Find a flat work surface to assemble the enclosure and any other network/cellular components prior to mounting in ceiling.

Step 1 – Place the enclosure assembly back side down on the work surface and keyed doorway unlocked. Remove the desired number of
hole plugs on the sides and door of the enclosure if they are already installed.

**IMPORTANT** - Determine the correct access point installation method based on the manufacturer.

Step 2a – (For Cisco AP’s Only) The mounting holes for Cisco AP’s are located in the mounting plate. Standard Cisco mounting brackets

as well as “Bracket 2” can be attached so the “Cisco” logo of the AP is parallel to the hinge. For “Bracket 1” the logo of the AP will be
mounted perpendicular to the hinge. Securely fasten the access point’s mounting plate to the mounting holes on the mounting plate of the
enclosure using four (4) # 8 screws. Attach the Access Point to the mounting plate (Figure 1).

Step 2b – (Any manufacturer’s access points) Install the provided
“T-Bar” bracket by fastening two (2) #8-32 nuts onto the studs at the
bottom of the enclosure. Attach the access point to the T-Bar bracket
using the manufacturer’s instructions for attaching the access point to
a ceiling tile grid (T-Bar). (Figure 2).

Figure 2

Step 3 – (Optional) With the desired number of holes opened, attach
antennas (such as Oberon’s BMANT or DMDUAL) and DAS antennas by
inserting the cables through the door holes. Fasten the antennas to the door
per the antenna manufacturer’s instructions. To retain the water and dust
resistance of the enclosure, antennas should have a gasket to fill the
opening. After installation, connect the RF coax cable from the antenna to
the access point (Figure 3). If using Bulkhead connectors, use Oberon
Bulkhead connectors with provided o-ring (P/N 35-NFBLKHD) to maintain
water tightness.

The assembled unit is now ready for ceiling or wall installation.

Step 4 – Run the data and power cable (if required) through the

conduit connectors which have been installed in sides of the
access point enclosure. In order to maintain a separation of
signal and power, install the data and power cables through
opposite sides of the enclosure. Snap the fire stop grommet
around the cable and insert it into the conduit connector and pull
the data cable through far enough to allow attachment to the
access point (8" - 10"). Attach any additional data cables as
necessary and power up the networked devices.

** IMPORTANT** - This is an important safety

feature that could prevent human injury or damage to
the equipment should the unit become dislodged from
the ceiling.

Step 8 – Use hanger wires (included) to support the enclosure.
Attach one end of the wire to the mounting brackets located
along the edge of the back box and the other end to a permanent
structural component of the building such as a joist. Two
supporting grid wires should be attached to each corner.

NOTE: Additional sealing precautions around edges of the enclosure may be necessary.

Figure 5 – Snap the Firestop Grommet around the Data Cable and pull through the Conduit Connector as shown.

Step 9 – Close and lock the access door. Extra force may be
necessary to compress the gasket. The installation is now
completed.
