2.5.3 Wall Mount Installation

The BTS can be installed on walls. This requires attaching and fastening the carriage with the BTS to the

wall using suitable securing means (not supplied). The location of the screws should be planned with

maximum precision.

1 Place the carriage on the wall and mark the exact location of the holes to drill.

2 Drill the holes and use four metal dowels and screws to secure the carriage to the wall.

3 Insert the tilt control screws (M8x20) into the middle-side hole of the carriage on both sides (see

Figure 2-13).
