Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

This document describes the StarTech.com Desk Clamp Monitor Riser (MNRISERCLMP), a device designed to elevate a monitor for improved ergonomics and to free up desk space. The monitor riser is assembled from several components, including a monitor platform, legs, clamps, and thumb screws, all working together to provide a stable and secure elevated surface for a display.

Function Description

The primary function of the Desk Clamp Monitor Riser is to elevate a monitor to a more comfortable viewing height, which can help reduce strain on the neck and eyes. By clamping to the edge of a desk or surface, it also helps to reclaim valuable desk space that would otherwise be occupied by a monitor stand. The monitor platform serves as the main surface where the monitor rests, providing a stable base. The legs support the monitor platform, raising it to the desired height. The clamps are crucial for securing the entire monitor riser assembly to the edge of a desk or other suitable mounting surface, ensuring stability and preventing movement. The thumb screws are used in conjunction with the clamps to tighten the assembly firmly against the surface, providing a secure grip without the need for additional tools once the initial setup is complete.

Usage Features

The monitor riser is designed for straightforward assembly and installation, making it user-friendly. The assembly process begins by placing the monitor platform screw-hole side facing upwards on a flat, stable surface. This provides a secure base for attaching the other components. The clamp assemblies are then attached to the monitor platform. Each clamp assembly consists of legs and clamps. To attach them, the screw holes on the clamp assembly must be aligned with the mounting holes on the bottom of the monitor platform. It's important to ensure that the back of the clamp assembly is closest to the edge of the monitor platform during this alignment. Washers are placed over the screw holes on the clamp assembly before inserting screws through the washers and clamp assembly, and then into the monitor platform. An included hex key is used to tighten these screws, with a caution against over-tightening to prevent damage. This process is repeated for the second clamp assembly, ensuring both supports are securely fastened to the monitor platform.

Once the monitor riser is assembled, installing it on a desk is equally simple. The clamp assemblies are aligned with the edge of the surface where the monitor riser will be installed. The assemblies are then slid over the edge of the surface. The final step involves using the thumb screws to tighten the clamps until the entire assembly is pressed tightly against the surface. This clamping mechanism ensures that the monitor riser remains stable and secure during use, supporting the monitor without wobbling or shifting. The design allows for easy adjustment and repositioning if needed, by simply loosening the thumb screws, moving the riser, and then re-tightening them. The monitor riser is capable of supporting a single monitor, providing a dedicated elevated space for the display.

Maintenance Features

The document does not explicitly detail specific maintenance features for the monitor riser, but its robust construction and simple design suggest minimal maintenance requirements. The use of durable materials for the monitor platform, legs, and clamps implies a long lifespan under normal use. The tightening mechanism, involving screws and thumb screws, allows for periodic checks to ensure all connections remain secure. If any part feels loose over time, users can easily re-tighten the screws with the hex key or the thumb screws by hand. The product is backed by a five-year warranty, indicating the manufacturer's confidence in its durability and reliability. This warranty covers potential defects in materials and workmanship, offering peace of mind to the user. For any issues or questions, the user is directed to the StarTech.com support website, which provides access to manuals, FAQs, videos, drivers, downloads, and technical drawings, facilitating self-service troubleshooting and support. The design, being primarily metal and a solid platform, would likely only require occasional cleaning with a damp cloth to remove dust or smudges, ensuring it maintains its appearance and functionality over time. The absence of complex moving parts or electronic components means there are no intricate maintenance procedures or specialized tools required for upkeep.
