1) Install the
mounting
option.
• If using a threaded rod, drill and
install the rod to the verified
position and allow Chemset (or
other suitable adhesive product) to
set.
• If using a different mounting
option, install any required mounts
to the device bracket.
Mesh mounting is only recommended for
temporary installations.
Use the approved detailed design
documents and drawings for
reference when commencing
installation.
Note that an Access Point with standard
bracket weighs approximately 3kg.
For example, see Figure 2 on page
10 and Figure 3 on page 10.
2) Attach the
device.
Attach the Access Point to the
mounting being sure to orientate for
optimal antenna coverage.
Ensure all nuts and bolts are secure.
The device antennas to face downwards.
•
If using threaded rod, attach
the Access Point to the
threaded rod using the
appropriate nuts and washers.
Use lock nuts to prevent the
device from rotating.
• If using a mesh bracket, attach
to the mesh in the verified
position using a minimum of
4x stainless steel cable ties
(one per corner) as nylon can
perish.
3) Check power is
off
Ensure the power cables to be
connected are not live.
4) Install the
cables.
Install power and Ethernet cables per
the detailed design and following the
cable safety and cable precautions.
See Wiring and power on page 4.
If using Minetec cables, no termination is
required as cables are supplied pre-
terminated.
5) Connect the
cables.
Connect the power and/or Ethernet
cables per the detailed design:
• 2-pin connector is power only.
• 8-pin connector is Ethernet.
Rollup the excess cable and cable tie together
according to site procedures.
There are eight connections on the
device. There are 2x power and 2x
Ethernet connections on each side
of the Access Point.
See Cables and connectors on
page 5.
6) Check cables and
connections.
Check all connections, cables and
anchor points.
Do this before connecting to power.
7) Perform power-
on check.
Follow on-site operational and HSE practises
before applying power.
The power source will either be the ICT
cabinet, another Access Point or a
battery (eg if power not yet available).
When power is turned on, all LEDs
should turn solid green to indicate
the device is working correctly and
ready to use. Refer to 4.1.3 on
