Mounting

Note: During installation, please
be sure that the cables are
secure but do not bear any
additional weight that could
loosen the connector from the
unit.

Your PinPoint X should be mounted in a position that allows 
easy access for the cables so they are not bent, constricted, in 
close proximity to high amperage, or exposed to extreme 
temperatures. The LEDs on the front panel should be visible 
for ease of operational verification. You should ensure that 
there is adequate airflow around the modem but that it is kept 
free from direct exposure to the elements, such as sun, rain, 
dust, etc.

Caution:

The PinPoint X is in a hardened case and designed for use

in industrial and extreme environments. However, unless you are
using cables expressly designed for such environments, they can fail
if exposed to the same conditions the PinPoint X can withstand.

Note: This device is not
intended for use within close
proximity of the human body.
Antenna installation should
provide for at least a 20 CM
separation from the operator.

Antennas selected should not exceed a maximum gain of 5 dBi 
under standard installation configuration. In more complex 
installations (such as those requiring long lengths of cable and/
or multiple connections), it’s imperative that the installer 
follow maximum dBi gain guidelines in accordance with the
