Page 7: Preparing For Installation
Preparing for installation WARNING! Install the AP under the guidance of technical engineers and read this chapter carefully before installation. Examining the installation site Examine the installation site before installation to ensure that the AP will work in a good environment. - Page 8 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. For a piece of angle steel buried in the earth as a grounding conductor, the ground resistance is required to be less than 10 ohms.

Page 12: Mounting The Ap
Mounting the AP The AP can be installed only outdoors. You can mount the AP on a wall or a pole. Mounting bracket Figure2-2 Mounting bracket Mounting the AP on a wall Mark the installation holes on the wall based on the installation hole positions in the AP. Figure2-3 Marking the installation holes on the wall Drill four holes with a diameter of 8 mm (0.32 in) and a depth of 30 mm (1.18 in) at the marked locations. - Page 13 Figure2-4 Hammering an expansion bolt into the wall Hang the mounting bracket on the expansion bolts, and then fasten the screws to secure the mounting bracket to the wall. Figure2-5 Securing the mounting bracket to the wall Remove the fastening (grounding) screw on the AP rear and base.
- Page 14 Figure2-6 Removing the fastening (grounding) screw and base Feed the cables (including the Ethernet cable and power cord) through the triangular hole in the base, and then connect the cables to the AP. For how to connect an Ethernet cable and install a liquid-tight adapter, see "Connecting an Ethernet cable."...
- Page 15 Figure2-7 Connecting a cable to the AP Use the fastening (grounding) screw to secure the base and one end of the grounding cable to the AP. Correctly connecting the grounding cable is crucial to lightning protection and EMI protection. Before connect the power cord to the AP, make sure the AP is reliably grounded. For more information, see "Grounding and lightning protection."...
