PTE-300 PosiTrack Ethernet Camera Controller

3.

Mount the PTE-300 to a flat surface by drilling four holes, based on the mounting-plate dimensions 
shown in FIG. 12. Secure the unit to the surface using four 1/4” x 20 machine bolts and lock 
washers. 

The PTE-300 can be mounted to camera mounts such as the TM-CAM (Tripod Mount Adapter), 
WM-CAM (Wall Mounting Bracket), and PM-CAM (Flush/Ceiling PosiTrack Pedestal Mount)..

FIG. 12
