Installing the M2 Wireless Hub and Antenna

1. Mount the M2 Hub on a DIN rail inside the
panel enclosure.

The M2 Hub can be mounted vertically or
horizontally on a standard DIN rail. Two
clamp-type feet along the bottom of the hub
attach to the DIN rail, however, rail stops
are recommended to prevent sliding.

2. Add power to the hub by attaching a power cable to the GND/BAT pins and connecting
to a battery or power supply. Voltage must be between 8-32 volts DC.

3. Mount the antenna bracket to the top of the panel, or other structure, no more than 25
feet away from the hub.

4. Attach the coax cable to the Primary Antenna connection on the hub. Feed cable down
and outside of the panel through one of the conduit holes.
