Procedure

Step 1 Assemble the cable clamps to the cable bracket on both cable brackets (see Figure 42: Assembling the AP to

the SMK and Solar Shield, on page 46). Set the height of the cable brackets as required. You should

hand-tighten the cable clamp nuts sufficiently enough to only prevent them from falling off.

Step 2 Install the solar shield over the SMK bracket assembly. See Figure 43: Assembling the cable bracket and

Clamps, on page 47.

We recommend you install the solar shield. However, if the AP's installed location is shaded from

the sun (For example: indoors or under an eave), the solar shield is not required.

Note

Step 3 Secure SMK bracket assembly with two M8 x16 bolts (with flat and lock washers) on the AP's back surface.

Using a 5–mm Hex wrench, tighten the bolts to 13 to 15 lb.-ft (17.6 to 20.3 Nm) of torque.

Step 4 Secure the solar shield with four 8-32 screws. Tighten the screws to 15 lbf-in (17 kgf-cm) of torque.

Step 5 Place the cable bracket, attached to the AP, on the cable strand, with each pair of cable clamps clamping on

to the cable strand. Tighten the cable clamps by tightening the two 5/16”–18 nuts to 13 to 15 lb-ft (17.6 to

20.3 Nm) of torque.

Figure 43: Assembling the cable bracket and Clamps

If needed, reposition the AP on the bracket assembly so it hangs level. Loosen the M8 screws just

enough to move on a slotted hole, then re-tighten the screws to 15 lbf-in (17 kgf-cm) of torque.

Note

Step 6 Connect the data cables, ground the AP, and power the AP.
