Refer to
Figure 31

placed between the outdoor light control and its fixture. The LC-10 twist-lock adapter is designed to be
used with LC-10 listed outdoor light controls operating at 100 to 480 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz.
Step 6
Disconnect the outdoor light control from its fixture.
Step 7
Verify that the voltage available at the fixture is between 100 and 480 VAC, 50 to 60 Hz.
Step 8
Turn off power to the fixture at the designated circuits.
Caution
When installing the streetlight power tap adapter to the access point AC power connector, always
connect the access point end of the cable FIRST. When removing the streetlight power tap adapter,
always disconnect the access point end of the cable
last
.
Note
Ensure that your antennas are connected to the access point before you apply power to the access
point.
