There are two ways to attach the Moontower Six Monitor Arm to your desktop. If you would like to attach it along the back edge of your desktop, follow the Clamp Method instructions on this page. If you prefer to attach it through your desktop, follow the Bolt-Through Method instructions starting.
Step 1
Determine your mounting method. There are two ways to attach the Moontower Six
Monitor Arm to your desktop:
Clamp Method: If you would like to attach the monitor arm along the back edge
of your desktop, follow the Clamp Method instructions (Steps 2 – 3).
Bolt-Through Method: If you prefer to attach the monitor arm through your
desktop, skip Steps 2 – 3 and follow the Bolt-Through Method instructions
(Steps 4 – 7).
Clamp Method
Step 2 (Clamp Method)
Note: An Adhesive Pad may already be attached to your Clamp Mount base.
If so, proceed to Step 3. Peel the adhesive backing off of the Adhesive Pad
and attach it to the bottom of the Clamp Mount as shown. Align the Pad with
the front edge of the Clamp Mount base first, then work to the back.
Step 3 (Clamp Method)
A. Slide the Clamp Mount onto the back of the desktop, then tighten the bolt
of the clamp onto your desktop using the knob.
B. If you chose the Clamp Method for mounting, please skip the Bolt-Through
Method (Steps 4-7) and proceed with Step 8.
Bolt-Through Method
Step 4 (Bolt-Through Method)
Ensure the desktop has a hole between 0.4’’ and 3.1’’ in diameter to use this
option. Using a grommet hole that is already in your desktop is acceptable, or
you can drill a 0.5” hole anywhere on your desktop.
Step 5 (Bolt-Through Method)
A. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the oval clamping plate from the
top of the Bolt on the Clamp Mount.
B. Remove the Bolt from the Clamp Mount.
Step 6 (Bolt-Through Method)
Peel the adhesive backing off of the Adhesive Pad and attach it to the bottom
of the Bolt-Through Mount as shown. Center the Pad within the circular edge of
the Bolt-Through Mount and press to adhere it.
Step 7 (Bolt-Through Method)
A. Slide the Bolt-Through Plate onto the Bolt from Step 5 B.
B. Insert the Bolt through the hole in the desk from below and align it with
the threaded hole in the bottom of the Bolt-Through Mount.
Make sure the two set screw holes in the cylinder of the Bolt-Through Mount
are facing the back of the desk and one of the three holes on the flat part is
pointing toward the front of the desk so the Base Cover will be straight when
it is attached later.
C. Hand tighten the Bolt until the Bolt-Through Mount is secure.
Arm Assembly & Monitor Mounting
Step 8
A. Using the 3mm Allen Wrench, loosen the set screws around the cylinder on
the Clamp Mount or BoltThrough Mount (Clamp Mount shown) so that they do not
obstruct the threads inside the cylinder.
B. Thread the Pole clockwise into the cylinder and turn until it is tight and
stops turning. Then re-tighten the set screws to secure the Pole in place.
Step 9
Slide the Base Cover over the Pole and snap it into place on the Mount so that
the three pegs inside the Base Cover fit into the three holes in the Mount.
Step 10
Slide the Cable Clip around the top of the Pole.
Step 11
A. Slide the first Wide Dual Arm onto the Pole to the approximate height you
want and tighten using the 5mm Allen wrench.
B. Slide the first Center Arm onto the Pole and tighten with the 5mm Allen
wrench.
C. Repeat Steps 10 and 11 with the remaining Cable Clips and Arms.
You can adjust the heights as needed after your monitors are attached. May
require two people to adjust when monitors are attached.
Step 12
Clip one Arm Wire Clip on each Wide Dual Arm segment.
Step 13
Reminder: Maximum monitor weight per monitor for the Moontower Six
Monitor Arm is 14.3 lb.
A. Lay your monitor face down on a clean surface or a towel to prevent damage
to your screen.
B. Test the M4x12 and M5x12 Screws in your monitor’s screw holes to determine
which is the right size for your monitor.
Step 14
Determine whether your monitors have a 100 mm VESA pattern, or a 75 mm VESA
pattern. Each pattern attaches in a different way to the Moontower Six Monitor
Arm.
100 mm VESA pattern: If the holes are 100 mm apart (just under 4”) from each
other, proceed to Step 15.
75 mm VESA pattern: If the holes are 75 mm apart from each other (just under
3”), skip Step 15 and proceed to Step 16.
Step 15 (100 mm VESA pattern)
A. Take two of the Screws from Step 13 and two Washers and thread them into
the top two holes of your monitor leaving about a 1/8’’ gap between the Washer
and the back of your monitor.
B. Hold the monitor against the VESA Plate and slide the two screws into the
slots at the top of the VESA Plate. Make sure the VESA Plate is between the
Washers and the monitor.
C. Before tightening the top Screws, start two more Screws and Washers through
the lower holes of the VESA Plate and into the back of the monitor.
Be careful to not dislodge the monitor from the top two Screws while inserting
the lower Screws!
D. Once all four Screws are started, tighten them all with a Phillips
screwdriver to secure the monitor in place.
E. Repeat this step with the other monitors then skip Step 16 and proceed to
Step 17.
Step 16 (75 mm VESA pattern)
A. Have a friend hold the monitor up to the VESA Plate and start four Screws
from Step 13 and four Washers through the VESA holes and into the back of the
monitor.
B. Then tighten all four Screws with a Phillips screwdriver to secure the
monitor in place.
C. Repeat this step with the other monitors.
Monitor Height Adjustment
Use a 5mm Allen wrench to turn the screw behind the outside four VESA plates
to adjust the monitor height – turn clockwise to raise the monitor and
counter-clockwise to lower it. The center VESA mounts do not have this monitor
height adjustment feature.
CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
CAUTION: Read all instructions before assembly. Failure to assemble or
operate properly may result in damage or personal injury. Retain manual for
future reference.
Adjustment Information
Height
The Arms can be positioned anywhere along the height of the Pole to
accommodate your monitors’ sizes. Adjust the height of the Arms (see Step 11)
so that the tops of your lower monitors are roughly at eye level when you are
in your seated or standing working position.
Monitor Tilt
Use a 6mm Allen wrench to loosen the screw and nut behind the VESA mount to
tilt your monitor forward or backward within a range of 90° (+/-45°). Once in
the desired position, re-tighten the screw and nut to secure the monitor in
place.
Monitor Swivel
The outer monitors can swivel right and left within a range of 180° (+/-90°),
and the center monitor can swivel right and left a range of 90° (+/-45°),
provided the monitors don’t hit the assembly.
Monitor Rotation
The monitors can rotate at the VESA mount a full 360° allowing landscape or
portrait viewing, provided they don’t hit the monitor above or below it.
Middle Hinge Swivel
Each Arm has two middle hinges.
Each hinge can rotate right and left within a range of 340° (+/-170°) provided
the monitor doesn’t hit the rest of the assembly.
Post Hinge Swivel
The Arm hinge that is closest to the Pole can each swivel right or left within
a range of 180° (+/-90°), provided the arms don’t hit the rest of the
assembly.
Monitor Height Adjustment
Use a 5mm Allen wrench to turn the screw behind the outside four VESA plates
to adjust the monitor height – turn clockwise to raise the monitor and
counter-clockwise to lower it. The center VESA mounts do not have this monitor
height adjustment feature.
CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
CAUTION: Read all instructions before assembly. Failure to assemble or
operate properly may result in damage or personal injury. Retain manual for
future reference.
