1.8.1 Precautions

Before installing an AP-7562 Access Point, verify the following grounding and lightning protection guidelines:
• The installation professional should be familiar with all grounding requirements and regional codes and
ensure the Access Point and mounting asset are properly grounded. The grounding cable for an AP-7562
must be at a minimum a #10 gauge wire cross section. The cable can be attached to the unit using one
of the following methods:
• Loosen the grounding screw, insert the grounding cable into the hole below it, and tighten the screw.
• Loosen the grounding screw, wind the grounding cable around it, and tighten the screw.
• Attach a ring lug to the grounding cable and secure it to the unit using the grounding screw.
• To properly attach the grounding cable to the Access Point, refer to
page 17.
• For Ethernet and lightning protection, it is recommended that a commercially available off-the-shelf
Lightning Protection Unit (LPU) be used on all shielded CAT5E Ethernet connections. The LPU should be
rated for outdoor use.
• For the best possible protection, each Access Point requires an LPU be installed adjacent to the Access
Point. If there is a LAN connection to an indoor network, a second LPU is required at the cable entry
point to the building.
CAUTION
• Verify the deployment environment has a continuous temperature range compatible with the operating
temperature range of the device.
Lightning damage is not covered under the conditions of a standard product
warranty. When installed correctly, Lightning Protection Units (LPUs) provide the
best protection from the harmful effects of lightning. Observe all regional and
national codes that apply for lightning protection.
