How to combine two boxes and install WLAN dipole antennas

The second box is an optional accessory box. If you have purchased this optional box, please refer to the following:

1. Connecting X3A's male pin header onto its accessory box's female pin header.

1. Attach the mounting bracket onto one side of the unit and secure it with two M2.5 screws.

1. Complete the setup by attaching the 2nd mounting bracket onto the other side and screwing the 2 remaining screws into X3A.

1. Finally, attach the external WLAN antenna.

Chapter 3 How to install din rail

There are two sides you could choose and attach the din rail clip onto: bottom or side; you may decide on the position base on your requirements.

1. X3A only

The example below demonstrates installing din rail clip onto the bottom of X3A.

A. First, turn the main unit onto its back. Take out the din rail clip from the accessory package and align it with mounting holes. Then, take two M4 screws from the accessory package and tighten them sequentially.

B. Position the unit at an angle to clip the two inner hooks of the din rail clip onto the upper edge of the track. Press downward with force, allowing the lower hooks to clip onto the track, thus completing the installation.

2. X3A and its accessory box

The example below demonstrates installing din rail clip onto the bottoms of X3A and its accessory box.

A. First, turn LIVA X3A and accessory box bottoms up, and take out the din rail clip from the accessory package. Align the clip with mounting holes as shown in the image below.

B. Take out two M4 screws from the accessory pack and tighten them chronologically.

C. Tighten the dipole antennas.

D. Position the unit at an angle to clip the two inner hooks of the din rail clip onto the upper edge of the track. Press downward with force, allowing the lower hooks to clip onto the track, thus completing the installation.
