All dimensions are in millimeters unless otherwise stated.

Usage and Application

Intended for deployments where AN302 units need a flexible mounting option. The Articulating Bracket is installed with the AH301 Flush Mount or AH302 Box Mount and then can adapt with the following mounting schemes:

  • Unistrut, either vertical or horizontal
  • V-block pipe clamp
  • Truss pipe clamp
  • Beam mount

Additional hardware may be required for mounting.

AH302 with AH303 Sealing Kit

  1. Insert the sealing gasket into the groove of the AH302 Box Mount with the large “teeth” facing outwards. Verify the seal is stretched evenly.

    Step 1 View of gasket
  2. Unscrew the cap and hex nut from the 3/4-inch NPT cable gland. The hex nut will not be used.

  3. Remove the pre-installed rubber cable seal from the cable gland.

    Step 2 Step 3
  4. Screw the end of the cable gland to the AH302 Box Mount. Fully seat the flat rubber gasket onto the plastic and tighten to create a seal.

  6. Using the #8 1/2-inch self-tapping screws, install AB301 Part B to AH302. Use four screws in total. Ciholas provides one spare.

    Step 5 Step 6
  7. Insert 1 (or 2) Ethernet cable(s) through the cap nut of the cable gland.

  8. Select either the Single cable insert or the dual cable insert for the cable gland. Insert the Ethernet cable(s) through the slit(s) in the seal. The ring of silicon of the seal should face away from the cap nut.

    Step 7 Step 8
  9. Insert the cables through the gland and AH302 from the exterior. Provide enough cable for a service loop to allow the anchor to be removed and disconnected once the cables are sealed with the gland.

    Step 9 View of cable for service loop
  10. Fully seat the cable insert into the gland. The top of the seal should be flush with the top of the gland. Screw the cap nut onto the cable gland and tighten.

Unistrut Mounting

These instructions are given for using AH301. AH302 may be substituted in place of AH301. These instructions can be used for either Vertical or Horizontal orientated Unistrut.

This mounting style requires additional hardware that is not provided by Ciholas.

  1. Align Part B of AB301 with the hole pattern labeled “F” on AH301.

  2. Using the #8 1/2-inch self-tapping screws, install AB301 Part B to AH302. Use four screws in total. Ciholas provides one spare.

    Step 1 Step 2
  3. Insert channel nuts into the Unistrut channel and position appropriately.

  4. Align Part A of AB301 with the Unistrut channel nuts and pass screws through the AB301 component into the channel nuts. Tighten the screws to fix the bracket component into place.

    Step 3 Step 4
  5. Align the assembly holes in Part B of AB301 with the threaded inserts in Part A.

  6. Using the M4 8mm flanged head screws, install AB301 Part A to AB301 Part B. Ciholas provides one spare.

    Step 5 Step 6
  7. Pass Ethernet cable(s) through the back of the AH301. Provide enough cable length for a service loop to allow the AN302 to be removed and disconnected.

  8. Plug the Ethernet cable(s) into the AN302 connectors.

    Step 7 Step 8
  9. Align the AN302 backplate with the threaded bosses in AH301. Twist to adjust as needed. Press AN302 and AH301 together.

  10. Install AN302 to AH301 using the captive screws. Use a T20 drive set to 0.68 N-m (6 in-lb) of torque.
