The Power Injector or Power Tap can be installed free standing, on an even horizontal surface or wall
mounted using the unit's wall mounting key holes. The following guidelines should be adhered to
before cabling the Power Injector or Power Tap to an Ethernet source and an access point:
• Do not block or cover airflow to the Power Injector or Power Tap.
• Keep the unit away from excessive heat, humidity, vibration and dust.
• The Power Injector and Power Tap are not repeaters, and do not amplify the Ethernet data
signal. For optimal performance, ensure the unit is placed as close as possible to the
network data port.

power source (including non-Motorola power sources). However,
using the wrong solution (including a POE system used on a legacy
Motorola access point) could severely damage the access point and
void the product warranty.
Power Tap unit, feed the power cable through the Line AC connector,
secure the power cable to the unit's three screw termination block and
tighten the unit's Line AC clamp (by hand) to ensure the power cable
cannot be pulled from the Power Tap enclosure. Only a certified
