Installation

Instructions on mounting and securing the mounting kit to the enclosure and the bearing pole.

1. Fix the included cross bracket on the bottom of the enclosure with four (4) M6*12 bolts.

Figure 1: Mounting the cross bracket

2. Place two (2) pieces of the clamp around the pole and tighten them with the included M6*110 bolts, washers, and nuts.

Weather Protection

To better protect the Ethernet cable gland and the antenna connector from the weather, you need to cover them with PVC tape.

1. Clean the surface area of the connector that will be wrapped. Wrap a layer of PVC tape with a 50% overlap according to the rotation direction of the connector. Continue wrapping the PVC tape to about 10 mm below the end of the connector.

Figure 1: Wrapping with PVC tape

2. Cut off about 50 cm waterproof tape. Stretch it to double the length. Wrap three layers around the connector with a 50% overlap. Hold the tape in place with your hand for a few seconds.

Figure 1: Wrapping with waterproof tape

3. Wrap three additional layers with PVC tape with natural uncoiling force and a 50% overlap. Make sure to cover the head and the tail of the connector.
