2.3.2 Mounting Kit

Figure 10 Mounting Kit

The optional moun

ting kit helps mounting the transmitter on a pole mast. When using the

mounting kit, alignment is needed only when mounting for the ﬁrst time.

Using the mounting kit impr

oves the transmitter IP classiﬁcation to IP66. Without the

mounting kit, the W

XT530 series transmitters are rated IP65.
