Preparing for installation
WARNING!
Install the AP under the guidance of technical engineers and read this chapter before installation.
Examining the installation site
The AP is used for outdoor installation. Before installation, examine the installation site to ensure that
the AP will work in a good environment.
Installation site selection
The installation site must be selected according to the network planning and technical requirements
of telecommunications equipment, with factors such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake,
electric power, and transportation taken into consideration.
The location for installing the AP must meet the following requirements:
•
Not exposed to high temperature, dust, harmful gases, electromagnetic interference sources
(high powe radars, radio stations, or electrical substations), unstable voltage, heavy vibration,
and loud noise.
•
Dry, without any leakage, dripping, or dew.
•
Away from inflammable and explosive substances.
•
More than 5 m (16.40 ft) away from 3G and 4G base stations and antennas.
Temperature and humidity requirements

Power supply
The AP uses a power injector for power input. No power injector is provided with the AP. You can
order an H3C PoE power injector to power the AP. See "
Connecting the AP to a PoE injector and the
" for the connection method.
Grounding and lightning protection
The AP must be reliably grounded. Make sure the grounding points of the grounding conductor of the
AP, lightning arrestors, PE wire of the power cord, and antenna support are separate from each other,
make good contact, and are securely connected and treated with corrosion protection.
