Horizontal Pole Mount
The following steps explain how to mount the HiveAP 170 on a horizontal pole.
1. To mount the HiveAP 170 on a horizontal pole, first attach the plane bracket to the back of the unit using the
four hex-head bolts with lock washers and flat washers.
2. Mount the base bracket to the plane bracket using the four round-head screws, so that is oriented horizontally.
Each screw should have a lock washer and flat washer.
3. Thread the open end of the hose strap through the two tabs on the base bracket.
4. Tighten the hose clamp with a 1/4” (2 cm) slotted screwdriver or a 5/16” (8 mm) drive socket (or nut) driver.
5. Connect the grounding cable to the grounding lug on the unit, as shown in Figure 3 on page 7. Connect the other
end of the cable to an appropriate ground.
When attaching the HiveAP 170 to a horizontal pole, such as the arm of a street light, make sure that the face of the
device is perpendicular to the Earth for optimal RF coverage.
Attach the plane bracket to the back of the unit using
(4) 3/8” x 1/2” (10 mm x 13 mm) hex head bolts and
1/2” (13 mm) lock washers and flat washers.
Attach the base bracket to the plane bracket using
(4) 1/4” (6 mm) round head screws with lock washers
and flat washers.
