Disconnect and Remove the Monitor from EPAA Single Arm System
The monitor arm and its base components are reused when converting to a dual arm system. The rst step
in this process is removing the monitor from the monitor arm.
Remove Cable Covers
The cable covers on the underside of the monitor arm must be
removed before removing the monitor.
• Slightly pull apart the ends of the upper cable cover to
remove it from mounting holes on the monitor arm.
• Slide the lower cable cover up toward the
monitor to remove it. Do not attempt
to snap it off.
• Unplug the monitor cable and
power cord.
Remove Monitor
• Remove the bottom two screws securing the monitor to the VESA mount.
• While supporting the monitor, loosen but do not remove the top two screws.
• Lift off the monitor and place it face down on a soft, at surface.
NOTE: If the inner holes on the VESA mount were used to attach the monitor, after loosening the top two
screws, lift the monitor and pull the screws through the large part of the keyhole opening.

1. Turn the knob to loosen the clamp. Remove the base assembly from the worksurface.
2. Remove the clamp from the clamp L-bracket using the 5mm Allen key.
3. Peel the clamp pad from the base and L-bracket.
4. Remove the clamp L-bracket from the underside of the base using the 4mm Allen key.
Grommet Method
• Unscrew the grommet knob and remove the grommet bar.
• Remove the base assembly from the worksurface.

EPPA2-KIT MONITOR ARM INSTALLATION
Install the Monitor Arm and Other Components onto the Dual Arm Base Assembly
• At the top of the dual arm base assembly, place the top bushing onto the protruding rim. Then insert the
monitor arm that you removed from the single arm base assembly.
• From the bottom of the base assembly, install the bottom bushing. If necessary, tap it down so that the
monitor arm stem protrudes slightly from the bushing.
• Fit the shaft washer over the stem, aligning the at sides of the washer with the at sides of the stem.
• Fit the curved washer over the socket head screw with its outer curve against the screw head. The
concave side of the washer will be against the shaft washer.
• Use the 6mm Allen key to fasten the socket head screw into the monitor arm stem.
— Securely tighten the screw.
• Check that the monitor arm can rotate without difculty. If it cannot, check that you have installed all
re-used components correctly.

Clamp Method
With the clamp method, the clamp L-bracket, clamp, and clamp pad are assembled to the base.
1. Attach the clamp L-bracket to the underside of
the base. Use the three M6x12 at head screws
and the 4mm Allen key.
2. Peel the adhesive backing from the clamp pad
and attach the pad to the base and L-bracket.
3. Attach the clamp to the clamp L-bracket using
the two M6x10 socket cap screws and the
5mm Allen key. Then snap the plastic cap onto
the back of the L-bracket.
A. Attach the clamp to the top two holes if the
thickness of the worksurface is between 3/8"
(10mm) and 21 /8" (55mm).
B. Attach the clamp to the bottom two holes if
the thickness of the worksurface is between
21 /8" (55mm)and 31 /4" (85mm).
Install Base Assembly
• Clamp the base assembly to the worksurface in the desired position. Be sure to tighten the knob securely.
• Proceed to “Monitor Installation” on page 9.
Base Assembly Attachment Methods
Typically, you will use the same method to attach
the dual arm base that was used to attach the
single arm base.
• Clamp method. The base assembly is clamped to
a table or desk surface that is between 3/8" (10mm)
thick and 31 /4" (85mm) thick. See below.
• Grommet method. The base assembly is secured
through a grommet hole in the worksurface.
Surface thickness must be between 3/8" (10mm)
and 31 /4" (85mm). See page 8.

Grommet Method
This method can be used for worksurfaces that have a grommet hole in
an appropriate position. First, the grommet bolt and grommet mount plate
are assembled to the base. Then, with the base assembly placed over the
grommet hole, the grommet bar and grommet knob are used to secure
the base assembly in position.
1. With the countersunk holes on the bottom, insert the grommet bolt through
the top of the grommet mount plate. Attach the plate to the underside of
the base using the three M6x12 at head screws and the 4mm Allen key.
2. Peel the adhesive backing from the clamp pad and attach the pad to the
base and grommet mount plate.
Install Base Assembly
• Place the base assembly over the grommet hole, with the bolt centered.
• Place the grommet bar onto the grommet bolt and then screw on the grommet knob. Tighten the
grommet knob securely to hold the base assembly in position.
• Proceed to “Monitor Installation” on page 9.

MONITOR INSTALLATION EPPA2-KIT
Attach Monitors to VESA Mounts
There are two sets of four holes on each VESA mount. One set has holes 3.9" (100mm) apart, the other set
has holes 3" (75mm) apart. Use the set that matches the holes on the monitor.
• Place the monitor face down on a at surface.
• Attach D5 washers and M4x12 or M5x12 screws (depending on monitor hole size) to the top two holes on
the monitor. Leave 1 /8" to 3/16" (3mm to 5mm) of exposed threads between the washer and monitor.
— If using the inner holes on the VESA mount, do not use the washers. The screw heads without washers
will t through the large part of the keyhole openings.
• Hook the monitor onto the VESA mount, as shown.
• Install and tighten screws and washers into the bottom two holes. Then tighten the top two screws.
• Repeat for the second monitor.
Capture Monitor Cables and Power Cords
Cable covers on the underside of each monitor arm are used to neatly
organize the monitor cable and power cord.
Remove Cable Covers
• Slide the lower cable cover up toward the
monitor to remove it. Do not attempt to
snap it off.
• Pull apart slightly the upper and lower
ends of the other cable cover to
remove it from mounting holes
on the monitor arm.

Install Cable Covers
• Install the upper cable cover with the monitor cable and power cord
captured. Pull apart slightly the upper and lower ends of the cover to t
it over the mounting holes on the monitor arm.
• Then slide the lower cable cover onto the monitor arm with the cable
and cord captured.
• Repeat these cable management procedures for the second
monitor arm.
Monitor Arm Adjustments
There are two possible adjustments, both of which are made using the 6mm Allen key.
1. Monitor weight adjustment.
— If the monitor arm is difcult to raise or drifts lower, increase the weight adjustment. Turn the hex nut
counterclockwise.
— If the monitor arm is difcult to lower or drifts higher, decrease the weight adjustment. Turn the hex nut
clockwise.
— After completing the adjustment, the monitor arm should raise and lower easily, and maintain its
position.
2. Monitor tilt adjustment.
— Loosen the nut to make tilting the monitor easier or tighten the nut to hold the tilt position more
securely.
