SC8800-S Access Point
Mounting Guide
This Mounting Guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to
field-install the Ruckus Wireless ZoneDirector SC8800-S access point
(AP), part number 9x1-8800-xxxx.
For detailed information on planning the installation, pointing the
internal GPS antenna, performing a site survey, preparing the
SC8800-S at the depot, and shipping to the field, refer to the ZoneFlex
SmartCell SC8800-S Outdoor Access Point Installation Guide. For
information on operating the SC8800-S, refer to the ZoneFlex Outdoor
Access Point User Guide. Both documents are available at https://
support.ruckuswireless.com.
WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to
install, replace, or service this equipment.
WARNING: Installation of this equipment must comply with local and
national electrical codes.
CAUTION: Make sure that you form a 80mm - 130mm (3”-5”) drip
loop in any cable that is attached to the AP or the building. This will
prevent water from running along the cable and entering the AP or the
building where the cable terminates.
CAUTION: Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets local
and national electrical codes. For additional lightning protection, use
lightning rods and lightning arrestors.
CAUTION: Make sure that proper lightning surge protection
precautions are taken according to local electrical code.
WARNING: Ruckus Wireless strongly recommends that you wear eye
protection before mounting the SC8800-S.

STEP 1: CONNECTING AND SEALING THE RJ-45
C
ABLES
The SC8800-S may use zero, or one or two RJ-45 cables, one for
Ethernet when configured as a Root AP (RAP), and one when the
SC8800-S is supplying PoE out to a peripheral device, such as a small
cell or micro cell radio. When the SC8800-S uses RJ-45 cables,
connect and seal the cables using the M25 data cable glands (B in
Figure 1).
1 Feed the end of the cable through the sealing nut, rubber O-ring,
clamping ring assembly and cable gland base as shown in Figure
2.
CAUTION! THE MINIMUM SOFTWARE REVISION FOR
THE SC8800-S IS ZONEFLEX (ZF) 9.6.1 OR LATER.
DO NOT CONNECT THE SC8800-S TO A RUCKUS
WIRELESS CONTROLLER WITH ZF 9.6.0 OR
EARLIER.

2 Use a wide flat-blade screwdriver to remove the required (RESET/
PoE OUT or PoE IN) blanking cap from the SC8800-S.
3 Connect the cable to the Ethernet port in the SC8800-S.
4 Tighten the cable gland base into the SC8800-S chassis to 7 N.m
or 62 in-lbs.
5 Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber O-ring. Make
sure that the clamping ring assembly fully encloses the rubber Oring.
6 Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber O-ring in the cable
gland base.
7 Hand-tighten the sealing nut.
STEP 2: MOUNTING THE U-JOINT BRACKET TO THE
M
AIN MOUNTING BRACKET
1 Position the U-joint bracket on the main mounting bracket. (Note
the orientation; generally horizontal to allow altitude adjustments.)
Figure 3: U-joint bracket attached horizontally to the main mounting bracket
2 Use four M6 bolt and washer sets (A) to mount the U-joint bracket
(B) to the main mounting bracket (C). Tighten the bolts to 9.5 N.m
(7 ft-lbs).
3 Continue with Step 3a, 3b or 3c.
STEP 3A: ATTACHING THE MAIN MOUNTING
B
RACKET TO A FLAT SURFACE
1 Place the main mounting bracket at the location on the mounting
surface where you want to mount the AP. Use the holes on the
main mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations of the
mounting holes, A for large bolts or B for small bolts.
Figure 4: Main mounting bracket flat surface holes
2 Remove the main mounting bracket from the mounting surface.
3 Drill holes required for the mounting hardware.
4 Attach the main mounting bracket to the flat surface using the
mounting hardware. Note the UP direction.
5 Using the mounting hardware instructions, tighten the hardware to
secure the main mounting bracket.
6 Continue with Step 4.
STEP 3B: ATTACHING THE MAIN MOUNTING
B
RACKET TO A WOODEN POLE
1 Place the main mounting bracket at the location on the mounting
surface where you want to mount the AP. Use the square holes on
the main mounting bracket as a template to mark the locations of
the mounting holes.
Figure 5: Wooden pole mounting hole locations
2 Remove the main mounting bracket from the pole.
3 Drill holes for the M16 (5/8”) carriage bolts as required by the local
pole owner.
4 Attach the main mounting bracket to the flat surface using the
carriage bolts. Note the UP direction.
5 Using carriage bolt nuts, tighten the carriage bolts as required by
the local pole owner to secure the main mounting bracket.
6 Continue with Step 4.
STEP 3C: ATTACHING THE MAIN MOUNTING
B
RACKET TO A METAL POLE
1 Insert the open end of one steel clamp into the upper two slots on
the main mounting bracket, narrow slots (A) for smaller poles or
wide slots (B) for larger poles.
Figure 6: Adjustable clamp slots for a vertical pole
2 Take the other steel clamp and insert it into the lower two slots on
the main mounting bracket.
3 Use the clamps to attach the main mounting bracket to the pole.
Note the UP direction. Tighten the clamps to 3 N.m or 27 in-lbs,
or per manufacturer’s specifications.
Figure 7: Attaching the main mounting bracket to a vertical pole
4 Continue with Step 4.
STEP 4: MOUNTING THE HOOK BRACKET TO THE
U-J
OINT BRACKET
The hook bracket attaches to the U-joint bracket using the M8 bolt
and washer set.
NOTE: The AP can be mounted outdoors in any orientation, as long
as the internal GPS antenna is pointed up or toward a mostlyunobstructed view of the sky.
