Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point

Powering the Access Point

Caution For your safety, when connecting the access point AC power connector, always connect the access point end of the cable FIRST. When removing the AC power connector, always disconnect the access point end of the cable LAST.

If your access point contains a backup battery pack, you must press the reset button for 10 seconds or more (see the “Disabling Backup Battery Power” section on page 3-10.)

Step 3 When using the streetlight power tap adapter (AIR-PWR-ST-LT-R3P=), ensure that the access point is mounted within 3 feet (1 m) of the outdoor light control. For mounting instructions, refer to the “Installing the Mounting Bracket on a Pole (All Models)” section on page 2-18.

Step 4 Ensure that a 6-AWG ground wire is attached to the access point (see Figure 2-38) and connected to the streetlight pole (for instructions see Grounding the Access Point, page 2-41).

Step 5 Ensure that the streetlight power tap adapter, which uses a 3-pronged LC-10 twist-lock adapter, is placed between the outdoor light control and its fixture (refer to Figure 2-38). 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.
