4. Use the cloth to clean the area of the pole that will meet the ball plate. Remove
the double stick tape cover from the back of the plate, wrap the clamp band
around the pole, and attach the second (non-engaged) end of the fastener.
Tighten the clamp to secure it.
5. Attach the double socket arm to the square ball plate.
6. Attach the SPP ball plate to the other end of the double socket arm.

7. Point the front of the SPP toward the wireless sensors and tighten the double
socket arm to secure the SPP digital radio's position.
Installing the Mounting Plate on Walls
When attaching the square surface-mounting ball plate to a flat surface, the clamp
band is not used. Instead, attach the ball plate to the surface with screws using
each of the four corner holes.
Installing the Mounting Plate on Beams
When attaching the square surface-mounting ball plate to a beam, the clamp band
is not used. Instead, attach the ball plate to the beam with beam clamps using two
of the four corner holes. Beam clamps are available from Sensys Networks.
