Honeywell Sensing and Control  25 

Mast mount:

 The benefit of the mast-mount antenna is its rigid design and resistance to displacement when 

subjected to shock, vibration, wind, etc. It can be easily mounted high above the ground to obtain greater RF signal 
performance and it withstands winds up to 100 mph. 

 

•

 

Mast-mount bracket

 (Included with the 8 dBi antenna): Attach antenna to its mounting bracket and tighten 

nut. Assemble two U-clamps around mast and tighten nuts to ensure lock washers provided are 
compressed to a flat condition.
