Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Powering the Access Point
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.
Step 4 Ensure that a 6-AWG ground wire is attached to the access point (see Figure 2-34) and connected to the
streetlight pole (for instructions see Grounding the Access Point, page 2-27).
Note Deployment of the AP as shown in the streetlight deployment in Figure 2-34 requires an
alternate AP mounting kit. See Mounting the Access Point section for more information.
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 2-34). 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.
Step 9 Connect the streetlight power tap adapter to the access point AC/DC power adapter. See Wiring the
Streetlight Power Tap Adapter to the AC/DC Power Adapter.
Step 10 Plug the streetlight power tap adapter into the outdoor light control fixture, as shown in Figure 2-34.
Step 11 Plug the outdoor light control into the streetlight power tap adapter.
Step 12 Ensure that the antennas are connected to the access point before you apply power to the access point.
Step 13 Turn on the power to the outdoor light control fixture at the designated circuits.
Wiring the Streetlight Power Tap Adapter to the AC/DC Power Adapter
The AC plugs of the streetlight power tap adapter (AIR-PWR-ST-LT-R3P=) and the AC/DC power
adapter (AIR-PWRADPT-1570=) are incompatible. Hence, you need to connect the cables to wire them
together, using the illustration in Figure 2-24. Ensure that you follow local electrical and safety codes
when making and protecting this connection.
Warning
Ensure that all electrical power is turned off before making this connection.
Warning
Follow all local wiring and electrical codes when making this connection. Note that the spliced
cables may need to be housed in an approved junction box.
