Installation

IMPORTANT NOTE: The device must be professionally installed and must use the

supplied antennae.

The unit is designed for outdoor use and may be attached to either a pole or wall. A waterproof connector is supplied to ensure a watertight seal for connecting the Ethernet cable to the device.

Note: The included PoE injector and surge protector must be mounted indoors, as they

are not weatherproof.

To mount the device on a wall

1. Using the wall-mount base as a template, mark the location of the mounting bolt holes on a ﬂat wall surface.

2. Drill the mounting holes in the marked locations.

3. Fasten the wall-mount base securely to the back of the unit using the provided

mounting screws.

4. Attach the unit and base assembly to the wall using the provided concrete mounting

bolts.

5. Securely tighten the mounting bolts.

Antennae

The FortiAP 222C unit provides dual concurrent radio signals. Use the top antenna mounts to access the Radio 1 (802.11 b/g/n at 300Mbps) signals, and the bottom antenna mounts (near the waterproof PoE connector) to access the Radio 2 (802.11 a/n/ac at 867Mbps) signals. To use both radio frequencies concurrently, use all four WiFi

antennae.

To Install the WiFi antennae

1. Insert the antenna base ﬁrmly into the appropriate antenna mount.

2. Securely hand tighten the fastening collar.

3. Repeat for the remaining antennae.

Waterproof Panel

Cabling

The unit requires 48V DC power, which is delivered by the PoE injector, through the

surge protector, over a straight-through Ethernet cable.

To install the weatherproof connector

1. Unscrew the coupling ring from the waterproof connector, remove the sealing gland, and thread the RJ-45 plug through the connector components.

Connector

2. Insert the RJ-45 plug into the PoE port on the unit and install the weatherproof panel

connector onto the threaded coupling at the port.

3. Slide the sealing gland along the cable into panel connector.

4. Thread the coupling ring onto the panel connector and tighten it until the sealing

gland is compressed, making a watertight seal on the cable.

To FortiAP

Injector

Connections

Adequate grounding must be provided to the FortiAP unit, the PoE injector, and the surge protector; grounding lugs and cables are provided for this purpose. Consult a

certiﬁed electrician to ensure that all grounding and cabling is installed in compliance

with the local electrical code.

Use an exterior-grade or direct burial CAT5 Ethernet cable for connecting the outdoor unit to the surge protector. Use the supplied weatherproof connector to ensure a tight seal at the PoE port on the unit.

Note: The PoE injector and surge protector units are not weatherproof and must

be mounted indoors. They should be mounted as close together as possible.

To wire the surge protector

1. Remove the cover of the surge protector using an appropriate screwdriver.

2. Connect the ground wire with the spade lug connector to the grounding post between the two ethernet connectors.

3. Connect the straight-through Ethernet cable that will connect to the FortiAP unit to the Ethernet port on the right side of the surge protector.

4. Connect the straight-through Ethernet cable that will connect to the PoE injector the Ethernet port on the left side of the surge protector.

5. Ensure that the cables comfortably pass through the provided slots on the front of the surge protector.

6. Replace the cover onto the surge protector using an appropriate screwdriver.
