Important Notices To Avoid Falling, Use Safe Procedures When Working At Heights Above Ground • Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation. • Don’t work alone. A friend or co‐worker can save your life if an accident happens. • Use approved non‐conducting ladders and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good repair. • If an enclosure of mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall. • If anything such as an enclosure or mast does come in contact with a power line, DON’T TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. Instead, save your life by calling the power company. • Don’t attempt to install an enclosure on windy days. If a Person Comes In Contact With Electrical Power and Cannot Move Don’t touch that person, or you may be electrocuted.
C). Surge protection is provided on the internal AC outlets, and 3 bulkhead‐mount Reverse Polarity Type‐N Jack form factor lightning protectors are installed for connections to the external antennas. In addition to the AP3620, the solution also includes a PoE power injector, all necessary cables to complete the installation of the AP in the enclosure, and a pole mount kit. Solution Contents The outdoor solution includes the following components: • One Enterasys Wireless 802.11n AP3620 (WS‐AP3620), with wall mounting bracket. One plastic rivet (to secure the AP to the bracket) and other screws are packaged with the wall mounting bracket in a small plastic bag. • One fiberglass enclosure, with PoE adapter, lightning protectors, and cables installed. • One pole mount kit (accommodates poles from 2 to 4 inches in diameter). Note: The kit contains U bolts suitable for 2 to 4 inch diameter poles, but the brackets in the kit have holes that can accommodate smaller U bolts for 1.25 to 2 inch diameter poles. You can supply your own smaller U bolts and attach the enclosure to a smaller diameter pole.

Installation Procedures Figure 2-2 Location of Antenna Connectors on AP3620 3 antenna connectors (Reverse Polarity SMA plugs) Connect the cables attached to the lightning protectors to the antenna connectors (Reverse Polarity SMA plugs) at the top of the AP3620 using the right‐angle SMA connectors on the loose cable ends. Maintain the same right‐to‐left correspondence of the AP’s connectors with the lightning protectors. Caution: If you are not using three external antennas, do not connect the cable attached to an unused lightning protector to any of the antenna connectors on the AP3620. You must attach a terminator cap to any unused connectors on the top of the AP.
Installation Procedures The following procedure describes the steps to install the prepared enclosure outside. Installing the Prepared Enclosure The following procedure assumes that you are installing the enclosure on a pole. If you are installing the enclosure on a wall, use the holes on the top and bottom extensions of the enclosure to bolt the enclosure to the wall and proceed with Step 3 below. To install the prepared enclosure: If you will install the enclosure on a pole, open the pole mount kit box. Attach the pole mount brackets to the top and bottom of the enclosure using the four bolts, nuts, and washers included with the pole mount kit, as shown in Figure 2‐4 below. Set aside the two U bolts and remaining washers and nuts for use in the next step. Figure 2-4 Attaching Pole Mount Brackets Bolts (4) Bracket (2) Washers (8) Nuts (4) Enclosure hole for bracket attachment (4) Place the enclosure on the pole in the desired location and orientation, then slip the two U bolts around the pole and into the holes on the top and bottom brackets. Use the remaining four washers and nuts to tighten the U bolts to hold the enclosure securely on the pole, as shown in Figure 2‐5 on page 2‐6.
Installation Procedures Note: Figure 2-5 also shows the location of the holes that can be used with smaller, customer-supplied U bolts to attach the enclosure to a 1.25 to 2 inch diameter pole. Figure 2-5 Attaching Enclosure to Pole Nuts (4) Pole Washers (4) U bolts (2)
