Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point

Powering the Access Point

Warning When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 1046

Connecting Streetlight AC Power

The access point can be installed on a streetlight pole and powered from a streetlight outdoor light control using the optional streetlight power tap adapter.

Caution The access point can be powered by a light pole twist-lock outdoor light control that provides 100-to 480-VAC 50/60 Hz power. Do not connect to an outdoor light control powered by higher voltages.

When powering the access point with AC power other than the streetlight power tap adapter, you must ensure that the following conditions are observed:

1.AC power can be conveniently removed from the unit. The power should not be removed by disconnecting the AC power connector on the unit.

Warning A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

Statement 1022

Caution Before connecting or disconnecting a power cord, you must remove AC power from the power cord using a suitable service disconnect.

2.You must protect any AC power plugs and AC receptacles from water and other outdoor elements. You can use a UL-listed waterproofing enclosure suitable for covering the AC receptacle and AC power plug that supplies power to the unit as described in Article 406 of the NEC.

3.When you install the access point outdoors or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit that powers the access point should have ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article 210 of the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Warning Be very careful when connecting the streetlight adapter to Category 3 pole-top power. If you are not careful, you may electrocute yourself or fall. Statement 363

For additional important safety instructions for AC power cords, refer to the AC Power Cords for Cisco Aironet 1550 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Points document that shipped with your AC power cords.

To install an access point on a streetlight pole, follow these steps:

Step 1 Before beginning the installation, ensure the AC power to the streetlight pole is turned off. Step 2 Turn off power to the AC power source at the designated circuits.
