Installing the RLY-800 on a Pole or Wall
The RLY-800 mounting bracket accommodates
mounting the RLY-800 with either lag bolts or band
clamps.
The RLY-800 mounting bracket provides two pre-
drilled mounting holes to attach the assembly to a
wooden pole or wall with two lag bolts. The lag bolts
should be 3/8 inch diameter by 3 inches or longer to
secure the RLY-800 and bracket assembly.
Two customer-supplied band clamps are required to
install the RLY-800 to a metal pole. Band clamps
may also be used on wooden poles.
Ensure that the front door has room to open at least
90 degrees. The minimum required clearance is 8
inches (20.3 cm) in front of the mounting surface.
Perform the following steps to install the RLY-800 on
a pole or wall:
1. Identify a mounting location for the RLY-800
that is near the top of the pole to maximize the
effectiveness of the relay.
Keep in mind that a power source is required for
the device and possible external antenna
considerations.
2. Orient the RLY-800 and mounting bracket
assembly as required for the installation.
See
“Mounting Options for the RLY-800” on
for more information.

3. If you are using lag bolts, mark the locations of
the lag bolt holes and drill a pilot hole to
facilitate installing the lag bolts.
If you are using band clamps, install the top and
bottom clamps and tighten, then proceed with
4. Install the lower lag bolt leaving room for the
bracket to slip over the bolt.
5. Install the RLY-800 and mounting bracket
assembly over the lower lag bolt.
6. Install the upper lag bolt and secure the RLY-
800 and mounting bracket assembly to the pole.
7. Finish tightening the lower lag bolt.
8. If the RLY-800 uses an external antenna that is
attached to the enclosure, install the antenna at
this time.
You are ready to supply power to the RLY-800 as
described in
“Wiring the RLY-800” on page 12
install an external antenna as described in
“Installing an External Remote Antenna” on page 11
.
CAUTION:
, RLY-800’s that
use an external attached antenna must be oriented
so that the antenna is pointing towards the ground;
otherwise, moisture may damage the RLY-800.
