Step 9 –Place the access point in the opening of the enclosure (refer to Figure 6) with the access points LED light away from
the key lock. If the key is turned the proper direction, the access point should drop in and self-center itself so that the feet on
the access point falls into the key slots on the mounting plate.
NOTE: If the access point and key slots do not align properly, turn the key 180° and repeat step 5.
Step 10 – After verifying that the access point is properly seated within the opening, turn the key 180° to lock the Access Point
in place. The key should require minimal effort to turn. If excessive force is required to turn the key, verify that the access
point is properly seated within the opening and then re-try turning the key.

the access point should be located within the AP mount so that the LED is
located away from the lock
Please thoroughly read the product warning below
before installation to provide for a safe work
environment.
1. Ceiling mounted products should be installed in accordance with National Electric Code paragraphs 300.10 (Electrical
Continuity of Metal Raceways and Enclosures) and 300.11 (Securing and Supporting). Independent support wires or
other means must be used for the installation of this product in the ceiling. Acoustical, suspended, false, drop and
concealed spline ceiling grid work is not designed to support the weight of this product. Oberon’s ceiling mounted
products have four support wire tabs on the back box. These tabs shall be used for supporting the product with
independent support wires, wire rope, threaded rod, or other secure support means of adequate gauge and fire
resistance.
2. When closing the enclosure access door, be sure that the cam lock is completely engaged to prevent the access door
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 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
replacement.
9. Maximum weight to be installed in the unit is 25 lbs.
10. All knockouts, openings, and holes shall be sealed with a plug constructed of metal, or a non-metal material that
complies with UL 2043 or UL 1479.
11. All unused mounting holes should be sealed with tape or other material that complies with UL 1479.
12. If AC power is used inside the enclosure, connect the ground wire to the green ground screw located near the
knockout in the backbox.

Assembly Components:
- Ceiling AP mount, Model 1065-CCOAP assembly – 1 each
- Recessed Retaining Bracket – 1 each
- #8-32 Screws – 4 each
- #8-32x1/4" Standoffs – 4 each
- Keys for access door lock – 2 each
- 8" Cable tie - 1 each
- Firestop Grommet – 1 each
- 1” Trade Size Conduit Connector – 1 each
- Support Wire – 4 each
If any of these items are missing, contact your Oberon representative.
Find a flat work surface to assemble the ceiling AP mount and access point
prior to mounting in ceiling.
Step 1 – Make a 16.5" x 12" rectangular cutout within the wall or hard lid
ceiling. Mount the enclosure bracket so the mounting holes on the back surface
are on the top half with the open side facing up, and leave sufficient space
above the bracket for the conduit connector and any data/power cables (if
required). If possible, fasten the bracket to studs/joists using four #10 screws
that are at least 2" long. If no permanent structure is available, larger through
holes are available for use of anchors or other suitable hardware to fasten the
bracket (refer to Figure 1). If mounting in the ceiling, use the provided support
wire to secure the bracket to a permanent structure as well (refer to Figure 1).
Installation Instructions
Model Number 1065-CCOAP
NOTE: When using Cisco 3600 and 3700 series access points, mount the access point mounting plate directly to the
enclosure’s mounting plate. When using Cisco 1140, 1600, 2600, and 3500 series access points, you will need to use
the optional standoff kit to have the access point set at the proper height in the enclosure. The standoff kit is Oberon
P/N 39-STANDOFF.
Step 4 – Clip the provided fire stop grommet on to the data and power cable inside the enclosure, and slide the grommet into
the conduit connector so the end is flush with the connector
Step 5 - Optional safety tether: To attach the optional safety tether, insert the included cable tie into the Kensington lock slot at
an angle toward the top of the access point. There is an opening that will allow the cable tie to pass through (reference Figure
4).
Step 6 - Loop the cable tie through the tether anchor located on the mounting plate of the enclosure and lock the cable tie
loosely (reference Figure 5).
**IMPORTANT** - This is an important safety feature that could
prevent human injury or damage to the access point should the unit
become dislodged from the ceiling.
Step 2 – Run the data and power cable (if required) through the conduit
connector located on the top face of the access point enclosure, then install the
enclosure by aligning the shoulder screw through the guide slots so the self
captured screws align with the nuts on the bracket. Tighten the self captured
screws in the back of the enclosure to the mounting holes in the enclosure
bracket (refer to Figure 2).

Step 3 – Install the Cisco
mounting plate using four (4) #832 pan head screws. The
mounting plate should be placed
so that the round portions of the
key slots are located closest to the
enclosure lock (refer to Figure 3).
The Cisco “BRACKET 2” should
be used with all Cisco 1400, 1600,
2600, 3500, 3600 and 3700
Access Points.

Figure 4 – Insert cable tie through Kensington lock slot
Step 7 – Attach data and power cables to the access
point from the front side of the AP mount.
Step 8 – Insert the key into the lock and turn the lock
180° in both directions to determine which way the
slide needs to be moved so that the mounting plate
is located furthest from the key lock.
NOTE: Cisco Access Points are locked into the AP
mount using the key. The turning of the key
activates a cam mechanism that slides the mounting
plate underneath the access point, thus, locking the
feet of the access point into keyhole shaped slots
located on the mounting plate. Once the access
point is installed and the key removed, the access
point is securely mounted in the AP mount and
cannot be removed without the key. Additional
security measures as described in Cisco’s
Installation Guide (i.e. padlocks. security screws,
and security hasp) are not required.
