Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Will not hold height or tilt
- Note the total mounted weight against the arm's rating.
- Adjust the counterbalance and the joint friction per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Replace the spring or tension kit if adjustment does not hold.
- Route all cables inside the management channel.
- Cycle the full range and the fold-to-wall action and confirm it holds.
Symptom: Intermittent monitor/keyboard connection
- Fold and move the arm while watching the display.
- Open the cable channel and inspect for a pinched or chafed cable at the joints.
- Re-route and secure the cables.
- Replace a damaged cable.
- Confirm a stable connection through the full range of motion.
