Prepare the Mounting Location
The installation must ensure that the AP is grounded to earth ground to dissipate any static
electric charge that may develop due to wind.
Determine a good electrical earth ground point near the
AP mounting location. If an earth ground point is not
available, consult an electrician to have one installed. To
reach the AP, the installer must use wire of the same
gauge as the supplied grounding wire. Allow for some
extra length in a service loop.
Before the AP is mounted to a wall or pole, loosen the
grounding screw (indicated by the ground symbol) on the back of the unit (see image at left
and on
page 6
). Attach the supplied grounding wire and lug as shown and fasten the screw
securely.
Mount the AP on a Pole or Wall

4a—Pole Mounting
Two metal bands are supplied for pole attachment.
Other sizes of metal bands can be obtained from
third parties, such as

.
The following steps mount the AP to a pole:
Slide the metal bands through the slots on the
back of the AP as shown.
Locate the AP at the desired location on the
pole. Thread the end of a band into the slot on
the other end. Turn the captive screw to draw
the band through the slot.
Continue tightening until the AP is securely fastened to the pole. Repeat for the other band.
