Install the Access Point
Installation Do's and Don'ts
Learn about various do's and don'ts for each installation option before installing the access point.
Ensure that you orient the access point properly for pole or under seat installation. The best practice
is to follow the guidelines to ensure water drainage from access point radome and to prevent extreme
water damage:
Note
If you do not follow the recommended orientation, ensure that your access point is not
installed in a location where there is exposure to precipitation, freezing weather, or pressure
washing.
Installation Don'ts
•
Do NOT install the access point radome side with the user I/O facing upward toward the sky.
•
Do NOT install an access point or open a console cap, when it is going to precipitate or is
precipitating.
•
Do NOT remove the gland body. If you accidentally loosen the gland body, immediately torque it to
30 in-lbs.
•
Do NOT remove the vent or its protective cap.
•
Do NOT allow moisture, dirt, pollen, or any other external debris to enter the glands or console.
•
Do NOT get a pressure washer nozzle closer than 24 inches to the glands, console cap, or vent.
Installation Do's
Orientation:
•
Orient the access point as recommended for wall, pole, girder, under-seat, or under-bench
applications.
•
The side with the glands can be horizontal facing down, facing to the left or right, or anything
in-between.
User input/output:
•
Only the gland caps must be removed to install the GE1 or GE2 LAN RJ45. The gland caps must be
torqued between 8 in-lbs. and 10 in-lbs.
•
The LAN cables must have a minimum radius of 1 inch and a 3 inch drip loop using gravity to carry
any liquid away from the glands.
•
The console cap must be removed to install the console LAN RJ45. When the console cap is
replaced, torque it to 13 in-lbs. to 16 in-lbs.
•
Torque the ground screw to a minimum of 7 in-lbs. and a maximum of 12 in-lbs.
Power or pressure washer scenario:
•
Maintain a minimum distance of 24 inches between the pressure washer nozzle and the access point.
Note
Ensure that you use a 3/8 inch wide flat head screwdriver to help avoid marks on the
console cap screwdriver slot.
