To adjust your Uplift monitor arm, specifically to control the supporting weight for your monitor, you will need to utilize the included tools and locate the adjustment points.
Adjusting Supporting Weight
The primary adjustment you'll make is ensuring the arm can properly hold the weight of your monitor. This is done by adjusting the tension in the gas arm.
Here’s how to do it:
- Locate the Set Screws: Look for the set screws located at the lower sections of the Gas arms. These are the adjustment points for the tension.
- Gather Your Tool: You will need the supplied 4mm Allen wrench. This tool fits into the set screws.
- Adjust the Tension: Turn the set screws with the 4mm Allen wrench in the appropriate direction to increase or decrease the supporting weight.
- Turning one way typically increases tension (for heavier monitors).
- Turning the other way decreases tension (for lighter monitors).
Practical Insight: If your monitor sags down, you need to increase the supporting weight by turning the screw in the "tighter" direction (often clockwise). If the arm springs up too easily or won't stay down, you need to decrease the supporting weight by turning the screw in the "looser" direction (often counter-clockwise). Make small adjustments and test the arm's movement until it holds your monitor's position smoothly.
Summary of Adjustment
Here’s a quick reference for adjusting the supporting weight:
| Action | Tool | Location | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turn set screws clockwise (typically) | Supplied 4mm Wrench | Lower sections of arms | Increase supporting weight (for heavier monitors) |
| Turn set screws counter-clockwise (typically) | Supplied 4mm Wrench | Lower sections of arms | Decrease supporting weight (for lighter monitors) |
By following these steps and using the provided 4mm Allen wrench, you can effectively adjust the supporting tension of your Uplift monitor arm to suit the weight of your display, ensuring smooth movement and stable positioning.
