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.

STEP 1: CONNECTING AND SEALING THE RJ-45

ABLE

The AP uses one RJ-45 cable for Power over Ethernet (PoE). Connect and seal the cable using the M25 data cable gland (B in Figure 1).

1 Feed the end of the RJ-45 cable through the sealing nut (D in

Figure 2), rubber sealing insert (C in Figure 2), clamping ring assembly (B in Figure 2) and cable gland base (A in Figure 2).

Figure 2: RJ-45 cable and cable gland assembly

2 Use a wide flat-blade screwdriver to remove the blanking cap

from the AP.

3 Connect the cable to the Ethernet port in the AP. 4 Tighten the cable gland base into the AP chassis to 7 N.m or

62 in-lbs.

5 Wrap the clamping ring assembly around the rubber sealing

insert. Make sure that the clamping ring assembly fully encloses the rubber sealing insert.

6 Seat the clamping ring assembly and rubber sealing insert in

the cable gland base.

7 Hand-tighten the sealing nut. 8 Continue with Step 2a: Attaching the Hanger Mount to a Flat

Surface or Step 2b: Attaching the Hanger Mount to a Metal Pole.

STEP 2A: ATTACHING THE HANGER MOUNT TO A

LAT SURFACE

1 Hold the hanger mount (D in Figure 1) at the location on the

mounting surface where you want to mount the AP. Use the holes on the hanger mount as a template to mark the locations of the mounting holes.

2 Remove the hanger mount from the mounting surface. 3 Drill holes required for the customer-supplied mounting

hardware.

4 Attach the hanger mount to the flat surface using the

mounting hardware.

5 Using the mounting hardware instructions, tighten the

hardware to secure the hanger mount.

NOTE: Hanger mount shown attached vertically to allow AP

elevation adjustments. Attach the hanger mount vertically to allow AP azimuth adjustments.

6 Continue with Step 3: Assembling the AP Mounting Bracket

and the AP.

STEP 2B: ATTACHING THE HANGER MOUNT TO A

ETAL POLE

1 Insert the open end of one steel clamp (H in Figure 1) into the

upper two slots on the hanger mount (D in Figure 1).

2 Take the other steel clamp and insert it into the lower two slots

on the hanger mount.

3 Use the clamps to attach the hanger mount to the pole (the

clamps can be daisy-chained together to accommodate larger poles). Tighten the clamps to 3 N.m or 27 in-lbs, or per manufacturer’s specifications if the supplied clamps are not used.

NOTE: Hanger mount shown attached horizontally to allow AP

azimuth adjustments. Attach the hanger mount vertically to allow AP elevation adjustments.

4 Continue with Step 3: Assembling the AP Mounting Bracket

and the AP.
