UNIVERSAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS

Read before using!

Read and follow all instructions and warnings before use. Save these instructions for future reference.

• Use this product only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the

manufacturer.

• This product contains small items that could be a choking hazard if swallowed. Keep away from

children.

• Make sure the desk or mounting surface can support the combined weight of the mount and the

screens.

• Do not extend monitors behind the base.

• Never exceed the maximum load capacity.

• Minimum load capacity must be reached for each motion arm.

• Load capacity may vary depending on the type of installed monitor or accessory.

• There can be no more than two monitor arms in a monitor arm assembly.

• The motion arm is always the nal arm in a monitor arm assembly; there can be no xed arms after a

motion arm is used.

• Current Evolve congurations are limited to a maximum of six monitors.

• Hand tighten screws only. Do not use power tools.

• When connecting and routing monitor cables and power cords, make sure the cables and cords are

long enough to accommodate the full range of motion of the monitor arms.

• Check joint parts every two months to make sure the screws have not loosened.

• This product is only compatible with Fellowes Evolve monitor arm accessories.

• This product is intended for indoor use only.

IMPORTANT: When a monitor arm assembly consists of two individual monitor arms, a xed arm is always the rst

component attached to the single or dual stem.

Here are a few more model number examples:

Model numbers

The model number for each of the Evolve models communicates essential information about the product: how many

monitor arm assemblies, the specic type(s) of monitor arms in an assembly, and whether a VESA mount or slider mount is

used. Having an understanding of the model numbers helps you to visualize the installation.

Evolve Introduction

Evolve2–FMS

Evolve2-FMS indicates two monitor arm assemblies,

each consisting of a motion arm connected to a ﬁxed arm,

with a slider mount connected to the motion arms.

example:

number of monitor arm assemblies: 1, 2, or 3

type of monitor arm(s): F=ﬁxed and/or M=motion

S indicates slider mount; its absence indicates VESA mount

Evolve1–M

Evolve2–FS

Evolve3–FF

Evolve1-M indicates one monitor arm assembly consisting of a motion arm with a VESA mount connected to it.

Evolve2-FS indicates two monitor arm assemblies, each consisting of a ﬁxed arm with a slider mount connected to it.

Evolve3-FF indicates three monitor arm assemblies, consisting of two ﬁxed-ﬁxed arms with VESA mount, plus one VESA mount

connected to a single stem. When three monitors are used, the third arm is always a VESA mount connected to a single stem.

This is true even with Evolve3-FMS when the other two assemblies are topped with a slider mount.

Conguration pages

The congurations shown on the following

pages show the basic assembly of the major

components for each of the Evolve models.

The illustrations are designed to

assist you when following the detailed

assembly steps that begin on page 10.

Before beginning the assembly, always

refer to the conguration page for the model

number you are installing.

Assembly steps

The assembly steps beginning on page 10 show the details of component assembly and also cover intermediate steps.

These include procedures for applying a rubber pad to the pole base, attaching VESA plates to monitors, organizing cables

and power cords, and making adjustments.

The assembly steps are general instructions that can be applied to each of the specic models. For example, most of

the illustrations show VESA mounts. The same procedures apply to slider mounts, as well. Similarly, when a xed-motion

monitor arm assembly is shown, the same principles apply to xed-xed arm assemblies or to single arm assemblies. The

key is to refer to the conguration page for the specic model being installed.
