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

- Keys for access door lock – 2 each

- Support Wire – 4 each

- Firestop Grommet – 1 each

- 1” Conduit Fitting – 1 each

If any of these items are missing,
contact your Oberon representative.

ITEMS TO NOTE:

Item 1 – The back side of the enclosure
has a conduit connector that will be
used to bring in the Ethernet cable

Item 2 – Each corner of the back box has a tab with a hole through it. These tabs are to be used to attach the enclosure to a
permanent structure within the ceiling using grid wire or other connecting devices.

Item 3 –The enclosure has a built in
mounting plate, so no additional
mounting hardware is necessary.
Place the key in the lock and turn it
180° in both directions. The mounting
plate needs to be positioned at the
furthest point from the lock in order for
the access point to be installed.

INSTALLATION

Step 1 – Remove the ceiling tile
and replace it with the completed
AP mount assembly.

Step 2 – Use minimum 12-gauge
grid wire to attach the AP mount
to the ceiling. Attach one end of
the wire to the eye tabs and the
other end to a permanent
structure within the ceiling such as
a ceiling joist.

**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 3 – Run the data and power
cable (if required) through the
conduit connectors located on
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 utilizing the two knock­outs provided. 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 block 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.

Step 4 – Attach the Ethernet cables to the access point from the front side of the AP mount.

Figure 3 - Installation of grid wires and Ethernet cable.

NOTE: The Aruba AP225 is 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 slotted bosses located on the bottom of the access
point of the access point into the edges of the enclosure’s 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 (i.e. Kensington lock, etc.) are not required.
