Flat Surface Mount
The following steps explain how to mount the HiveAP 170 on a flat surface. You will need the plane bracket and the
four sleeve-bolt assemblies.
1. Use the plane bracket as a template to mark the location of the mounting holes on the surface.
2. Drill a 5/16” (8 mm) hole to a depth of 1.5" (38 mm) into each mark.
3. Remove the nuts and washers and hammer the unthreaded end of a sleeve-bolt assembly into each hole. Make
sure the slotted end of the sleeve goes into the wall. Be sure to leave a minimum of 3/8” (9.5 mm) of the
threaded bolt protruding from the front of the wall.
4. Place a lock washer and flat washer on each of the four hex screws and use the screws to attach the plane
bracket to the back of the HiveAP 170, as shown in Step 1 on page 4.
5. Place the holes in the plane bracket over the mounting bolts and attach the unit using a hex nut, lock washer,
and flat washer on each bolt to tighten the unit to the surface. As you tighten the nuts, the flanges on the back
of the bolt sleeve will expand in the hole, securing the device in place.
6. 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.
Note: If you are not installing the device on a concrete wall, you can use 2" (5 cm) threaded screws and plastic
wall anchors (not supplied) to mount the device.
