Make sure all the Bandpass Connector’s Roto-Lock clamps are retracted so that they are tucked within the Flex bracket opening. Insert the Bandpass Connector into the mounting opening. The Roto-Lock system can accommodate a maximum wall or ceiling material thickness of 1¼” (32mm). The FastMount tabs will prevent the Bandpass Connector from falling out of the opening, allowing you to let go of the Connector to pick-up tools or other items.

Tighten the Roto-Lock screws on the front of the Bandpass Connector (see Figure 4). (The VP4R BPC has three Roto-Lock clamps. All other Bandpass Connector models have four RotoLock clamps.) The Roto-Lock clamps will automatically rotate into position and begin clamping the Connector. When you notice resistance on the screws the Bandpass Connector has been clamped successfully.
