Assembling The AA195PM Two Hole Outdoor Pole Mounting Kit
The AA195PM mounting kit contains all hardware items required for pole mounting and weatherproofing the
ESTeem for outdoor installations. The ESTeem Model 195 series (195E & 195 Narrowband) and Horizon series
modem together with the AA195PM mounting kit allows the modem to be directly mounted to a round pole
between 1.25” and 2” in diameter. Any pole larger that 2” in diameter will require banding through the Pole
Mount Brackets.
Step 1: Pole Mounting Kit Packaging
a) If you purchased an AA195PM mounting kit with your ESTeem modem, the kit will be packed in
the same packing box as the modem (Figure 1).
