Note: Please do not install the DTU directly above metal or concrete to prevent signal interference.
C) Choose the installation method.
Option 1: Mount the DTU on the wall.
- Mount the bracket on the wall. Please choose at least two screw holes (one from each side) to fix the bracket (the M4 screws need to be prepared by the installer).
- Fix DTU-Pro-S to the bracket's upper buckle.
- Fix DTU-Pro-S to the bracket's lower buckle gently until you hear a click. Please make sure that the antennas are vertical to the wall.
Illustration shows the DTU-Pro-S being attached to a wall-mounted bracket. The DTU slides into the upper buckle, then gently into the lower buckle until it clicks. Antennas are shown in a vertical position.
Option 2: Place the DTU on the table.
- Please make sure the antennas are vertical to the table.
Illustration shows the DTU-Pro-S placed on a flat surface (table). Antennas are shown in a vertical position relative to the table.
