AP-7161 Access Point Installation Guide

AP-7161 Grounding Connection

The grounding cable for an AP-7161 must be a #10 gauge wire cross section.The grounding screw is located to the right of the
GE1/POE port above the ground symbol.
The cable can be attached to the unit using one of the three recommended 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 and tighten the screw.
•
Attach a ring lug to the grounding cable and secure it to the unit by tightening the grounding screw.
•
When connecting the grounding cable to the unit, use an 8mm Socket and driver to tighten the grounding screw to between 21.9
and 29.2 inch pounds (lbf-in).

Ethernet and Lightning Protection

When installing an AP-7161, lightning protection should be used on all Shielded CAT-5E Ethernet connections. An outdoor rated
Lightning Protection Unit (LPU) kit such as the Motorola Solutions PTP WB2907AA or the HyperLink AL-CAT6HPJW Lightning
Protector should be used. For more information on Motorola Solutions PTP Lightning Protection Unit, refer to the PTP-LPU
Technical Specifications.

Access Point Placement

Observe the following recommended guidelines to help ensure a successful network deployment:
• Mount the device with the black gore vent down.
• Mounting height for network devices should not exceed 30 to 35 feet. Mounting height should vary to accommodate the
topography of the deployment area, foliage, and other obstructions.
• Devices can be deployed using any of the recommended outdoor Deployment Procedures.
• Line of sight (LoS) guidelines should be given special consideration whenever devices will not be installed in a straight line,
such as deploying devices on alternating sides of a roadway.
