Installation Requirements • 7 mm socket wrench or screwdriver • Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE. We recommend that you protect your networks from harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events with industrial‑grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti Networks. For more details, visit www.ubnt.
Application Examples The LiteBeam AC mounted outdoors with the reflector installed provides directional outdoor coverage (gain reflector‑dependent). The LiteBeam AC mounted outdoors without the reflector installed provides outdoor-to-indoor coverage using the 3 dBi Antenna Feed only.
Hardware Overview Bottom View Technology LEDs Reset Button Ethernet Port Antenna Feed Reflector Assembly Securing Arms Port Cover Feed Receiver Elevation Mount Azimuth Mount
LEDs Ethernet The LED will light steady blue when an active Ethernet connection is made and flash when there is activity. Power The LED will light blue when the device is connected to a power source. Button Reset To reset to factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button for more than 10 seconds while the LiteBeam AC is powered on. The LiteBeam AC may also be reset remotely using the auxiliary Reset button located on the bottom of the Gigabit PoE adapter.
Hardware Installation The LiteBeam AC was designed for outdoor use and quick mounting on a pole. 1. Assemble the antenna reflector by attaching the Side Reflector Panels to the Center Reflector Panel: a. Insert the heads of the two mounting studs on the Center Reflector Panel into the large opening of the slotted holes of the Side Reflector Panel. b. Slide the Side Reflector Panel down until the top edges of the panels align.
2. Hold the reflector assembly by hand (do not use a tabletop or flat surface) and insert the Feed Receiver into the reflector assembly to secure the panels: a. Align the arrows on the Center Reflector Panel and the Feed Receiver, and insert both edges of the Side Reflector Panels and Center Reflector Panels into the Securing Arms of the Feed Receiver. b. Insert the Feed Receiver into the Center Reflector Panel by pressing the top and bottom snap hooks into the slots of the Center Reflector Panel.
WARNING: Do not install the Feed Receiver into the reflector assembly by pushing down onto a tabletop or other flat surface as this can deform the panels. Hold the reflector assembly by hand. c. For additional support, there are eight machine screws that secure the Side Reflector Panels to the antenna assembly.
3. Insert the Antenna Feed into the Feed Receiver until the feed locks into place. 4. Turn the Port Cover counterclockwise to reveal the Ethernet Port on the Antenna Feed.
5. Take one end of an Ethernet cable and push it through the rubber housing on the Port Cover and connect it to the Ethernet Port. 6. Reattach the Port Cover to the Feed Receiver by turning it clockwise until it is secure.
Pole Mounting 1. Attach the Elevation Mount to the Feed Receiver by lining up the notches with the pins on the Feed Receiver and pressing forward until the Elevation Mount snaps on. 2. Using the Wingnut Kit, install the carriage bolt and hex head cap through the Elevation Mount and loosely fasten the carriage nut and nylock nut. 3. Open the Metal Strap and feed it through the slot of the Azimuth Mount.
4. Wrap the Metal Strap around the pole. Use a 7 mm socket wrench or screwdriver to turn the screw clockwise and securely fasten the strap to the pole. 5. Attach the Elevation Mount to the Azimuth Mount as shown below. Do not tighten the Wingnuts completely until the LiteBeam assembly has been adjusted and aimed properly.
6. Aim the LiteBeam toward the other end of the wireless link. Use the bubble level on the back of the Feed Receiver to ensure proper level alignment. 7. Lock the aim by hand‑tightening the Wingnuts clockwise on both the Elevation Mount and the Azimuth Mount.
Connect the power using one of the following options: • Using the included Gigabit PoE Adapter: Go to Connecting to the PoE Adapter. • Using a separate PoE switch: Connect the Ethernet cable from the LiteBeam’s Ethernet port to a PoE-enabled Ethernet port on the switch. WARNING: The switch port must comply with the power specifications listed in the Specifications section of this Quick Start Guide. Connecting to the PoE Adapter 1.
