Installation Requirements
The NanoBeam can be mounted on a pole or to a wall. A Metal
Strap (included) is used for pole-mounting. For wall-mounting,
a suitable fastener such as a screw or bolt (not included) is
required.
• Pole-mounting: 7 mm socket wrench or screwdriver
• Wall-mounting: wall fastener (not included)
• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire
should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and
should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE.
We recommend that you protect your networks from
harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events
with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks.
• Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations.

We recommend that you use two Ethernet Surge Protectors,
model ETH-SP, one near the NanoBeam and the other at the
entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power
surges and safely discharge them into the ground.

Compliant
This device complies with Par t 15 of FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following 2 co nditions:
1) this device may not cause harmful inter ference and,
2) this device must accept any interfe rence received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Reset Button
Reset Button To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the
Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the NanoBeam
is powered on. Alternatively, the NanoBeam may be reset
remotely via a Reset button located on the bottom of the
Gigabit PoE Adapter.
Ethernet Port This Gigabit Ethernet port is used to connect
the power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP
server. Power can be provided by any of the following:
Ethernet Port
(10/100/1000 Mbps)
• Gigabit PoE adapter (included)
• Ubiquiti Networks EdgeSwitch®
• Ubiquiti Networks EdgeRouter™ PoE
LEDs
Power The Power LED will light blue when the
device is connected to a power source.
Ethernet The Ethernet LED will light steady blue
when an active Ethernet connection is made and
flash when there is activity.
Signal In airOS®, you can modify the threshold
value for the wireless signal strength LEDs on the
Wireless tab under Signal LED Thresholds. Each LED
will light when the wireless signal strength is equal
to or greater than the LED’s threshold value. The
default threshold values for these LEDs are shown
below:
-94 dBm -80 dBm -73 dBm -65 dBm
Hardware Installation
The NanoBeam can be mounted on a pole or to a wall. Perform
the steps for the appropriate installation:
Note: The NanoBeam can also be mounted inside a
window using the NanoBeam Window Mount, model
NBE-19-WM (sold separately). For instructions, see the
NanoBeam Window Mount Quick Start Guide.
Pole-Mount
1. Insert the Ball Joint Mount into the Lock Ring with the
threads of the Lock Ring facing the ball joint.
2. Open the Metal Strap and feed it through the base of the
Ball Joint Mount.
3. Wrap the Metal Strap around the pole. Use a 7 mm socket
wrench to turn the screw clockwise and securely fasten the
clamp to the pole.
4. Attach the NanoBeam to the Ball Joint Mount and turn the
Lock Ring to secure it. Keep the Lock Ring loose enough to
allow the NanoBeam to pivot for aiming.
Wall-Mount
The NanoBeam must be mounted directly to a wood stud
or other structurally stable surface to avoid damage to the
mounting hole when you adjust the aim.
Optional Accessory
To enhance stability, you can use the NanoBeam Wall Mount
Kit, model NBE-WMK (soldseparately).
Note: Center screw included. Two optional screws (not
included) provide additional stability.
Installation Instructions
1. Mark the desired location of the mounting point.
2. If needed, drill a pilot hole for the fastener (not included).
3. Insert the Ball Joint Mount into the Lock Ring with the
threads of the Lock Ring facing the ball joint.
4. If you are using the optional NanoBeam Wall Mount Kit,
then skip to step b.
a. To attach the Ball Joint Mount to the wall, insert a
fastener (not included) through the center of the ball
joint, and into the wall. Securely tighten the fastener.
Proceed to step 5.
b. To attach the Ball Joint Mount to the wall, insert the Wall
Mount Kit screw through the center of the ball joint,
through the Wall Mount Kit plate, and into the wall.
Securely tighten the screw.
