Pole Mount

To mount the HiveAP 28 to a pole with a 2-inch diameter, you need two sets of the L-shaped brackets, two 2" 
U-bolts, saddle clamps, and the nuts, bolts, and washers shown in 

Figure 5

. You also need a wrench to tighten the 

nuts and bolts securely.

Attaching the HiveAP 28 to a Pole

1. Align two of the holes in the shorter end of the bracket with two of the holes in the HiveAP, insert the two bolts 

through the washers and bracket, and screw them into the holes in the HiveAP 28 chassis, using a wrench to 
tighten the bolts so that the bracket is securely attached.

2. Holding a saddle clamp against the inside of the long end of one of the L-shaped brackets, slip a U-bolt around 

the pole and thread it through the two holes in the saddle clamp and L-shaped bracket.

3. Thread a split washer and 5/16-18 nut to each end of the U-bolt, and tighten them with a wrench to secure the 

U-bolt firmly to the pole.

Note:

Repeat this step to attach the other bracket to the HiveAP. However, this time, place the long end of 
the bracket in the opposite direction of the first one for better stability. For example, if you attached 
the first bracket with its long end positioned toward the outside edge of the device, install this second 
bracket with the long end of the bracket toward the middle.

Note:

One of the holes in the bracket is arc-shaped so that you can adjust the angle of the mounted device if 
necessary.

Note:

Repeat steps 2 and 3 to attach the other U-bolt and saddle clamp to the remaining L-shaped bracket 
and secure the HiveAP 28 to the pole.

Note: For clarity, only one post mounting 
set is shown in the illustration. You also 
need to use a second set to finish mounting 
the HiveAP on a pole.

Use the 1/4-20 bolts and split 
washers to attach the shorter end of 
the L-shaped bracket to holes in the 
underside of the HiveAP 28.

Slip the U-bolt around the pole and 
thread its ends through the saddle 
clamp and L-shaped bracket.

Thread the split washers and 
5/16-18 nuts over the ends of the 
U-bolt and tighten until the bracket 
assembly and device are secured to 
the pole.
