Installation Instructions
The following instructions must be carefully observed during installation.
- The system must be installed in a place that is easily accessible for product installation,
cable connections, and maintenance.
- The PoE cable must be always installed away from any electrical interference source
such as power lines, fluorescent lights or transmitters.
- The PoE cable must be CAT 5e or higher.
- When PoE is unavailable, a power adapter (sold separately) can be used.
The 3-pin (including ground) power socket that supplies 100~240 V AC, 50~60 Hz
must be located within 2 m from each equipment and the power must be supplied
through an independent circuit breaker.
It is recommended to use the equipment that uses a filter or a surge protector.
Installation on Ceilings (When the ceiling type is T-bar)
- When incorrectly installed on the ceiling, the WEA524i may drop onto a
person or equipment. Therefore, make sure to fix it firmly.
- If the ceiling type is not T-bar, please refer to the ‘Installation Manual’
provided separately. For this installation manual, please contact the
dealer.
Remove the holding tape that was attached to fix the ceiling clip.
1.
Holding tape
Open the ceiling clip so that it is wider
2.
than the width of the T-bar.
Move the ceiling clip so that it is appropriate for the T-bar width.
3.
Fix the ceiling clip in place by
4.
tightening the 4 designated screws.
Screws for fixing
the ceiling clip
Use a hammer to insert
4.
4 plastic anchors into the
drilled holes on the wall.
Align the inserted plastic
anchors and the screw holes
of the bracket.
Fix the bracket to the wall
by fastening four M4 × L28
screws.
Insert a LAN cable into the Ethernet port
5.
(PoE) on the back side of the WEA524i.
If PoE is not supported, connect
the power adapter to the
DC input on the back of the
WEA524i.
The wall
Fix the T-bar in place by fastening
5.
the screws (total of 2) that are on
the ceiling clip.
If the T-bar size of the ceiling is 15 mm,
24 mm or 38 mm, the position to fix the
ceiling clip can be checked from the
bottom surface of the mount bracket.
If the T-bar size is unknown, push the
ceiling clip to check the fixing positions.
Pull out a LAN cable through a hole on the
6.
ceiling and connect it to an Ethernet port
(PoE) on the back side of the WEA524i.

Installing Anti-Theft Lock Cable
When installing the WEA524i in a public place, it is recommended to use
anti-theft lock cables to prevent any loss. (An anti-theft lock cable can be
purchased separately and a variety of products can be found in the market.)
Connect the anti-theft lock cable to the WEA524i.
1.
or
Turn the lock cable key to lock the cable.
2.
Remove the key from the lock cable and keep it in a separate location.
3.
Using the anti-theft Torx screws
The WEA524i can be prevented from being stolen when tightening the Torx
screws as shown below. (Torx screws can be easily tightening when they
are fixed to the mount bracket before assembling the AP product.)
If PoE is not supported, connect the power adapter to the DC input on the
back side of the WEA524i.
Align the WEA524i with the
7.
3 holes on the mount bracket
and then turn clockwise to fix
it in place. Clean up the ceiling
and other cables.
Installation on Walls
