Red-M 1000AP getting started guide
8
To mount on a ceiling or wall:
1. Select a location on a ceiling or wall to mount the
1000AP (we recommend mounting on a ceiling).
2. Ensure the ceiling or wall can support the 1000AP’s
weight (around 250 g or 8.5 oz). If in doubt, consult
a licensed installer.
3. Install the Category 5 Ethernet cable according to
whether you decided to ‘star-wire’ or ‘daisy-chain’
the 1000AP’s cabling (see Connecting the cables on
page 9). Ensure these and the power cable emerge
at the correct point (see Figure 1 on page 7).
4. Use the mounting bracket as a template to mark out
drill positions.
5. Drill two holes (43 mm apart) using a 5.5 mm drill
bit. Ensure the two holes are vertically aligned if
mounting on a wall. The holes must be 75 mm from
the cabling hole in the wall or ceiling to ensure a
flush fitting (60 mm from the mounting bracket’s
edge).
6. Insert suitable fastenings into the holes (e.g. wall
plugs).
7. Position the mounting bracket over the two holes
and insert the appropriate screws.
8. Connect the cables from the hole in the ceiling/wall
to the 1000AP.
9. Slide the 1000AP over the mounting bracket until it
fits into the groove. Continue sliding until it locks
into place.
