Horizontal Pole Mount

The following steps explain how to mount the AP170 on a horizontal pole.
1. To mount the AP170 on a horizontal pole, first attach the plane bracket to the back of the unit using the
four hex-head bolts with lock washers and flat washers.
2. Mount the base bracket to the plane bracket using the four round-head screws, so that is oriented
horizontally. Each screw should have a lock washer and flat washer.
1
Attach the plane bracket to the back of the unit
using (4) 3/8" x 1/2" (10 mm x 13 mm) hex
head bolts and 1/2" (13 mm) lock washers and
flat washers.
3. Thread the open end of the hose strap through the two tabs on the base bracket.
4. Tighten the hose clamp with a 1/4" (2 cm) flat blade screwdriver or a 5/16" (8 mm) drive socket driver.

Thread the hose strap through the
two tabs on the base bracket.
5. Connect the grounding cable to the grounding lug on the unit, as shown in
Connect the other end of the cable to an appropriate ground.
When attaching the AP170 to a horizontal pole, such as the arm of a street light, make sure that the face of
the device is perpendicular to the Earth for optimal RF coverage.
