Mounting the Wireless Repeater
The wireless repeater can be installed on a flat surface or on a pole at the location
designated for installation. Use the U-bolts to install the wireless repeater on a pole or the
lag screws to install the repeater on a flat surface.
General Installation Guidelines
• The solar panel should face south if in the Northern Hemisphere, or north if in the
Southern Hemisphere.
• Rotate the antenna to vertical before mounting.
Installing the Repeater on a Flat Surface
Refer to the following illustration to install the repeater on a post or flat vertical surface:
1. With a 3/16'' (5 mm) drill bit, drill four holes approximately 2-1/8'' (54 mm) apart. Use
a carpenter’s level to ensure the holes are level. Use the holes on the wireless repeater
box as a guide when marking the holes.
2. Drill two more holes 7-1/32" below the upper holes.
3. Insert the 1/4" x 1-1/2" lag screws through the flat washers, and through the holes at
the top and bottom of the shelter into the post.
4. Using an adjustable wrench or 7/16" wrench, tighten the lag screws.
