Hardware Installation
The NanoBeam can be mounted on a pole or to a wall. Perform
the steps for the appropriate installation:
Pole-Mount
1. Insert the Ball Joint Mount into the Lock Ring with the
threads of the Lock Ring facing the ball joint.
2. Open the Metal Strap and feed it through the base of the
Ball Joint Mount.
3. Wrap the Metal Strap around the pole. Use a 7 mm socket
wrench or screw driver to turn the screw clockwise and
securely fasten the strap to the pole.
4. Attach the NanoBeam to the Ball Joint Mount and turn the
Lock Ring to secure it. Keep the Lock Ring loose enough to
allow the NanoBeam to pivot for aiming.

Wall-Mount
The NanoBeam must be mounted directly to a wood stud
or other structurally stable surface to avoid damage to the
mounting hole when you adjust the aim.
Optional Accessory
To enhance stability, you can use the NanoBeam Wall Mount
Kit, model NBE-WMK (soldseparately).
Note: Center screw included. Two optional screws
(not included) provide additional stability.
Installation Instructions
1. Mark the desired location of the mounting point.
2. If needed, drill a pilot hole for the fastener.
3. Insert the Ball Joint Mount into the Lock Ring with the
threads of the Lock Ring facing the ball joint.
4. If you are using the optional NanoBeam Wall Mount Kit,
skip to step b.
a. To attach the Ball Joint Mount to the wall, insert a
fastener (not included) through the center of the ball
joint, and into the wall. Securely tighten the fastener.
