Note that:
•
The AC Mains power cable installation for this product must be done by a licensed electrician
in accordance with the NEC, CEC and all applicable local electrical codes. Also, no power
can be connected at the SkyZhone unit until the Chassis Safety Ground is properly installed.
•
The Skyzhone-1x00 products are shipped with a flexible 14’ power cord with a NEMA-15, 3-
wire plug. An alternate 5’ cord with NEMA-15, 3-wire plug can be ordered as well. Removal
of the product from the installation for return to factory for repair or maintenance can be
accomplished by disconnecting the AC power at the unit circular twist-lock connection.
•
The SkyZhone access point must always be mounted with the top of the unit horizontal and
level.
•
It is best to mount the SkyZhone access point to a metal structure. The metal mounting
brackets are designed to make good contact with the pole, thereby assuring good quality
connection to the grounded structure.
•
The SkyZhone access point ships in a container with the antennas. The antennas are inside
the protective foam, beneath the flap at the top. Do not throw away the foam.
