Mounting the Enclosure
The HotPoint 1000R enclosure should be mounted securely to a wall or a pole approximately 2”
(51 mm) in diameter.
Mounting Guidelines
• For best results, the mounting location should enable maximum performance of the antenna
and any attached devices such as access points or cameras. Whenever possible, provide
clear line-of-sight access for the antenna. You can test various locations by mounting the unit
to a portable stand until you can determine the ideal location for permanent mounting.
• The location must allow for a solid connection to earth ground. Be sure the earth ground wire
or strap does not obstruct access to the enclosure.
• The unit must be within 100’ (30 M) of an indoor AC outlet for power. Note: AC power is not
required if the HotPoint 1000R will receive power via PoE (power over Ethernet) from an
attached peripheral device. Note: If power is provided to the Hotpoint 1000R via a PoE
carrying Ethernet connector, use the sealing cap from the Ethernet connector to cover the
power input connector.
• Avoid areas with heavy vehicle and foot traffic. Do not install near rain gutters and
downspouts or areas subject to flooding.
