T310s Sector Antenna Coverage

The T310s 120-Degree Sector AP is best deployed where
internal antenna directional beamwidths can provide extended
reach and throughput to a 120-degree coverage area. See the
illustrations below for the azimuth and elevation coverage
patterns.

FIGURE 2 Typical AP sector azimuth plane coverage, top view

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 T310s.
