Mounting on a Pole

Use a pole having an outside 
diameter between 1

"

 and 1-1/4

"

 

(25 – 31 mm). 

1. Hold the mounting bracket 

against the pole. Put two 
U-bolts around the pole and 
insert the ends through the 
holes in the back of the 
mounting bracket.

2. Secure the mounting bracket 

using 1/4" flat washers and 
1/4" hex nuts. Tighten all 
four sets of washers and hex 
nuts until the mounting 
bracket is firmly mounted on 
the pole.

3. Use the longer cable tie to 

secure the coil of unused 
cable to the pole; use the 
8”cable ties to secure the uncoiled sensor cable to pole to prevent fraying in wind.

lag screws, attach the 
mounting bracket to the

Use a carpenter’s level 
when marking the holes to 
ensure that the bracket will 
be level.

wrench or 7/16" wrench, 
tighten the lag screws.
