Page 6: Installation
Philips head screwdriver Mounting The basic ML-IoT/C or /N can be mounted inside a TBRG when the mounting bracket shown is screwed to the rear of the ML-IoT enclosure with the 2x M5x8 pan head bolts. This assembly is then clipped onto the TB7 Rain gauge. - Page 7 The -IP66 enclosure can either be rear mounted on 122mm x 122mm grid holes - or front mounted with the mounting clips and screw provided. Or pole mounted with a HS pole mount kit P/N : ML-IoT-PMK. Page - ML-IoT/C and /N Operation Manual © Copyright Issue 1.2 28 Jun, 2021...
