Gable-End Mount

When to use:
Gable-end mounting options are used with CableFree 'Lite', 500 and 1000 systems where permanent installation involves a transmission path running back over the roof of a building.

For CableFree500 and Lite systems, a combination of the standard wall bracket, a vertical extension strut and the pan/tilt unit is suitable. If the mounting surface is not absolutely firm, a load spreader plate is also required. The length of the extension strut must be specified at time of ordering the mounting kit.
For CableFree1000 systems, a sturdy Wall Mount Pole (available separately) is advised instead of the above scheme owing to weight and size of the unit.

Fixing Methods
Wall Mounting Brackets are secured by 4x or 6x M8 Rawl bolts which go into holes that have previously been drilled in the wall. The surface must be able to stand this mounting method without cracking or allowing subsequent movement, vibration or creep of the bracket.

Roof Mount Pole - RMP/2/3

wpe8.jpg (4359 bytes)

When to Use:
Roof mount poles are used when a flat and stable surface is available on which to position a Cablefree transceiver that provides a clear line of sight. Supply subject to site survey.

Available Heights:
RMP/2 = 24"
RMP/3 = 39"
Base dimensions: 300x300mm
Custom heights are also available
Roof mount poles are not recommended to be taller than 3ft due to movement. Other Cablefree fixing mounts are available for greater heights.

Fixing Methods:
The roof mount pole is fixed to a paving slab with 4 X M8 Rawl bolts and the paving slab attached to the roof with Bitumen. This is necessary to obtain a stable mount.


Tower Mounts - ST 2/4 AF

When to Use:
A tower mount may be used in place of roof mount poles when roof mount poles would not be able to provide enough height to achieve line of sight or may be used as a free standing structure on which to mount the Cablefree transceiver. Supply subject to site survey.

Dimensions:
As illustrated tower mounts are available in 2 heights
ST2AF = 2 metres
ST4AF = 4 metres

Fixing Methods:
See drawings

Wall Mount Pole - WMP

wpe10.jpg (4544 bytes)

When to Use:
Wall mount poles are used for mounting Cablefree systems when a clear line of site can be achieved by either positioning the unit from a wall side location or to extend the transceiver above roof height when a suitable roof surface cannot be located. Supply subject to site survey.
Sturdy brackets are advised to avoid possible movement of the unit in adverse conditions such as high winds. These heavy-duty poles are fully weather-proofed and can weigh between 33 and 48kg depending on height. Dimensions must be specified at the time of ordering.

Dimensions:
WMP/1.5 = 1.5m WMP/2 = 2m WMP/3 = 3m
Standard wall mount poles extend 150mm from the wall surface.
Custom heights and poles that extend 225mm, or 300mm from the wall surface are available upon request.

Fixing Methods:
Wall Mount Poles are secured by 8x M8 Rawl bolts which go into holes that have previously been drilled in the wall. The surface must be able to stand this mounting method without cracking or allowing subsequent movement, vibration or creep of the bracket.
