Figure 46: Installing the AP Cover Kit
Step 2
Carefully pull back the flanged wall with screws to pass the cover over the AP. The covers are a snug fit to
the AP.

Grounding the Access Point

The AP must be grounded before connecting power.
In all outdoor installations, you must follow these steps to ground the case properly:
Procedure
Step 1 If using insulated 6-AWG copper ground wire, strip the insulation required for the grounding lug.
Step 2
Use the appropriate crimping tool to crimp the bare 6-AWG copper ground wire to the supplied grounding
lug.
Note
Step 3 Open the anti-corrosion sealant (supplied) and apply a liberal amount over the metal surface called the Ground
Pad, where the ground strap screw holes are located.
Step 4 Connect the grounding lug to the AP grounding screw holes using the supplied two Phillips head screws (M4
x10–mm) with lock washers. Tighten the grounding screw with 22 to 24 lb-in (2.5 to 2.7 Nm) of torque.
Step 5 If necessary, strip the other end of the ground wire and connect it to a reliable earth ground, such as a grounding
rod or an appropriate grounding point on a metal streetlight pole that is grounded.
The grounding lug and hardware used must comply with local and national electrical codes.
