7
This manual also provides information on mounting Ergotron 9" Vertical Lift
in situations that do not require California OSHPD compliance.

VL Series Attachment
For VL Series to remain less than 4" (102 mm)* from the wall*
when in storage position, follow these guidelines:
1. Monitor must not be more than 2-1/2" (63 mm) thick.
2. Keyboard should not be more than 7-1/4" (184 mm) deep.
3. Dimension “A” must be no greater than 8-3/4" (222 mm).
4. Use Standard Keyboard Tray option only (Slide-Out Keyboard Tray
option depth ≥4-1/2", 114 mm).
* Exceptions:
If you want to install your keyboard in a forward position while remaining ≤
4" (102 mm) from the wall, “A” ≤7" (178 mm). See Figure 1.
If you want to use a keyboard wrist rest,
dimension “A” can be calculated by adding
3-1/2" (89 mm) to the keyboard depth “B” and subtracting this sum from
16-1/2" (419 mm).
See Figure 2.

After completion of installation steps, evaluate pivot function
for your specific installation. Ergotron‛s pivot joints are fac-
tory set to provide the proper pivot control and moving force for
the majority of users. If excessive force is required to adjust
your setup, or if your monitor or keyboard do not remain in the
desired position, pivot adjustment may be required. Instructions
for adjustment of the pivots can be found in the following pages.
