The E5 Triple Dynamic Pole Monitor Arm is part of Innovative HAT's latest line of modular/configurable arms. The E5 monitor system is designed for those who want a particular configuration that can be later adapted or modified as requirements change, now or in the future.
The E5 Triple arm features robust construction for durability and employs a gas-cylinder lift mechanism for virtually effortless height adjustment with movement at three rotation joints. The pole mount allows for initial height adjustment of the two side arms and the central collar, while the two arms add further height and width adjustment for the outer monitors. The two arms themselves have a vertical adjustment range of 10.5", with 8" of width adjustment using the tilter's slider mechanism. Horizontal reach of the E5 Triple is up to 26.2" from the pole and the weight capacity is from 0 to 20.0 lbs per monitor. Mounting options include both desk clamp and grommet mount. | | Ergonomic Benefits |
|---|
Reduces the Risk of Neck Injury - A primary risk factor for injury in an office setting is an improperly positioned monitor. A good articulating monitor arm will help eliminate that problem by allowing height adjustment for the monitor relative to the surface on which the keyboard and mouse are situated. The E5 Triple provides 10.5" of vertical arm adjustment and 21.8" of horizontal adjustment, making it easier to adjust the monitor height to an optimal position. SPECIAL NOTE FOR THOSE WITH MULTIFOCAL OR PROGRESSIVE LENSES: As those with multifocal lenses rely on the lower portion of their glasses for "near" vision, they generally require the monitor to be positioned at a much lower height than those with no glasses or who only have single-vision lenses. Failing to address this will force them into an uncomfortable extension at the neck, as they tilt their head back in order to be able to view out of the lower portion of their corrective eyewear. Those with multifocal lenses may be able to position their monitors far enough away for best viewing at the intermediate range. Doing so can mitigate the neck extension as it may eliminate the need to tilt the head.
Optimizes the Viewing Angle - Monitors are best viewed when the screen is parallel to the face. The ideal angle of the monitor is not necessarily perpendicular to the desk in all cases, however, since some may feel more comfortable slightly tilting their head forward, especially when working in a standing position. Note: As the head tilts forward, there is typically increased weight and load placed on the muscles in the neck, and as such any flexion should be limited to no more than 10 degrees.
Facilitates Virtually Effortless Movement - The E5 Triple Dynamic Pole Monitor Arm uses a gas spring to counterbalance the effects of gravity, allowing individuals to adjust their monitors both up and down using their fingertips. This ease of adjustment (regardless of whether the monitor arm is fully extended or contracted) removes a potential obstacle for those who would otherwise be unwilling to adjust their monitor as needed. This technology is superior to mechanical spring mechanisms which cannot provide consistent linear counterbalance through the full range of the arm.
Increases Desktop Space - By elevating the monitor above the worksurface, previously inaccessible desktop space is made available for storage and other office accessories (phones, calculators, etc.).
Eliminates Glare - Adjusting the vertical and horizontal angle of the monitor will allow individuals to eliminate glare when viewing the monitor.
Helps Maintain Good Posture When Seated - When a monitor is too low or high, people may choose to adjust the position of their torso instead of, or in addition to, their neck in an attempt to accommodate incorrect monitor height. This will often result in adopting a leaning forward posture, shifting them out of the ideal posture in the spine, and losing any potential lumbar support that their chair provides. The correct monitor height may prevent this risk factor from arising.
Accommodates Working in Different Postures - Movement is important! When a worker changes their posture between standing, lean-into, sitting, or leaning back in their chair the optimal position for their monitor(s) will change accordingly. The wide range of movement which the E5 Triple Dynamic Pole Monitor Arm provides will accommodate these new parameters, enabling them to correctly position their monitors for optimal viewing from any chosen posture.
Allows Multiple Individuals to Share Information Easily - In some office environments workers need to share screen information with clients and/or co-workers, but this can be awkward or inconvenient when the monitor is on a stand and cannot easily be moved or oriented towards another person, even one sitting at the same desk. An articulating arm can easily solve this problem because the arm and monitor are easily pivoted to face even someone on the opposite side of a desk.

- Gas Spring: The gas cylinders completely counterbalances the weight of the monitor and arm, counteracting the effects of gravity and making height adjustment almost effortless.
- Vertical Range: The E5 Triple Dynamic Pole Monitor Arm offers a full 10.5" of vertical range which should accommodate the viewing needs of most workers. The bottom of a 23" diagonal monitor can be brought down to only about 1 - 1.5" off the mounting surface, while at maximum elevation the top of the same monitor would be about 24" above the mounting point.
