Vertically Mounting Without Pivot Bracket For 4 to 8 inches Vertical Pole

If you need to vertically mount the AP on vertical poles of diameter ranging from
4 to 8 inches (102 to 203 mm), you can use PMK2 without the pivot bracket. In this case, you fix the
PMK2 strap brackets directly to the PMK2 wall mount bracket.
Position the strap brackets on the wall mount bracket as shown in
Step 1
Step 2 Secure each strap bracket with two M8 x16 bolts (with lock washers). Tighten the bolts to 13 to 15 lb.ft
(17.6 to 20.3 Nm).
Select a mounting location on the pole to mount the access point.

disassembled.
Step 5 Screw an M8 x 12 mm bolt into each of the four bolt holes on the back side of the access point. Do not
screw the bolt in all the way. Leave a gap of about 0.13 inch (3.3 mm).
Position the four bolts on the access point into the bracket's keyhole slots. Check to ensure that the
