Install the EIO-04 Under-Seat Slope Bracket and the Access Point

Install the EIO-04 under seat enclosure with the AP5050U access point on a stadium slope.

Before you begin

Obtain the items shown in the following table.

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.
Table 1. Hardware Requirements for Slope Installation
Item quantity Description
1 AP5050U access point
6 10mm long M6 screws with integral washers
4 75 mm service panel shoulder screws
2 Anchor posts
4 3mm stainless steel washer to be used as a spacer for drainage.
2 Flat washers for anchors
2 Lock washers for anchors
1 Metal "L" bracket
1 Plastic service panel base
1 Plastic service panel top with captive screw
1 Metal sloping bracket
4 Service Panel metal Conduit Coupler plates, two blanks, one ¾-inch NPT, and one ½-inch NPT.
4 Slope metal Conduit Coupler plates, two blanks, two ¾-inch NPT, and two ½-inch NPT.
Attach the metal sloping bracket on a slope:
  1. Using the metal sloping bracket as a template, mark and drill two holes in the concrete.
  2. Insert the anchors without the nuts and washers.
  3. If using EIO-GASKETs, install the two EIO-GASKETs on the left and right side of the access point. The two gaskets keep the area under the access point free of debris and large objects.
  4. Place the metal sloping bracket, attach the nuts and washers to the exposed threads, and torque them to 60 in-lbs.

About this task

Attach the conduit cable through the conduit holes on the metal sloping bracket, then attach the metal L bracket to the access point, and install the access point on a surface.

Procedure

  1. Attach the conduit couplers to the conduit.
  2. Remove the locking nut.
  3. Insert a blank conduit cover over the conduit hole in the slope for the conduit hole that is not used,.

    Table 2. Conduit Holes
    Callout Description
    1 Conduit holes on either sides of the metal sloping bracket.
    2 Conduit cable holes in the slope.
  4. If you are using the left side conduit hole on the metal sloping bracket, attach the correct size conduit cover to the conduit hole.
    You can use an 1-inch NPT, 3/4-inch NPT, or 1/2-inch NPTon the EIO-04.
    Note

    Note

    If you are using a 3/4 inch NPT or 1/2 inch NPT, use the conduit cover that comes with the unit to cover the conduit hole. If you are using 1 inch NPT conduit, a conduit tab is not required.
  5. Tighten the locking nut.
  6. If you are using the conduit hole in the slope, attach the conduit coupler and the locking nut directly to the slope conduit hole.
    Note

    Note

    The conduit must be 1 in. in diameter to attach the conduit coupler and the nut directly in the slope.
  7. Repeat Step 4 for the right side if you are using the right side conduit hole in the slope.
  8. Run the cable through the conduit and add the RJ45 connectors to the wires.
    Note

    Note

    The cable should have a minimum of 1-inch bend radius and be accessible to the glands on AP5050U access point.

    For more information about the LAN cables refer to Connect the ETH1 or ETH0 cable topic.

  9. Attach the metal L bracket to the access point:
    1. Attach the metal “L” bracket to the gland side of the AP5050U access point using two M6 screws.
    2. Torque the screws to 35 in-lbs.
    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.
  10. Install the access point on the slope:
    1. Align and center the alignment holes of the access point and the right side tab holes, and attach the access point to the tabs using two M6 screws.
    2. Attach the gland side of the access point, that has the “L” bracket to the metal sloping bracket using two M6 screws.
    3. Push the access point to the rear as far as it will go.
    4. Torque the screws to 35 in-lbs.
