D2O FL1 Product Manual - 11
Antenna mounts and masts are commonly available with a 32mm outer
diameter post making them an acceptable mounting solution.
Several antenna mast kits, including guyed options, are capable of extending
several meters into the air and may be a preferred solution to increase
transmission capabilities in areas where the D2O is surrounded by tall objects.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If installing the D2O at a height that cannot be safely
reached once installed, such as a tall mast, ensure the D2O
is switched on and commissioned prior to mounting as these
steps require physical access to the device.
Ensure the post or mount is engaged all the way to the bottom of the D2O
mounting socket. The D2O is supplied with a
Hex Head Grub Screw
to fasten
the device to its mount. Use a 2.5mm Allen key or other 2.5mm Hex drive to
fasten the grub screw. The screw should only be tightened enough to stop
easy rotation or removal of the device.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not over-tighten the grub screw. It is possible to
permanently damage the D2O’s plastic enclosure by over-
tightening the grub screw to the mount.
For increased mounting strength on a 34-34.5mm post, pre-drill a hole in the
post for the grub screw to pass through. The hole centre should be drilled at
14mm from the top of the mount, in the desired direction. The use of a 5.5mm
drill is recommended.
If using a post with a diameter <34mm, pre-drill an indentation/recess into the
post at the same location. In <34mm diameter pipe a complete hole will not
provide the securing force required and the D2O will have a loose fit.
