The AP1130 marine-grade bracket kit ships with the following components:

Vertical or Horizontal Pole Mount

The following steps explain how to mount the AP1130 on a vertical or horizontal pole. The pole can be from 1.0 - 2.75 inches (25 to 70 mm) in diameter. You can also order a marine-grade hose strap (AH-ACC-1130-STRP-MRN-3-15) to fit poles with a 3" to 15" (76 to 381 mm) diameter (see AP1130 Marine-Grade Large Hose Strap Installation Guide).

1. Attach the bracket to the back of the unit for either a vertical or horizontal mount using the four mounting bolts with attached washers. Tighten the bolts with a crosshead screwdriver. Be sure to use the bolts with washers from the plastic bag labeled "Pole Mount and Grounding" as they secure the bracket tightly to the back of the device for pole mounts.
2. The embossed arrows on the bracket should be pointing up for both a vertical pole mount and for a vertical surface (wall) mount.

1. Slip the large ends of the bracket keyholes over the mounting screws.

1. Slide the bracket up until the screw heads are in the narrow portion of the keyhole.

1. Tighten the locking screws to secure the bracket.

1. Thread the open end of the hose strap through the two tabs on the mounting bracket.
2. Fit the hose strap around the pole and tighten the clamp with a 1/4" (2 cm) slotted screwdriver or a 5/16" (8 mm) nut driver.

1. Insert the fifth bolt with washer through the terminal on one end of the ground cable. Thread the bolt into the ground hole on the back of the unit and tighten it until the ground terminal is secure.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to an appropriate ground.

Correct Alignment for Horizontal Mounts

When attaching the AP1130 to a horizontal pole, such as the arm of a street light, make sure that the face of the device is perpendicular to Earth for optimal RF coverage.

Flat Surface Installation

The following steps explain how to mount the AP1130 on a flat surface or wall. You will need the mounting bracket and the four bolts without washers in the plastic bag labeled "Wall Mount". You will also need four mounting screws and wall mount anchors (not included) that are appropriate for the wall type where you are installing the unit.

1. Use the bracket as a template to mark the location of the mounting holes in the wall.

1. Drill a hole in the wall at each mark. Attach the bracket to the wall using the appropriate mounting screws for the wall type.

Note

If you are not installing the device on a concrete wall, you can use threaded screws and plastic wall anchors (not supplied) to mount the device.

1. Insert the bolts without washers from the plastic bag labeled "Wall Mount" into the four mounting holes on the back of the device.
2. Insert the heads of the bolts on the device into the large end of the bracket keyholes and slide the device down until the bolts rest in the narrow end of the keyholes.
3. Tighten the locking screws on the bracket to secure the device to the bracket.
4. Connect the terminal on one end of the grounding cable to the ground lug on the unit, and connect the other end of the cable to an appropriate ground, as shown in Step 5 in "Vertical or Horizontal Pole Mount".
