0% RH to 100% RH, noncondensing Power supply You can power the AP by using a power injector. No power injector is provided with the AP. You can use an H3C power injector. See "Connecting the AP to a power injector" for the connection method.
Grounding and lightning protection The AP must be reliably grounded. Make sure the grounding points of the grounding conductor of the AP, lightning arresters, PE wire of the power cord, and antenna support are separate from each other, make good contact, and are securely connected and treated with corrosion protection. Ground resistance The ground resistance is typically required to be less than 5 ohms, and less than 10 ohms in an area with less than 20 thunderstorm days a year.
Installation accessories Figure 1-1 lists the installation accessories provided with the AP. Figure 1-2 lists the installation accessories to be prepared by users. Figure 1-1 Installation accessories provided with the AP Figure 1-2 Installation accessories to be prepared by users Installation tools When installing the AP, you might need the following tools.
Installing the AP IMPORTANT: • To ensure radio coverage, have the AP installed by technical personnel as a best practice. • You can mount the AP on a pole or wall and route the cables in the pole or wall. The figures in the following installation procedures are for illustration only.

Figure 2-2 Attaching the cable to the AP Fasten the sealing nut, and then use a cable clip to secure the cable to the base of the AP. Figure 2-3 Securing the cable to the AP Connecting the grounding cable CAUTION: •...
Attach the ring terminal to the grounding cable. Figure 2-4 Attaching the ring terminal to the grounding cable 5 mm Grounding cable Ring terminal Heat shrink tube (0.20 in) Feed the ring terminal-end of the grounding cable through the base and then use the grounding screw to attach the ring terminal to grounding point on the AP.
Connecting Ethernet cables IMPORTANT: • Use Category-5e or above Ethernet cables only. As a best practice, use shielded twisted pair (STP) cables. • The all-in-one cable provides the following ports in ascending order of the cable length, with one port on each cable: 10GE/PoE++ port, GE1 port, GE2/PSE port, and console port. Each port has a label for identification.
Pole-mounting the AP by using the provided pole-mounting IMPORTANT: To pole-mount the AP by using the pole-mounting kit provided with the AP, make sure the pole diameter is in the range of 50 to 75 mm (1.97 to 2.95 in). Mounting the AP on a vertical pole Secure the base of the pole to the rooftop or a concrete pier block by using expansion bolts.

Figure 2-9 Securing the AP to the vertical pole As shown by callout 1 in Figure 2-10, use a T8 Torx screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the base so that the AP can rotate. Rotate and adjust the AP until the bubble in the level is in the middle. Fasten the two screws on the base to fix the rotation shaft of the AP.
Figure 2-11 Securing the AP to the horizontal pole As shown by callout 1 in Figure 2-12, use a T8 Torx screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the base so that the AP can rotate. Rotate and adjust the AP until the bubble in the level is in the middle. Fasten the two screws on the base to fix the rotation shaft of the AP.

Mounting the AP on a vertical pole Use the long bolts to secure the pole-mounting brackets to the pole. Figure 2-13 Securing the pole-mounting brackets to the pole Insert two hex screws into the installation holes at the top of the pole bracket. Do not drive the screws all the way in, leaving a certain space for hanging the AP.
Page 20
Figure 2-15 Hanging the AP on the pole-mounting brackets Insert the other two hex screws into the installation holes at the bottom of the AP base and then fasten the screws to secure the AP to the pole-mounting brackets. As shown by callout 1 in Figure 2-16, use a T8 Torx screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the base so that the AP can rotate.

Figure 2-17 Securing the pole-mounting brackets to the pole Insert two hex screws into the installation holes at the right of the bracket. Do not drive the screws all the way in, leaving a certain space for hanging the AP. Figure 2-18 Inserting hex screws to the pole-mounting brackets Hang the AP on the pole-mounting brackets by aligning the keyhole slots with the hex screws, and then fasten the screws.
As shown by callout 1 in Figure 2-20, use a T8 Torx screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the base so that the AP can rotate. Rotate and adjust the AP until the bubble in the level is in the middle. Fasten the two screws on the base to fix the rotation shaft of the AP.

Figure 2-21 Installing band clamps Fasten the screw on each band clamp to secure the AP to the pole. As shown by callout 1 in Figure 2-22, use a T8 Torx screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the base so that the AP can rotate. Rotate and adjust the AP until the bubble in the level is in the middle.
Figure 2-23 Installing band clamps Fasten the screws on each band clamp to secure the AP to the pole. As shown by callout 1 in Figure 2-24, use a T8 Torx screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the base so that the AP can rotate. Rotate and adjust the AP until the bubble in the level is in the middle.

Figure 2-25 Custom pole To install the AP on a custom pole: Connect the cables of the AP to the Ethernet cables from the pole and put the cables into the pole. Figure 2-26 Connecting cables Drive two hex screws into the installation hole at the top of the pole-mounting brackets. Do not fasten the screws all the way in, leaving a certain space for hanging the AP.
Figure 2-27 Securing the AP As shown by callout 1 in Figure 2-28, use a T8 Torx screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the base so that the AP can rotate. Rotate and adjust the AP until the bubble in the level is in the middle. Fasten the two screws on the base to fix the rotation shaft of the AP.
