Mounting the Bracket

MOUNTING THE BRACKET

Ensure that cables are accessible at the chosen mounting location prior to the installation of the bracket. There should be at least 28 inches (71 cm) of free cable to run through the housing and make connections. To attach the bracket to the mounting surface, see Figure 1 and perform the following. 1) Place the mounting plate against the vertical mounting surface, ensure that it is level, and mark the location of the four mounting holes.
Note: If you are using the KTE-100/200-UA Universal Adapter Mount or KTE100/200-PA Pole Mount Adapter, see the appendices for installation instructions.

2) 3)

Prepare the mounting holes appropriately according to the type of surface (concrete, wood, etc.) and fasteners used. If the cables are attached externally to the mounting surface, remove one of the slot covers on the mounting bracket to provide an opening for the cable to enter. Feed the cables through the mounting bracket. Attach the bracket to the mounting surface with appropriate fasteners.

APPENDIX B: USING THE KTE-100/200-PA POLE MOUNT ADAPTER

To use the KTE-100/200-PA Pole Mount adapter to mount the KTE-300 to a pole see Figure 13 and Figure 14 and perform the following.
Note: If the pole you are using has a circumference too large for the KTE-100/200-PA, use the KTA-26 Pole Mount Adapter. The KTA-26 uses adjustable metal straps to connect to the pole.

Figure 13. Attaching the KTE-300 bracket to one side of the pole-mount adapter.

1)

If you are using cables that are external to the mounting pole, remove one of the slot covers on the KTE-300 mounting bracket (Figure 1). Attach the KTE-300 mounting bracket to one side of the polemount adapter with the provided 2-inch bolts, washers and nuts. If the cables are routed inside the pole, feed them from the pole through the adapter and bracket.
