4. With the Phillips screwdriver tighten the four captive screws to secure the
node to the bracket.
The installation is correct if the node does not easily move from side to side,
and the connectors are oriented to the ground.
Note:
If you need to, add other straps or a sling to increase durability of the
attachment to the pole.
Best practice:
Use a spray to prevent corrosion on the bracket and mount
hardware.
Attaching straps
You need to use straps when you use poles of 5 cm (2 inches) or more in diameter.
You can also use straps for extra support and durability in corrosive
environments.
Straps are not included in the box.
To attach the node to a pole with straps:
1.
Position the universal mounting bracket against the pole.
2. Wrap two straps around the pole and thread them through the channels
between the main piece of metal and the rails.
