developed by Sundray. It adopts the 2x2 MIMO technology and supports dual-band of
802.11ac/a/n and 802.11b/g/n and the maximum transmission rate can reach up to 600Mbps.
AP-S800 adopts the Gigabit port for uplink, ensuring high-speed wireless transmission. It
supports PoE, which makes deployment of AP-S800 much easier.
AP-S800 is designed with the shell of the IP 68 protection level and supports waterproof,
dampproof, dustproof, fireproof, and sun protection features. The shell can protect AP-S800
against harsh weather and outdoor environment. This ensures that AP-S800 can work in both
damp and cold areas. Additionally, AP-S800 supports point-to-point and point-to-multipoint
bridge functions, which boosts the feasibility of outdoor network construction. By working with
Sundray network access controller(NAC), AP-S800 makes access experience faster and more
secure.
AP-S800 is designed for outdoor environment, such as scenic spots, schools and parks, etc. It
provides four N-type external antenna interfaces. Omnidirectional or directional antenna can be
selected based on the actual environment.
1.1 Product Appearance

    Sundray Wireless AP-S800 Installation Guide coiled. Outdoor The antenna support should be grounded. antenna A grounding lead-in is a metal conductor connecting a grounding net and a grounding strip. The grounding cable of the AP should be connected to the grounding strip. The grounding lead-in must be 30 meters or shorter. A Grounding piece of zinc-coated flat steel with a cross-section area of 40mm × 4 mm or lead-in 50mm × 5 mm is recommended. Connect the grounding strip and the grounding lead-in of the AP through the yellow and green grounding cable with an area of 35mm², or weld them directly. Take anti-erosion measures against the welding joint. Earth resistance should be less than 5 ohms. In an area with a higher earth resistance, reduce the earth resistance by using resistance reducing agent Grounding around the earthing conductor. resistance The top of the earthing conductor should be at least 0.7 meter away from the ground surface. In cold areas, the earthing conductor should be buried below the frozen soil layer. Use a shielded twisted pair cables for an AP deployed outdoors. Ensure that Network cable the devices at the two ends of the cable are well grounded. If a metal tube is used, the two ends of the tube should be grounded. 2.3 Installation Tools The following tools are required for installation of the AP-S800 series products and should be provided by customers(Sundray does not provide the following tools).
