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

Install the EIO-04 under seat enclosure with the AP560i access point on a stadium slope.

Before you begin

Table 1. Hardware requirements for slope installation
Item quantity Description
1 AP560i access point
6 10 mm M6 screws with integral washers
4 75 mm service panel shoulder screws
2 Anchor posts
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
Attach the metal sloping bracket on a surface:
  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. 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 slope.

Procedure

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

    Callout Description
    1 Conduit holes on either sides of the metal sloping bracket
    2 Conduit cable holes in the slope
  3. 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 in. NPT or a ¾ in. NPT conduit on the EIO-04 conduit holes.
    Note

    Note

    If you are using a ¾ in. NPT, use the conduit cover that comes with the unit to cover the conduit hole.
  4. Tighten the locking nut.
  5. 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.
  6. If you are using the right side conduit hole in the slope, repeat step 3.
  7. Run the cable through the conduit and add the RJ45 connectors to the wires.
    Note

    Note

    The cable should have 1 in. bend radius and be accessible to the glands on AP560i access point.

    For more information about GE1 or GE2 cable, refer to Connect the GE1 or GE2 cable topic.

  8. Attach the metal L bracket to the access point:
    1. Attach the metal “L” bracket to the gland side of the AP560i 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.
  9. Install the access point on the slope:
    1. Align and center the alignment holes of the access point and the side tab extension 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 would go.
    4. Torque the screws to 35 in-lbs.
