Overview QUICK-MOUNT
The Quick Mount is a quick and flexible way to
mount the Wireless Electric Eyes to virtually any
fence pipe, cattle panel, etc. It's great for temporary
or permanent installation of electric eyes for roping.
The combination of a ball head, pivoting support
arms, and a rotating base allows numerous position-
ing adjustments as illustrated below.

The Quick Mount attaches to fences and posts using

plastic tie-wraps. Leave the mount attached for just
the night, or leave it attached for months! Additional
tie-wraps are available at most hardware and auto-
parts stores.
Loosening the Adjustment Knob allows movement of
the ball head and pivoting of the holding arms. Loos-
ening the knob about 1/2 turn frees the ball head to
rotate and swivel. Loosening the knob slightly more
allows the arms to pivot.
Loosening the Base Knob on the Quick Mount allows
rotation of the Quick Mount on its base. This rotation
can be used to orient the holding arms so they pivot in
the direction you require.
Note: Keeping the eye “flat” as illustrated is only
required when mounting the eye with the antenna.
The electric eye without the antenna can be mounted
in any orientation required.
