Installation and User Guide

Mount on Streetlight Arm

The Extender may be mounted with either an Up or Down antenna orientation to obtain the best 
communication path for your location.

1.

Attach the Extender to the streetlight arm.

A.

Place the V-Bolt (A) over the streetlight arm and through the holes in the streetlight bracket.

B.

Hold Extender in position and place washers (B) and nuts (C) on the threaded ends of the 
bolts and torque to 45 +/- 5 lbs.

C.

Tighten the two tie wraps (D) to fix the power cable to the bracket, while making sure the 
cable is straight and not twisted up or down relative to its mating connector.

D.

Securely hand tighten the included antenna (E) on the antenna mounting connector of the 
Extender.

Figure 2 - 10.  Mount to Streetlight Arm

NOTE: The antenna should never be more than 10° off in any direction from being perpendicular to 
the ground.

If the Extender is mounted upside down (antenna up), always inspect and verify the presence of an 
O-ring on the antenna base. The O-ring is included with the antenna. Verify that the O-ring has no 
physical deformities that could compromise the water tight seal at the base of the antenna.

2.

To connect the adapter, remove the photocell on the existing light head.

3.

Install the adapter.

4.

Lock it into place by turning clockwise.
