Installing the AP1130
You can mount the AP1130 outdoors on a horizontal or vertical pole, or on an indoor or outdoor wall. You
can adjust the orientation of the AP1130 for optimum radio transmission. For example, you can mount the
AP1130 on a non-penetrating roof stand or to a Winegard bracket, often used for mounting satellite dishes.
To provide unobstructed RF coverage, mount the AP1130 in a relatively open area on a pole, mast, of flat
surface so that the antennas have at least a three-foot clearance from any nearby obstructions.
Aerohive devices must be installed by a professional installer who is certified to install these types of devices and to ensure that they are
properly grounded and meet applicable local and national electrical codes. In the United States of America, wireless devices with N-type
connectors must be installed by a professional installer to satisfy the FCC antenna requirement for a unique connection method.
Do not install the device in an environment where the operating ambient temperature might exceed the recommended ranges.
To comply with radio frequency exposure limits, do not place this antenna within 26.5" (67 cm) of any people or animals.
Changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
For reliable connections in all conditions, especially in wet and windy locations, you must use the Ethernet cable housing.
For products available in the USA/Canada market, for the 2.4 GHz band, only channels 1-11 can be operated. Selection of other channels is
not possible.
Use only attachments and accessories specified by Aerohive.
These devices are not designed or approved for use with power lines other than 110-120V or 220-240 volts, 50/60 Hz, single phase
(depending on the country in which they are being used). Attempting to use these devices on non-approved power lines may have
hazardous consequences.
Do not plug these devices into a filtered power strip or AC line filter.
These devices are not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or with lack of
experience of knowledge unless they are given supervision or instruction concerning use of the devices by a person who is responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the devices.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD damage occurs when electronic components are
improperly handled and can result in complete or intermittent failures. Be sure to follow ESD-prevention procedures when handling
electronic components.
Disconnect all power by turning off the power switch and unplugging the power cord before installing or removing a device, or working
near power supplies.
Reliable grounding of equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct
connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips.)
To protect the AP1130 from lightning, do not place it at the highest point of a building or structure.
During operation, the surfaces of the AP1130 can become hot. Use caution when handling.
Make sure that the AP1130 is connected to a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority if
you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
Do not locate the AP1130 enclosure near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact
with such circuits. During installation, exercise extreme care not to come into contact with these circuits, which can cause serious injury or
death. For proper installation and grounding of the product, refer to national and local electrical codes: NFPA (National Fire Protection
Association) 70, National Electrical Code Article 810 (U.S.); Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA 22.1 and Section 54 (Canada); and if local
or national electrical codes are not available, refer to IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) 364, Part 1 through 7 (other countries).
Do not connect or disconnect antennas or cables from the AP1130 during periods of lightning activity.
Per FCC requirements, do not place this antenna within 26.5" (70 cm) of any people or animals.
