Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point Mounting on a Horizontal or Vertical Surface Caution The 1250 series power injector (AIR-PWRINJ4), 1250 series DC power module (AIR-PWR-SPLY1), and the antennas have not been tested to UL 2043 and they must not be placed in a building's environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings. Note When mounting the access point in a building's environmental air space, you must use cables suitable for operation in environmental air space in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and Sections 2-128, 12-010(3), and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, C22.1. A mounting hardware kit is provided that contains the hardware and fasteners necessary to mount the access point. Refer to the Table 2-1 to identify the materials you need to mount your access point, then go to the section containing the specific mounting procedure. Table 2-1 Material Needed to Mount Access Point Mounting Method Horizontal or vertical surface Network box Below a suspended ceiling Above a suspended ceiling Materials Required In Kit Four #8 x 1 in. (25.4 mm) screws Yes Four wall anchors Yes 3/16 in. (4.7 mm) or 3/32 in.

Caution

The 1250 series power injector (AIR-PWRINJ4), 1250 series DC power module (AIR-PWR-SPLY1),

and the antennas have not been tested to UL 2043 and they must not be placed in a building’s

environmental air space, such as above suspended ceilings.

Note

When mounting the access point in a building’s environmental air space, you must use cables suitable

for operation in environmental air space in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the National Electrical
