Installing the Access Point in Hazardous Locations
Step 6
Insert the ground wire into the provided ground lug and use a crimping tool to secure the connection.
Step 7
Install the ground lug and tighten the connection with a Phillips screwdriver. To prevent stripping the
screw threads, do not overtighten.
Note
Use the short screw (0.188 in. long, or 4.77 mm long) included in the Hazardous Location
Mounting Kit (AIR-1520 HAZLOC KIT) to connect the ground lug to the chassis. Using one of
the three longer screws (0.31 in. long, or 7.87 mm long) in the kit can damage the electronics
under the connection point.
Step 8
Insert each hot wire into the AC entry terminal block.
Step 9
Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the terminal block set screws to secure the wires in the terminal
block.
Step 10
Verify that no bare wire is exposed. If wire is exposed, remove it from the terminal block, adjust the
length, and reinstall.
Step 11
Check your work.
Step 12
Reinstall the AC entry module top cover and tighten the captive screws. Do not overtighten.
Step 13
Close the access point’s hinged cover. See the
“Closing the Access Point Hinged Cover” section on
page 37
for details.
Step 14
Install the Ethernet backhaul cable. See the next section for instructions.
Closing the Access Point Hinged Cover
To close the access point cover, follow these steps:
Step 1
When closing the access point cover, be careful not to pinch internal wires.
Step 2
Carefully position the cover flush with all sides of the access point, then slowly hand-tighten each bolt.
Step 3
When all bolts are hand-tightened, use a 13 mm closed-end wrench or socket to partially tighten the bolts
in the tightening sequence shown in
Figure 44
. Tighten each bolt to 3 to 4 ft lbs (0.34 to 0.45 Nm).
Step 4
Repeat
Step 3
using the same tightening sequence to fully tighten each bolt to 6 to 7 ft lbs
(0.68 to 0.79 Nm).
