Articulating Mount for the AP to a Pole
Materials Required
Crimping tool for ground lug, Panduit CT0720 with CD-720-1 die
Four wall mounting screws (6 mm max)
#6 AWG ground wire
Shielded outdoor-rated Ethernet (CAT5e or better) cable
Grounding block
Grounding rod
13-mm box-end wrench or socket set
10-mm box-end wrench
Procedure
Step 1
Select a mounting location on the pole to mount the AP. You can attach the AP to any pole with a diameter
of 2 to 5 inch (51 to 127mm).
Step 2
Disassemble the pivot kit, if not already disassembled.
Step 3 Fasten the pivot bracket base plate to the pole using either one set of the adjustable band clamps or the screw
clamp (the screw clamp can be used only on poles that are 2 to 3 inch (50 to 76 mm) in diameter).
Step 4 Position the pivot bracket base plate and clamp(s) on the pole. Tighten only enough to hold the bracket base
plate in place to prevent it from sliding along the pole but still pivot on the pole. Fully tighten only after the
AP is mounted and positioned.
Step 5 Align the AP-plate end of the bracket with the screw holes in the AP's back.
Step 6
Fasten the bracket plate to the AP by using four M6 x12–mm bolts and a 10–mm box or socket wrench.
Tighten the bolts to 40–lbf-in (4.5 Nm) of torque.
Step 7
Using the 90 mm M8 long screw and the hardware supplied with the pivoting bracket, bolt the AP and bracket
plate to the base plate mounted on the pole. Do not fully tighten the assembly.
Note
Step 8 Pivot and position the AP as required, and then fully tighten the 90 mm M8 long screw using a 13–mm wrench
and then tighten the clamps on the pole.
Note
Caution

The AP should be mounted with the status LED on the base facing downwards.
Use caution when tightening the 80 mm bolts on the pole-mount screw clamp. Ensure the clamp
face remains parallel to the bracket base plate while tightening the bolts. Tighten the M8 x 80 mm
bolts to 52 to 61 lbf-in (5.9 to 6.9 Nm) of torque.
Misalignment and over-torquing can result in breaking the screw clamp.
