Flat Surface Installation
The following steps explain how to mount the AP1130 on a flat surface or wall. You will need the mounting
bracket and the four bolts without washers in the plastic bag labeled “Wall Mount”. You will also need four
mounting screws and wall mount anchors (not included) that are appropriate for the wall type where you
are installing the unit.
1. Use the bracket as a template to mark the location of the mounting holes on the wall.
2. Drill a hole into the wall at each mark. Attach the bracket to the wall using the appropriate mounting
screws and anchors for the wall type.
3. Insert the bolts without washers from the plastic bag labeled “Wall Mount” into the four mounting holes
on the back of the device.
4. Insert the heads of the bolts on the device into the large end of the bracket keyholes and slide the
device down until the bolts rest in the narrow end of the keyholes.
5. Tighten the locking screws to secure the device to the wall mount bracket.
6. Connect the terminal on one end of the grounding cable to the grounding lug on the device and
connect the other end of the cable to an appropriate ground, as shown in Step 5 on page 6.
Attaching External Antennas
Once you have grounded your AP1130, you are ready to connect the antennas.
Use antennas that fit the N-type antenna connectors on the top and bottom of the AP1130. The two
connectors on the bottom of the unit are for 2.4 GHz antennas, and the two on the top of the unit are for 5
GHz antennas (device and antennas are labeled).
Screw the antennas onto the antenna connectors, turning them clockwise and tightening with your fingers
until they are secure.
When you are not using the antennas, always cover the antenna connectors with antenna connector caps
to protect the connectors and meet IP67 compliance requirements.
If you are not installing the device on a concrete wall, you can use threaded screws and plastic wall
anchors (not supplied) to mount the device.
It is extremely important to properly ground your device to complete your installation.
Finger-tighten the antennas to the connectors only, do not use tools or your wrist. If you over-tighten the
antennas on the connectors, you can compromise the waterproof seal.
In the United States of America, wireless devices with N-type connectors must be installed by a
professional installer to satisfy FCC antenna requirements for a unique connection method.
