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 internal mounting
plate if needed and the desired number of knockouts on the sides and door of the enclosure.

Figure 2

**IMPORTANT** - The brackets must be assembled in the order shown to maintain a watertight seal.

Step 2 – Flip the enclosure to one of its sides. Remove the rubber hole plugs located on the under side of the enclosure. Attach the

mounting brackets (Figure 1) per the provided Assembly Instructions. Place the back side of the enclosure down on the work surface. If
previously removed, install the mounting plate again with its respective hardware.

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

Step 3a – (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) # 8-32 self tapping screws. Attach the Access Point to the mounting plate (Figure 2).

Step 4 – (Optional) With the desired number of knockouts opened, attach
antennas (such as Oberon’s BMANT or DMDUAL) and DAS antennas by
inserting the cables through the door knockouts. 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 4). 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 3b – (Any manufacturer’s access points) Install
the provided “T-Bar” bracket by fastening two (2) #8-32
self tapping screws into the enclosure mounting plate.
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 3).

Step 5 – 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. Wrap the fire stop foam around
the cable and insert foam into the conduit connector and pull the
data cable through far enough to allow attachment to the access
point (8" - 10"). Carefully tighten conduit connector around fire
stop foam just enough to fill in gaps around cable. Be careful not
to over tighten and crush the data cable(s), as this can affect
cable performance. 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

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

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

tighten and crush the Ethernet cable(s).

supporting grid wires should be attached to each corner.

from accidentally swinging open.

3. When opening the enclosure door, be sure to support the door to prevent the door from accidentally falling open.

4. This enclosure has a maximum operating ambient of 55º C (131º F), the temperature within the enclosure may not
exceed this temperature, depending on power dissipation within enclosure.

5. A minimum air clearance of 1“ between the housing of the access point and the enclosure side walls must be
maintained for the safe operation of the equipment.

6. This product is intended to be installed by trained personnel.

7. Only Listed ITE products and Listed AC Receptacles shall be installed within the enclosure.

8. This product is to be repaired by personnel trained by the manufacturer or returned to the manufacturer for repair or
