Do you have a question about the Havis DS-DA-420 and is the answer not in the manual?

This document outlines the installation and configuration of a screen support system designed for the DS-PAN-1100 series docking station, specifically tailored to accommodate the CF-33 handstrap. The screen support's primary function is to provide stable support for the computer screen when it is docked, enhancing usability and ensuring the screen remains in a desired viewing position.

Function Description:

The screen support system is an accessory for the DS-PAN-1100 series docking station, designed to hold the computer screen securely in place. It features an adjustable arm that allows the user to set the screen to a desired viewing angle, optimizing ergonomics and visibility. The system integrates with the docking station, providing a stable platform for the screen, which is crucial for mobile computing environments where stability is paramount. The design also accounts for specific configurations, such as when the laptop being mounted has a handstrap, requiring minor adjustments to ensure proper fit and function.

Usage Features:

Installation with Docking Station: The installation process begins by attaching the screen support to the DS-PAN-1100 docking station. This involves removing existing screws from the LH side of the mounting bracket and then securing the screen support using two 1/4"-20 x 1/2" PHMS (Pan Head Machine Screws). These fasteners are torqued to 80 in-lbs ±10%, ensuring a robust connection. For hardware without a pre-applied thread-locking patch, a medium-strength (blue) thread-locking adhesive is recommended to prevent loosening over time.
Computer Docking: Once the screen support is installed, the computer is docked into the docking station. This action typically involves a secure mechanical connection that holds the computer firmly in place.
Display Latch Operation: The system includes a display latch, which is opened (as shown in Detail A) to allow the screen to be positioned. This latch plays a critical role in securing the screen once it is in the desired position.
Screen Positioning: After opening the display latch, the screen is opened until it meets a designated "stop bumper." This bumper helps guide the screen to an optimal initial position.
Securing the Screen: To secure the screen, the user presses slightly on the top-left corner of the screen while simultaneously closing the screen support latch over the side of the screen housing (as depicted in Detail B). This action locks the screen into its supported position.
Adjustable Viewing Angle: A key feature is the adjustable arm of the screen support. By pulling on the knob of the adjustment pin, the user can manipulate the arm to set the screen to any desired viewing angle. This flexibility allows for personalized ergonomic settings, reducing strain during prolonged use.
Screen Support Latch Position: It is important to note that the screen support latch should be in the OPEN position when the laptop screen is closed (Detail A). This ensures that the screen is not unduly stressed or damaged when the laptop is not in active use or is being stowed.

Maintenance Features:

Hardware Inspection: Regular inspection of the fasteners, particularly the 1/4"-20 x 1/2" PHMS, is recommended to ensure they remain torqued to 80 in-lbs ±10%. Over time, vibrations in a mobile environment can cause fasteners to loosen, potentially compromising the stability of the screen support.
Thread-Locking Adhesive: If any fasteners are removed or replaced, or if the original hardware did not come with a pre-applied thread-locking patch, applying a drop of medium-strength (blue) thread-locking adhesive is a crucial maintenance step. This helps prevent accidental loosening of the hardware, maintaining the integrity of the screen support.
Accommodating the CF-33 Handstrap: For laptops equipped with a CF-33 handstrap, specific configuration adjustments are necessary. This involves:
- Bumper Removal: Removing a rubber bumper from a designated location on the tab (as circled in the diagram). This modification ensures that the screen support can properly clear the handstrap.
- Fastener and Nylock Nut Adjustment: Using a Pin-In Torx T25 bit and a 3/8" socket, the fastener and Nylock nut are loosened. It is critical to keep all components together during this process to avoid loss.
- Washer Insertion: The fastener is then re-inserted through the screen support lever, followed by a washer (Hardware Item #2), then through the upper screen support arm, and finally into the Nylock nut. This specific layering is essential for proper function when a handstrap is present.
- Torque Specification: The fastener is then torqued to 8.0 in-lbs. This ensures that the components are securely fastened while accommodating the additional thickness or geometry introduced by the handstrap.

These maintenance steps ensure that the screen support remains functional and secure, even when adapting to different laptop configurations like those with handstraps. The overall design emphasizes user safety and ease of use, with clear instructions for both initial setup and ongoing adjustments.
