Hardware Installation and Reference Guide Preparing for Installation
7
The installation site should be selected according to network planning, communications equipment features
and considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation.
2.2.1
Temperature and Humidity Requirements
Table 2-1
Temperature and Humidity Requirements
Operating Temperature
Operating Humidity:
-30°C to 65°C (-22°F to 149°F)
0% to 100% RH (non-condensing)
2.2.2
Outdoor Installation
The AP can be installed outdoors and mounted on a wall or a pole.
2.2.3
Waterproof
Use waterproof caps to seal the unused ports.
After using the reset button and DC power port, please ensure that the caps are put back.
The network cable needs to be threaded through the cable gland before connecting to the AP. For details,
see Chapter 3

2.2.4
EMI
All interference sources (from outside or inside of the device or application system) affect the device by
capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, or electromagnetic waves.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurs due to electromagnetic radiation or conduction, depending on the
transmission path.
Radiation interference occurs when energy (usually radio frequency energy) is emitted from a device and
propagated through space to disrupt other devices. The interference source can be part of disrupted system or
a fully electrically isolated unit. Conduction interference occurs when interference is transferred from one unit to
another through cables, which are usually electromagnetic wires or signal cables connected between the source
and the device(s) experiencing interference. Conduction interference often affects the power supply of the device.
It is eliminated by using filters. Radiation interference can influence the path of any signal from the device and
is difficult to shield.
Take effective measures against interference from the power grid.
Keep the AP far away from the grounding or lightning protection devices for power equipment.
Keep the AP away from high-power radio stations, radar stations, and high-frequency high-current devices.
Take electrostatic shielding measures.
