Grounding the Access Point
Disabling Backup Battery Power
To disable battery backup power, follow these steps:
Step 1
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the reset button screw. Be careful not to loose the screw.
Step 2
Use a straighten paper clip and push the reset button for greater than 10 seconds.
•
When the access point is only battery powered, this causes the access point to reboot and then
disable the backup battery power. The LEDs turn off for approximately 5 seconds, reactivate for
approximately 5 seconds, and then turn off and stay off.
•
When the access point has battery power and another power source, this causes the access point to
reboot, then disable the battery and continue operating from the second power source. The LEDs
turn off for approximately 5 seconds and then reactivate.
Note
If your access point does not contain a battery backup unit, the access point will only reboot.
Note
The battery backup unit is reactivated when the access point is rebooted (power cycled)
again.
Step 3
Replace the reset button screw, and use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten to 22 to 24 in. lbs
(2.49 to 2.71 Nm).
Grounding the Access Point
The access point must be grounded prior to connecting power.
Warning
This equipment must be externally grounded using a customer-supplied ground wire before power is
applied. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain
that suitable grounding is available.
Statement 366

Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.
Statement 1074
Note
When the access point is cable strand mounted, the strand support cable and the mounting hardware
provide grounding for the access point.
In all outdoor installations and when powering the access point with AC power, you must follow these
instructions to properly ground the case:
Step 1
If using insulated 6-AWG copper ground wire, strip the insulation as required for the grounding lug.
Step 2
Use the appropriate crimping tool to crimp the bare 6-AWG copper ground wire to the supplied
grounding lug (Panduit PLCD6-10A-L).
