Comments
1) Install the
mounting option.
Confirm 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.
For example, see Figure 7 on page
15 and Figure 8 on page 15.
2) Attach the device.
Attach the Bridge to the mounting
point being sure to orientate
correctly with the antenna facing
down.
• 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 stainless steel
cable ties as nylon can perish.
3) Check power is off
Ensure the power cables to be
connected are not live.
4) Install the cables.
Run the cable to the nearest
planned Access Point and secure
with cable ties. 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 two connections on the
device. There is one power and one
Ethernet connection.
