or the wall bracket up to a maximum of ± 180 . For this reason, the M4 hexagon socket screw
connecting the base and the signal converter or the connection box must be loosened. Once the
signal converter or the connection box has been turned, it must be screwed back on to the base
again (tightening torque 2 Nm).
