Become Familiar with the Installation Components

Typical installation components using both PoE and DC power sources
NOTE:
The 7762-S has a built-in surge protector that is based on the GR-1089 standards.
If your deployment requires a higher level of surge protection, you can install an external
surge protector.
WARNING:
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace,
or service this equipment.
WARNING:
Installation of this equipment must comply with local and national electrical
codes.
CAUTION:
Make sure that you form a 3”-5” drip loop in any cable that is attached to the
Access Point (form the drip loop near the AP). This will prevent water from running along
the cable and entering the Access Point. Also add a second drip loop at the point of entry
through the wall.
CAUTION:
Be sure that grounding is secure at both ends, that it connects to a reliable
ground, and that it meets local and national electrical codes. For additional lightning
protection, use lightning rods and lightning arrestors.