- Horizontal Extension: The E5 Triple Dynamic Pole Monitor Arm provides up to 26.2" of lateral reach from the pole, allowing the two side monitors to be brought forward significantly.
- Top Down Mount: The E5 Triple base is secured from the top of the desk, eliminating the need to crawl below when mounting the arm.
- Monitor Tilter: The monitor tilter mechanism provides 108° of up or down adjustment at the head or wrist of the arm.
- Monitor Rotation: The monitor tilter mechanism provides 180° of monitor rotation allowing rotation from landscape to portrait orientation, even upside down (if required).
- Arm Rotates at 3 Joints: The E5 Triple Dynamic Pole Monitor Arm provides ample rotation at three joints for the two outer monitors, the base or "shoulder", the hinge or "elbow" and the end or "wrist". In combination, these joints allow for enough movement for adjusting monitors in numerous configurations.
- Compact Storage: When desired, the arm folds up to occupy only 3" of space, freeing up the entire desk for other activities.
- Cable Management: External and built-in Cable Guides provide cable management to prevent cables from dragging on the desk.

| | Usage Tips |
|---|
- Choose an Arm with an Appropriate Weight Capacity | Before purchasing your monitor arm, investigate the weight capacity of the arm so that the weight of your monitor is ideally in the middle of that range. For example, the weight capacity of the E5 Triple Dynamic Pole Monitor Arm is 2.2 to 20 lbs. The midrange weight is therefore 11 lbs. If your monitor happens to be about 11 lbs, the E5 Triple Dynamic Pole Monitor Arm should work fine for you. The closer to the midrange is the better. If you have not yet purchased a monitor or monitor arm, research your options and choose an arm that will work for the monitor you want. Obviously, if you already have an arm and not the monitor, you will have to choose a monitor with an appropriate weight without its stand included. In addition, you will have to choose a monitor that can be mounted on an arm with an acceptable hole pattern for mounting with screws. For the E5 Triple, the monitor must have a hole pattern in the back side which is either 75 mm x 75 mm or 100 mm x 100 mm square. Otherwise, you may require a special adapter plate.
- Select the Optimal Mounting Location | Since the E5 Triple Dynamic Pole Monitor Arm comes with a 2-in-1 configurable top down mount, you have two options when it comes to mounting your monitor arm. Most people choose the desk clamping option but this only works if your desk has a lip on the mounting side and average depth (24-30"). Otherwise, a grommet mount is the next best option. You need a grommet hole of at least 2.25" diameter for the grommet mount to work, whereas the through mount requires that you drill a small hole in the desk to bolt the mount through the desk to secure it. You may want to roughly position the mount in different locations at first to get an idea of where the movement of the arm is optimal and then decide on which mounting option works best at that location.
- Adjust the Counterbalance Mechanism with Monitor Attached | After the E5 Triple Dynamic Pole Monitor Arm has been mounted in its optimal position, you will need to attach the monitor so that you can properly adjust the counterbalance mechanism. This will ensure that the monitor moves up or down effortlessly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to do this, because if done improperly there may be damage to the balancing system. For the E5 Triple Dynamic Pole Monitor Arm, counterbalancing is done when the arm is extended or pushed down so that both arm segments are parallel to the desk. All hardware to do this calibrating is provided with the arm. After mounting, calibrating the counterbalance is the most critical step in installing your monitor arm properly. Once done, you are almost ready to use the monitor arm (see next tip).
- Become Familiar with the Adjustable Tension Points on the Joints of the Arm | To get the best movement out of your monitor arm, find all the critical joints where you are able to adjust the tension. These can be located using the Instruction Manual and are identified by the presence of a set screw. Allen wrenches are provided that can turn these set screws to vary the force needed to turn the arm at these critical joints. Often these joints are tightened during manufacturing to prevent any loose movement during shipment, so if your monitor arm seems stiff when swivelling at the base, for example, you may need to loosen the set screw at that point. Remember to store the hardware tools in a convenient place in order to make future adjustments quickly when needed.
- Set Monitor at Optimal Height, Angle, and Distance - Once your monitor arm has been installed and calibrated properly, you are ready to set it in the optimal position. In terms of ergonomic principles, the optimal position can vary, but there are definitely improper ways to set your monitor. Learn More About Optimizing Monitor Position.
