Preparing for Installation

Safety Precautions
Note To prevent device damage and physical injury, please read carefully the safety recommendations described in this chapter. The following safety precautions do not cover all possible dangers.

Warning
Using this device may cause radio interference in living environment.

Grounding and Lightning Protection

Keep the grounding connection within 30 m (98.43ft), and use a 40 mm x 4 mm (1.57 in. x 0.16 in.) or 50 mm x 5 mm (1.97 in. x 0.2 in.) ground bar of hot-dip zinc-coated flat steel sheet.
When the connection cable between the main grounding conductor and local equipotential earthing terminal board (LEB) on each floor is short, use a stranded copper wire with a sectional area not less than 1.318 mm2 (16 AWG) for the connection cable.
Use a shielded network cable and make sure that the devices at the two ends of the cable, and the shielded sleeves are well grounded. Alternatively, run the network cable through the steel pipe and ground the pipe at both ends.
No additional lightning protector is required as a high-profile lightning protector is built in the RG-RAP6202(G) and the antenna port and power port support 4 kV lightning protection. If a lightning protector of a higher profile is available, configure the lightning protector optionally. Before the configuration, connect the lightning protector to the ground cable.
Use a power cable with the PE end to ground the power supply (AC). Ensure that the PE end is properly grounded, with a ground resistance less than 5 ohms. Do not use a two-wire power cable with only the live (L) wire and naught (N) wire. Do not connect the N wire to the protection ground cable of other communication devices, and ensure that the L wire and N wire are properly connected.
The ground resistance should be less than 5 ohms. In an area with a higher soil resistivity, reduce the soil resistance by spreading ground resistance reducer powder to reduce the soil resistivity.

Preparing the Installation Site

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 protected from water and flooding, seepage, dripping, or condensation.
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.

Temperature and humidity requirements

Operating Temperature	Operating Humidity:
-30°C to 65°C (-22°F to 149°F)	0% to 100% RH (non-condensing)

Outdoor Installation
The AP can be installed outdoors and supports installation methods including wall mounting, vertical pole mounting and horizontal pole mounting.

Weatherproof

Use a weatherproof cap to seal the unused ports.
After using the reset button, please seal it with the weatherproof cap.
The Ethernet cable needs to be threaded through the cable gland before connecting to the AP. For details, see Chapter 3 Installation.

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.

Installation

Caution
Before installing the AP, make sure you have carefully read the requirements described in Chapter 2.

Installation Flowchart

Before You Begin

The installation site meets temperature and humidity requirements.
The installation site is equipped with a proper power supply.
Network cables are in place.

Choosing a Site
The outdoor AP can be mounted on a wall and a pole with a diameter ranging from 50 mm to 70 mm (1.97 in. to 2.76 in.). If the diameter of the pole is out of the range, the hose clamp is customer-supplied. In this case, it is recommended that you use a hose clamp with thickness of 2.5mm (0.1 in.) at least. The installation site varies due to on-the-spot surveys conducted by technical personnel.
Please make full preparations as described in Chapter 2 and observe the following precautions before installing the device.

Before connecting the power supply, make sure the external power supply matches the power module of the AP.
Before connecting the power cord, make sure the power module is turned off.
When connecting the power cord to a binding post, make sure their colors are the same.
Make sure the power supply is properly connected.

Installing the Device

Wall Mounting

Use the mounting plate and M8 x 60 expansion bolts to implement wall mounting.
a Attach the mounting plate to the wall and mark the locations of screw holes after adjusting the installation position.
Figure 3-1 Pre-install M8 x 60 expansion bolts on the wall b Install the access point and the connecting rod to the mounting plate on the wall, and tighten the M8 x 20 screws to complete installation.
Figure 3-2 Wall Mounting

Vertical Pole Mounting

Secure the mounting plate to the vertical pole by threading two clamps through the mounting plate, and fasten the clamps with screws. You are advised to use an electronic screwdriver.
Figure 3-3 Mounting the Plate on a Vertical Pole
Install the access point and the connecting rod to the mounting plate on the vertical pole, and tighten the M8 x 20 screws to complete installation
Figure 3-4 Vertical Pole Mounting

Horizontal Pole Mounting

Note
The procedures of horizontal pole mounting are the same as those of vertical pole mounting.
Figure 3-5 Mounting the Plate on a Horizontal Pole

Figure 3-6 Horizontal Pole Mounting

Connecting Ethernet Cables
Caution
The weatherproof materials are customer-supplied.

Trim an Ethernet cable according to the distance between the access point and the power supply.
Insert the unterminated end of the Ethernet cable through part D, C and B in sequence.
Install an RJ45 connector on the unterminated end of the Ethernet cable using an Ethernet cable installation tool..
Insert the RJ45 connector into the LAN, PoE or uplink port of the access point, and tighten part B, C and D in sequence.
If you want to install the cable gland without an Ethernet cable threaded through it, insert the waterproof rubber rod into the washer (rubber gasket), and tighten part B, C and D in sequence.
Make sure to seal the DC port and the reset button with clean weatherproof caps and insert them into the slot of connecting rod.

Caution
Please ensure that the RJ45 connector is properly inserted. Otherwise, you may damage the RJ45 connector when tightening the cable gland. Before removing the Ethernet cable, please remove the cable gland first and then the RJ45 connector.

Warning
The access point should not be installed in the place prone to water accumulation, seepage, dripping, and condensation.
You are advised to install the access point horizontally.
If any requirement above cannot be fulfilled, please use weatherproof duct tape or weatherproof plaster.
