2 Preparing for Installation
To prevent device damage and physical injury, please read the safety recommendations carefully as described in
this chapter.
Recommendations do not cover all possible hazardous situations.
2.1 Installation
The AP must be installed indoors. To ensure normal operation, the installation site must meet the following requirements.
Install the AP in a well-ventilated environment. If it is installed in a closed room, make sure there is a good cooling
system.
Make sure the site is sturdy enough to support the AP and its accessories.
Make sure the site has enough space for installing the AP and leave sufficient room around the AP for ventilation.
Do not expose the AP to high temperature, dust, or harmful gases.
Do not install the AP in an area prone to fire or explosions.
Keep the AP away from EMI sources such as large radar stations, radio stations, and substations.
Do not subject the AP to unstable voltage, vibration, and noises.
Keep the AP at least 500 meters away from the ocean and do not face it towards the sea breeze.
The installation site should be free from water including possible flooding, seepage, dripping, or condensation.
The installation site should be selected according to network planning and communications equipment features, and
considerations such as climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electrical power, and transportation.
Please follow the correct method described in the installation guide to install and remove the device.
2.2 Movement
Avoid frequently moving the device.
Turn off all power supplies and unplug all power cables before you remove the device.
2.3 EMI
Please observe local regulations and specifications when performing electrical operations. Relevant operators must
be qualified.
Carefully check for any potential hazards in the working area such as damp/wet ground or floors.
Find the location of the emergency power supply switch in the room before installation. Cut off the power supply first
in case of an accident.
Be sure to make a careful check before shutting down the power supply.
