This document describes the Atdec Freestanding Dual Horizontal VFS-DH, an installation guide for a desk-mounted system designed to support two monitors side-by-side. The system is engineered for versatility and ease of use, allowing users to optimize their workspace with a clean and organized setup.

Function Description

The VFS-DH system provides a robust and flexible solution for mounting two monitors horizontally on a desk without the need for clamping or bolting to the work surface (though an optional bolt-through/grommet mount is available). Its primary function is to elevate monitors, freeing up valuable desk space and allowing for ergonomic positioning. The dual horizontal configuration is ideal for users who require an extended visual workspace, such as for multitasking, data analysis, or creative work. The system is designed to be freestanding, meaning it relies on a stable base to support the monitors, making it suitable for various desk types and configurations where permanent attachment might not be desired or possible.

Usage Features

The VFS-DH system offers a range of features designed to enhance user experience and provide flexibility in monitor positioning:

Freestanding Design: The core feature is its freestanding base, which allows for easy placement and repositioning on any desk surface without requiring drilling or clamping. This makes it highly adaptable to different office layouts and user preferences.
Dual Horizontal Monitor Support: The system is specifically designed to hold two monitors side-by-side on a single crossbar, providing a wide, continuous viewing area. This configuration is beneficial for productivity and immersive viewing experiences.
VESA Compatibility: The VESA plates are compatible with common VESA mounting hole configurations (75x75mm and 100x100mm), ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of monitors.
Adjustable Monitor Position:
- Horizontal Adjustment: Monitors can be slid horizontally along the crossbar to achieve the desired spacing and alignment. This allows users to center their monitors or adjust them to suit their viewing angle.
- Ball Joint Tension Adjustment: Each display head features a ball joint that allows for tilt, swivel, and rotation adjustments of the monitor. The tension of these ball joints can be adjusted, ensuring that monitors hold their position securely while still allowing for smooth movement when desired. This is crucial for preventing monitors from drooping or being too stiff to adjust.
- Height Adjustment: While the primary upright pole provides a fixed height, the design inherently allows for the monitors to be positioned at an optimal viewing height relative to the desk surface.
Cable Management System: The VFS-DH incorporates an integrated cable management system to keep cables tidy and out of sight. Cables can be routed through the cable slots in the crossbar and upright pole. The system includes cable balls and cable clips to secure cables along the pole, contributing to a clean and organized workspace. This feature helps prevent cable clutter, reduces the risk of snagging, and improves the overall aesthetic of the workstation.
Easy Installation and Adjustment: The installation process is designed to be straightforward, with clear instructions for attaching the upright pole to the base, mounting the crossbar, and securing the VESA plates to monitors. Adjustments, such as horizontal positioning and ball joint tension, are also made simple with the provided tools.
Security Screw (Optional): For added security, an optional security screw can be inserted into the display head after the monitor is attached, helping to prevent accidental dislodgement.
Optional Bolt-Through & Grommet Mount: For users who prefer a more permanent attachment or have specific desk configurations, an optional grommet clamp (AC-GC, sold separately) allows the mount to be bolted through a work surface or via a grommet hole.
Single Monitor Conversion: The system can be optionally converted to a single monitor mount. This flexibility allows users to adapt the setup if their needs change, providing long-term utility. The conversion process involves removing one display head and the crossbar, then reattaching a single display head directly to the upright pole.

Maintenance Features

The VFS-DH system is designed for minimal maintenance, focusing on durability and long-term performance:

Durable Construction: The components are made from robust materials, ensuring stability and longevity, even with frequent adjustments.
Adjustable Tension Points: The ability to adjust the tension of the ball joints and the display head's grip on the pole means that users can fine-tune the system over time to maintain optimal performance. If monitors start to sag or become too loose, a simple adjustment with the provided Allen keys can restore their stability.
Easy Cleaning: The smooth surfaces of the pole, crossbar, and base are easy to wipe clean, helping to maintain a professional appearance in the workspace.
Component-Based Design: The modular nature of the system means that individual components can be accessed and adjusted if needed, rather than requiring complex disassembly. For instance, the VESA plates are easily attached and detached from monitors, simplifying monitor upgrades or replacements.
Tool-Assisted Adjustments: Key adjustments, such as ball joint tension and crossbar tension, are made using standard Allen keys, which are included with the product. This ensures that users have the necessary tools for ongoing maintenance and adjustments.
