Pipe/Pole Mounting
With the pipe or pole mount option, the AP must be mounted vertically on a wooden or metal utility pole
up to 14.5” in diameter or a pipe with a diameter greater than 4". Ensure the unit is oriented so that the
text on the label is upright. This puts the internal antenna in the correct orientation, which is horizontal
polarization. Mounting the radio with a non-vertical orientation will prevent proper operation of the
system.

STEP 1 An adapter bracket is used to attach the AP to the pole clamp. Use a 1/2” wrench and the four
hex-head bolts with lock washers to attach the adapter bracket to the pole clamp. The bolts go through
the pole clamp holes, through the outside of the adapter bracket, and are secured on the inside of the
bracket with the lock washers and nuts. This assembly can then be attached to the AP base plate using
the two sets of four screws and lock washers. Ensure that the AP is oriented with the labels reading right-
side-up.
STEP 2 A cable is used to strap the radio mount to the pole or pipe. First loosen the two 4-bolt clamps
near the loop end of the cable so the cable can slide free through them. Wrap the two ends of the cable
around the pole or pipe and place the ends in the two notched sections of the mount. Then pull the loop
end of the cable to take up any slack and tighten the two 4-bolt clamps with a 1/2” wrench to secure the
cable. The nuts at the ends of the cable can then be tightened using a 5/8” wrench to cinch the cable
around the pole or pipe to the desired tension. If necessary, adjust the bracket rotation using the 5/8”
wrench on the two bolt heads.
Ensure all bolts are tight and the cable loop will not rattle against the unit in windy conditions. If the latter
is a problem, secure the loop of the cable to one of the ends of the cable with a cable-tie.
