Precautions; Warnings - Extreme Networks AP-7562 Installation Manual

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 Grounding Post on
Page 14.
• 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.
• Verify the deployment environment has a continuous temperature range compatible
with the operating temperature range of the device.

Warnings

• This equipment is designed to operate in ambient temperatures up to 70°C. When
operating in elevated ambient temperatures, the surface of the equipment may exceed
70°C and become too hot to safely touch. Under this condition, this product must be
installed in a secured location that is not accessible to accidental touch, and access to
the device must be restricted to service persons or users who possess the proper tool or
key to access the device and have been informed about the potential high surface
temperatures and instructed on how to safely handle and/or service the device.
• Read all installation instructions and site survey reports, and verify correct equipment
installation before connecting the Access Point to its power source.
• Remove jewelry and watches before installing this equipment.
• Verify the unit is grounded before connecting it to the power source.
• Verify any device connected to this unit is properly wired and grounded.
• Connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical circuit. Verify the
electrical circuits have appropriate overload protection.
• Attach only approved power cords to the device.
• Verify the power connector and socket are accessible at all times during the operation of
the equipment.
• Do not hold any component containing a radio such that it is very close to or touching
any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
• Do not work with power circuits in dimly lit spaces.
