Wall or ceiling installation

When mounting the HP 501 on a wall or ceiling, ensure that the mounting surface and the fasteners you use can support at least 0.9 kg (2 lb). Allow extra weight for cables.

WARNING! Areas above false ceilings can contain dangerous electrical cabling, gas pipes, and other hazards. Make whatever safety arrangements are needed to ensure that you can work safely above the false ceiling. HP recommends that you use a non-conductive step ladder such as one made of fiberglass.

1.Hold the mounting bracket against the wall or ceiling where it will be installed. Mark two holes for the screws (wall anchors).

2.Drill two holes for the wall anchors, typically 4.7 mm (3/16 inch) in diameter.

3.Insert the anchors and tap them flush with the wall or ceiling surface.

4.Use the mounting screws to attach the spring clips and mounting bracket to the wall or ceiling.

5.Attach the three antennas to the HP 501.

6.Align the tab slots on the back of the HP 501 with the retention tabs on the mounting bracket. Figure 3 Wall mount
