Installing the 7782 Access Point in the Field
Verifying Access Point Operation
Powering the 7782 with AC
1. Collect required tools and supplies:
• An outdoor-rated three-wire (1-2mm
2
or 14-18AWG) AC cable that is long enough
to connect the AP with the AC power source.
• A wire stripper.
• A pair of long-nose pliers.
• A small flat-blade screwdriver.
• A ruler (for measuring the stripped portion of the AC cable).
2. Remove the small plastic bag that contains the AC cable connector from the AP
package.
3. Separate the AC cable connector parts by unscrewing the boot from the cable gland
and the cable gland from the connector housing. See Figure 32
.
4. Feed the end of the AC cable through the boot and cable gland.
5. Strip the AC cable as shown in Figure 32
.
6. Insert the stripped part of the conductors into the appropriate terminals on the
connector housing. The conductors are color-coded and must be connected to the
appropriate terminals as shown in Figure 32
. See Tab le 7 for typical AC wire colors.
NOTE: The color coding of wire conductors varies by region. Before completing this step,
check your local wiring standards for guidance.
7. Using a small screwdriver, tighten the small screws around the connector housing to
fix the connector pins into the terminals.
