Mounting the AP to a Beam

The AP3915e access point can be mounted onto a beam using a beam clip accessory (BRKT-000147A-01) to the main mounting bracket.
Pre-installation checklist:
  • The beam must be able to support the AP in all environmental conditions.
  • The beam should be flat.
Before attaching the AP onto a beam, verify that:
  • Beam attachment area is at least 0.5” (12.7mm) wide and as long as the AP‘s largest dimension.
  • Beam mounting surface is less than 0.650” (16.5mm) thick.
