1a - Clamp Base Installation
1. Remove the 2x screws from the monitor arm base (3) with 4mm Allen key (E) and remove the plastic
cable holder - see Diagram ‘A’.
2. Remove the screws from the rear of the clamp plate (5) with 5mm Allen key and put to one side - see
Diagram ‘B’.
3. Add the clamp plate (5) to the monitor arm base (3) replacing the 2x screws from step 1 and using 2x
M6 bolts (C) and 4mm Allen key - see Diagram ‘C’.

4. To set the clamp to the correct height for your desktop/work-surface add the monitor base assembly to the
edge of your desk (use the front of your desk for now if it makes it easier) - see Diagram ‘D’. Take the clamp
section and wind out the knob fully. Position the clamp section (as in Diagram ‘B’) to the clamp plate and align
the holes. Once happy replace bolts from step ‘2’ with 5mm Allen key and tighten.
5. Add monitor base assembly to rear of desk and wind knob and fully tighten to the desktop/work-surface
- see Diagram ‘E’.
Please note: If you are mounting heavy screens on this monitor arm please evaluate what
desktop/work-surface you are mounting it to. (Example: Wooden surfaces like chipboard or MDF are
compressed high density boards and are less likely to cause marks or indentations. Natural wooden
surfaces are softer (not compressed) so you may consider adding protection.

1b - Through the Desk Installation
1. Locate and position where you want the monitor arm base to sit on your desktop/work-surface. 40mm
minimum is needed from the rear of the desk so the monitor arm base makes full contact with the
desktop/work-surface - see Diagram ‘F’.
2. Measure and mark out with a pencil where you want the hole and drill the hole using a 10mm drill bit.
Please note: If you are mounting heavy screens on this monitor arm please evaluate what
desktop/work-surface you are mounting it to. (Example: Wooden surfaces like chipboard or MDF
are compressed high density boards and are less likely to cause marks or indentations. Natural
wooden surfaces are softer (not compressed) so you may consider adding protection.

3. Fix the threaded bolt (D) to monitor arm base with 4x full turns - see Diagram ‘G’.
4. Pass the threaded bolt through the hole made in the previous step and add clamp plate (F) and butterfly

4 - Adding Cables to the Monitor Arms Cable Management
If you are using cables to connect your monitor to your PC please ensure you have enough cable
length to travel the distance between your equipment before installation.
1. Remove the bolt from the upper arm cable management tray using a Philips screwdriver and slide the tray
downwards from the notch to release it - see Diagram ‘M’.
2. Add cables as shown in Diagram ‘N’ ensuring there is enough slack to connect the cables to your monitor.
3. Replace the cable management tray into the notch and push it upwards. Locate the bolt into the screw
hole and tighten with a Philips screwdriver - see Diagram ‘O’.

5 - Mounting the Monitor
1. Check the monitors VESA by measuring the distance between the mounting holes on the back of the
screen - this is where bolts A or B will fit - see diagram ‘T’.
2. Screw 2 bolts into the top two holes on the back of the monitor using bolts A or B and tighten in 3 turns
leaving room between the bolt head and rear of screen for hanging the monitor - see Diagram ‘U’.
Please note: Recessed monitors may require a combination of bolts, washers and spacers.
3. Carefully lift monitor and hang onto the face plate.
4. Fit the bottom 2 bolts into the face plate and tighten all the bolts see Diagram ‘V’.

6 - Using Your Invision MX450 Ergonomic Monitor Arm
Setting the tension of the monitor arm to balance the weight of the monitor
Once fitted the screen may raise or lower depending on the monitors weight. From minimum
tension to maximum tension there are 22x full rotations. When adjusting make one full turn of the
Allen key and check by depressing the upper arm to see if the monitor is balanced evenly.
1. If the screen moves upwards of its own accord then adjust the tension using the 5mm Allen key (E) and
wind the set screw in the minus direction (clockwise).
2. If the screen moves downwards of its own accord then adjust the tension using the 5mm Allen key (E)
and wind the set screw in the plus direction (anti-clockwise).
Continue to adjust until the monitor weight feels equal to the tension of the monitor arm. It should
hold in place when positioning the monitor and not raise or lower of its own accord.
Diagram ‘W’
7 - Adjusting the Tilt Angle
The tilt can be set to your desired viewing angle by simply moving the screen backwards and forwards by
hand. If the screen moves freely you need to adjust the tension, follow the steps below.
1. To tighten the tilt adjustment use the 5mm Allen key (E) and turn the adjustment bolt in the plus direction
- see diagram ‘X’.
For heavier screens (9 - 12kg) the adjustment screw needs to be tightened to the maximum.
