Chapter 3: Mounting the Enclosure
3.1 Pole Mount
To provide unobstructed RF coverage, mount the SmartPath AP (LWN602HA) in a relatively open area. At a minimum, mount it
on a pole or mast so that the antennas have at least a three-foot clearance from any nearby obstructions.
NOTE: To help protect the SmartPath AP from lightning strikes, do not place it at the highest point of a building or structure.
You can mount the enclosure on a vertically, horizontally, or diagonally oriented pole that has a diameter from 1" to 3
1
⁄2" (2.5 cm
to 8.9 cm). The mounting plate is adjustable, allowing you to orient it vertically regardless of how the pole bracket must be
attached to the pole.
1. To mount the SmartPath AP (LWN602HA) enclosure on a pole or mast, first use the two clamps to attach the pole bracket to
the pole, as shown in Figure 2. To tighten the clamps, use a 1/4" (2 cm) slotted screwdriver or a 3/8" (10 mm) drive socket (or
nut driver).
NOTE: You can mount the pole bracket with either end at the top or bottom.
Run the two clamps through
the slots in the pole bracket.
Wrap the clamp bands around a pole and
pass the ends through the gap in the hinge.
Tighten each clamp around the
pole by pulling on the band.
Swivel the screw inward until its grooves engage the slots in
the band. First, tighten the screw by hand until the clamp has a
firm grip on the pole. Then tighten with a screwdriver or drive
socket. When done, tuck the bands inside the pole bracket.

Figure 2. Mounting the pole bracket.
When attaching the pole bracket to a horizontal pole, such as the arm of a street light, make sure that the face of the pole
bracket is perpendicular to the Earth so that the SmartPath AP can provide optimal RF coverage. See Figure 3.
