Installation Requirements

Pole-mounting: 8 mm socket wrench or screwdriver
Wall-mounting: wall fastener (not included)
The device needs to have clear line of sight to the sky for proper GPS operation.
Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE.
We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations.
We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP-G2, one near the device and the other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP-G2 will absorb power surges and safely discharge them into the ground.
