Safety Instructions and Site Hazard Warnings

Read and follow these safety instructions and hazard warnings before installing an AP1130. Keep these instructions for future reference.

The following icons are used to identify the type of caution or warning in this document:

Refer to the following cautions and warnings when installing your AP1130.

This icon indicates a general caution. Failure to comply with a caution notificati on can result in damage t o equipment.

This icon indicates an electrical caution. Failure to comply with an electrical notification can result in serious injury or death, and extensive damage to equipment.

Aerohive Networks

Aerohive devices must be installed by a professional installer who is certified to install these types of devices an d to ensure that they ar e properly grounded and meet applicable local and national electrical codes. In the United States of America, wireless devices with N-type connectors must be installed by a professional installer to satisfy the FCC antenna requirement for a uni que connection method.

Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed the recommended ranges.

To comply with radio frequency exposure limits, do not place this antenna within 26.5" (67 cm) of any people or animals.

Changes or modifications made to this device that are not exp ressly approved by the par ty responsible for compl iance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

For reliable connections in all conditions, especially in wet and windy locat ions, you must use the Ether net cable housing.

For products available in the USA/Canada market, for the 2.4 GHz band, onl y channels 1-11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible.

Use only attachments and accessories specified by Aerohive.

These devices are not designed or approved for use with power lines other than 110-120V or 220-240 volts, 50/60 Hz, si ngle phase (depending on the country in which they are being used). Attempting to use these devices on non-approved power lines may have hazardous consequences.

Do not plug these devices into a filtered power strip or AC line filter.

These devices are not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabili ties, or with lack of experience of knowledge unless they are given supervision or instruction concerning use of the devices by a person who is responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that the y do not play wi th the devices.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in complete or intermitte nt failures. Be sure to follo w ESD-prevent ion procedures when handli ng electronic components.

Disconnect all power by turning off the power switch and unplugging t he power cord be fore installi ng or removin g a device, or w orking near power supplies.

Reliable grounding of equipment should be maintai ned. Particul ar attention shou ld be given to s upply connecti ons other than dir ect connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips.)

To protect the AP1130 from lightning, do not place it at the highest point of a building or structure.

During operation, the surfaces of the AP1130 can become hot. Use caution when handling.

Make sure that the AP1130 is connected to a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact t he appropriate electri cal inspection authority if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.

Do not locate the AP1130 enclosure near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. During installation, exercise extreme care not to come into contact with these circuits, whi ch can cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the product, refer to nati onal and local electr ical codes: NFPA (National Fi re Protection Association) 70, National Electrical Code Article 810 (U.S.); Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA 22.1 and Section 5 4 (Canada); and if local or national electrical codes are not available, refer to IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) 364, Part 1 through 7 (other countries).

Do not connect or disconnect antennas or cables from the AP1130 during periods of lightning ac tivity.

Installing the AP1130

You can mount the AP1130 outdoors on a horizontal or vertical pole, or on an indoor or outdoor wall. You can adjust the orientation of the AP1130 for optimum radio transmission. For example, you can mount the AP1130 on a non-penetrating roof stand or to a Winegard bracket, often used for mounting satellite dishes.

Per FCC requirements, do not place this antenna within 26.5" (70 cm) of any people or animals.

To provide unobstructed RF coverage, mount the AP1130 in a relatively open area on a pole, mast, of flat surface so that the antennas have at least a three-foot clearance from any nearby obstructions.

IMPORTANT WATERPROOF CAUTIONS

You mu

: It is extremely important that you have either A) the an tennas tightly installed, or B) antenna connector caps tightly insta lled on the antenna connectors whe n antennas are not being used to ensure the unit is waterproof. You can order antenna connector caps from Aerohive (AH-ACC-1130-CVR-RF).

You must install the waterproof h ousing on the RJ45 co nnector to ensure a waterpro of connection . If you are not using Ethernet cable, always keep the cover on the RJ45 connector to ensure the device is waterproof.

The DC connector cap must be installed when the connector is not in use to ensure the device is waterproof.

There are no serviceable parts inside the AP1130.

Do not open the chassis for any reason

. Opening the

chassis will compromise the waterproof seal and void the warranty.

Make sure that you have all the materials and tools necessary, and familiarize yourself with the safety and site hazard warnings before you install the device. The following figure shows a typical rooftop installation.

For best performance, deploy AP1130 devices at least 100 feet (30.5 m) apart from each other.

Power Connections

In most cases, you can connect an Ethernet cable directly from your AP1130 to a PoE-enabled switch, or to a PoE injector inside the building. You can also connect your AP1130 to a DC power source, such as a battery backup or solar panel. If you are not using a PoE-enabled switch, you must connect to an intermediary PoE injector, then to your switch. In cases where your AP1130 is located a significant distance from the building, you can install an outdoor waterproof PoE injector, available as an accessory. For more information about Aerohive accessories, contact your Aerohive sales representative.

Vertical or Horizontal Pole Mount

The following steps explain how to mount the AP1130 on a vertical or horizontal pole. The pole can be from

1.0 - 2.75 inches (25 to 70 mm) diameter. You can also order a hose strap that will fit poles with a 3" to 15" (76 to 381 mm) diameter (AH-ACC-1130-STRP-3-15).

1. Attach the bracket to the back of the unit for either a vertical or horizontal mount using the four mounting bolts with attached washers. Tighten the bolts with a crosshead screwdriver. Be sure to use the bolts with washers from the plastic bag labeled “Pole Mount and Grounding” as they secure the bracket tightly to the back of the device for pole mounts.

The embossed arrows on the bracket should be pointing up for both a vertical pole mount, and a vertical surface (wall) mount.

2. Thread the open end of the hose strap through the two tabs on the mounting bracket.
