6.3.2 Mounting with U- or V-Clamps
Use the U- or V-clamps for pole diameters up to 4 in./10 cm. If the pole is larger, see Section 6.3.3,
“
Mounting with Steel Straps”.
Required parts and tools:

Pole/wall mount bracket with attached pole clamps; see Section 6.3.1, “ Attaching Pole Clamps to
Mounting Bracket ”

Two U- or V-clamps (use one type or the other; do not mix) and associated hardware, both sized
either 1.5 in./4 cm, 2 in./5 cm, 2.5 in./6 cm, 3 in./8 cm, 3.5 in./9 cm, or 4 in./10 cm to match pole
diameter at installation site

Socket wrench with ½ in. socket

Torque wrench, 3/8 in. head with range for 4-60Nm or 3-45lbf-ft

To install the pole/wall mount bracket onto a vertical pole up to 4 in. (10 cm) in diameter using U-clamps
or V-clamps, refer to Figure 6, “Attaching Assembled Pole/Wall Mount Bracket to Pole with U-Clamp or
V-Clamp” and follow these steps:
1. Select a mounting location on the pole and place the pole clamp notches from the assembled
pole/wall mounting bracket against the pole. Ensure the orientation cut-out is pointing up (see
Figure 4, “Pole/Wall Mount Bracket”).
2. Insert one U-bolt or V-bolt through the top of the pole/wall mount bracket. Install the washers and
then hand-tighten the nuts.
3. Insert a second U-bolt or V-bolt through the bottom of the pole/wall mount bracket. Install the
washers and then hand-tighten the nuts.
4. Position the pole/wall mount bracket on the pole as needed before further tightening the bolts.
5. Use the socket wrench to evenly tighten all four bolts of the pole/wall mount bracket to the pole (do
not over tighten).
6. Use the torque wrench to tighten down all four bolts and finish the installation of the pole/wall
mount bracket to the pole (do not over tighten). See Table 6, “Recommended Torque Values for U-
Bolt or V-Clamp Bolts” for torque values for more information.
7. Install the HM or RBM onto the mounted pole/wall mount bracket. See Chapter 7, “ Installing the
Hub Module ” or Chapter 8, “ Installing the Remote Backhaul Module ” as applicable.
