OUNTING
THE
AP
1
Place the AP mounting bracket attached to the AP on top of
the hanger mount so that the indexed teeth and screw holes
on both are aligned.
Figure 7:
Sector mounting
NOTE:
Hanger mount shown attached horizontally to allow AP
azimuth adjustments. Attach the hanger mount vertically to allow
AP elevation adjustments.
NOTE:
The safety cable and ground wire are not shown in Figure
7 and up for clarity.
2
Insert an M8 hex bolt with split and flat washers into the
vertical screw hole on the mounting bracket.
3
Finger tighten the hex bolt until it passes through the screw
hole on the hanger mount.
4
Adjust the orientation of the AP as required. Note the
preferred internal GPS antenna position.
NOTE:
For the GPS feature to operate, the unit must have a
mostly unobstructed view of the sky.

Preferred sector-mount orientation for GPS operation
5
Using a 13mm wrench, tighten the M8 hex bolt to 13.6 N.m
(10 ft-lbs) so the mounting bracket is securely fastened to the
hanger mount.

ROUNDING
THE
AP
CAUTION:
Make sure that earth grounding is available and that it
meets local and national electrical codes. For additional lightning
protection, use lightning rods and lightning arrestors.
NOTE:
The color coding of ground wires varies by region. Before
completing this step, check your local wiring standards for
guidance.
•
Using the factory-supplied ground wire and ground screw,
connect a good earth ground to the AP chassis ground point
(A in Figure 13).
CAUTION:
The AP includes one 12mm stainless steel M6x1 earth
ground screw with split lock and flat washers. Make sure that any
replacement screw is no longer than 12mm. If a screw is longer
than 12mm, it can damage the AP chassis.
