Install the EIO-03-SP Service Panel on an Access Point

About this task

A service panel must be installed when the access point is installed under-bench or on a riser.
Note

Note

Close the bottom opening of the service panel when you have an access point on a riser. Otherwise water and debris collects in the panel and shortens it's life. Use a plastic or metal covering that's at least 0.050 inches thick.

Tip

Tip

The best practice is to use one part clear super glue and two parts epoxy to hold the service panel cover in place. This helps provide some resistance during pressure washing.
Note

Note

When installing the access point flat against a surface in a location that uses ice melt, the best practice is to apply an anti-seize material to the screws before attaching them to the access point metal base.
Note

Note

When you mount the AP on a riser with the metal "L" bracket only and not with a large metal sloping bracket, it is recommended that you add a 3mm-thick stainless steel washer between the “L” brackets and the riser on all of the anchors. The washer provides proper drainage during storms.
