General Safety Information for Mounting

Read the safety warnings in this section.

One person is required to properly and safely mount the router.

All mounting methods at any location are subject to the acceptance of local jurisdiction.

Note

The mounting surface, attaching screws, and optional wall anchors must be able to support a 50 pound (22.7

kg) static weight.

Note

Personnel mounting the router must understand grounding methods.

Note

Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where

it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come

into contact with such circuits, as they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and

grounding of the antenna, please refer to national and local codes (for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National

Required Materials

• Mounting plate, carriage bolts, and clamp brackets as described in Pole Mount Kit, on page 2.

• 13-mm box-end socket wrench

To install the mounting plate on a vertical pole up to 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) in diameter, perform this procedure.

Step 1 Select a mounting location on the pole and place the top and bottom pole clamp bracket (1) notches against the pole.

Step 2 Place one of the clamp brackets on the opposite side of the pole, aligning the clamp bracket holes with the top two carriage

bolt holes on the mounting plate.

Step 3 Insert a carriage bolt (5) through each of the top two carriage bolt holes on the mounting plate and through the holes in

the clamp brackets.

Step 4 Position each bolt in the clamp so that the bolt is next to the pole, as shown in the following figure.

Install the Mounting Plate—Poles Up To 4.5 Inches in Diameter

Step 5 To place the bracket hardware on each carriage bolt (see the following figure):

a) Place the washer (2) and then the split lock washer (3) on the back of each carriage bolt (5).

b) Thread the hex nut (4) on each carriage bolt. Ensure that the split-lock washer is between the washer and the nut.

Figure 6: Carriage Bolt Hardware Assembly Details

Step 6 Hand tighten the hex nuts (do not over tighten).

Step 7 Repeat Step 3 through Step 6, installing the two bottom carriage bolts and the second clamp bracket at the bottom of the

mounting plate.

Step 8 Position the mounting plate and clamp brackets on the pole, as needed, before tightening the carriage bolts further.

Step 9 Use a socket wrench to evenly tighten all four carriage bolts to finish installing the mounting plate on the pole.

Figure 8: Mounting Plate Installed on Pole with Steel Straps for a Pole Greater than 4.5 Inch In Diameter

Step 1 Assemble the straps and the mounting plate by threading the two steel straps through the band strap slots on the mounting

plate.

Step 2 Select a mounting location on the pole.

Step 3 Position the mounting plate on the pole, as needed, and tighten the straps around the pole.

Step 4 Use the BAND-IT strap tool to tighten the metal bands around the pole, following the instructions in the box that is

provided with the tool. Ensure that the metal bands are as tight as possible (approximately 7 ft lbs).

When the metal bands are tightened to the full tension, the mounting plate cannot be adjusted unless the metal

bands are disassembled or cut.

Note

Install the Mounting Plate—Mounting on Wood Pole (Optional)

If the pole used in your installation is made of wood, you can optionally install the mounting plate using the

procedure described in this section. This is an alternate mounting method to the following two mounting

methods, which can also be used when mounting the router on a wood pole:

•Install the Mounting Plate—Poles Up To 4.5 Inches in Diameter, on page 7

•Install the Mounting Plate—Poles Larger than 4.5 Inches in Diameter, on page 9

Required Materials

• Mounting plate as described in Pole Mount Kit, on page 2.

• Hardware that you supply: 5/8-in. carriage bolt (length depends on the pole size in your installation),

standard washer, fender washer, and nut (2 sets)

• Tools that you supply: Drill, drill bit (for 5/8-in. through bolts), and 13-mm box-end socket wrench
