Attention points for outdoor AP installation

[guide] the installation of wireless WIFI covers indoor AP and outdoor AP. Indoor AP is generally installed on top, which is relatively simple. Only frequency planning is needed to avoid the same frequency interference of wireless signal. Next, we should focus on outdoor outdoor AP installation steps and key points.

The installation of wireless WIFI covers indoor AP and outdoor AP. Indoor AP is usually installed on top, which is relatively simple. Only frequency planning is needed to avoid the same frequency interference of wireless signal. Next, we should focus on outdoor outdoor AP installation steps and points for attention.
Connection between AP and its accessories
The accessories for outdoor AP are mainly external antennas. Attention should be paid to the RF ports of AP (divided into 2.4G and 5G RF ports) and the antennas to be connected one by one, so they cannot be reversed, otherwise they will not be used.
There are two kinds of antenna, omnidirectional antenna and directional antenna, and the following are the connection diagrams of the two kinds of antennas:

Installation of AP holding rod
A schematic diagram for the installation of two types of antennas and points for attention:

1) the installation interval of each pair of omnidirectional antennas is within the range of 20cm-40cm;
2) the installation height of the omnidirectional antenna is recommended as 3-8m, which is based on the actual project. The AP radio frequency port which has not installed the antenna must be waterproof, and turn off the radio frequency.
3) under normal conditions, the complete antenna must be perpendicular to the horizontal plane. If there are special circumstances, the actual situation of the project is accurate.
4) the position of standing rod and installation, strictly according to the plan, should not move privately, the right picture is for reference, and the actual requirement of the project is accurate.
5) every place to be installed, must be done at the same time waterproof, lightning protection, grounding measures, so as to avoid damage to the equipment;
6) the holding rod must be fixed firmly, so as to ensure that the force can not shake.

1) if a plurality of directional antennas are installed on a holding rod, each directional antenna is spaced up and down 2m, and a maximum of 2 directional antennas is recommended for a hug bar.
2) the recommended installation height of the directional antenna is about 3-5M, which is based on the actual project.
3) by default, the directional antenna should be tilted down to 15 degrees, and the actual project needs are in practice. The AP radio frequency port which has not installed the antenna must be waterproof, and turn off the radio frequency.
4) the position of standing rod and installation, strictly according to the plan, should not move privately, the right picture is for reference, and the actual requirement of the project is accurate.
5) every place to be installed, must be done at the same time waterproof, lightning protection, grounding measures, so as to avoid damage to the equipment;
6) the holding rod must be fixed firmly, so as to ensure that the force can not shake.
AP waterproof treatment
When the outdoor AP is installed, there are 9 places to make waterproof measures.

AP lightning protection measures
The antenna must be installed within the 45 degree angle of the lightning rod. Network port lightning arrester, lightning arrester and outdoor antenna AP, need to do a good job of grounding measures, as shown below:

Omnidirectional antenna lightning protection

Directional antenna lightning protection
AP installation of grounding measures
When installing the antenna and AP, it is necessary to connect the AP and the parts to the ground. Outdoor AP, antenna lightning (lightning arrester to all antenna grounding), network port lightning protector, lightning rod must be grounded, grounding resistance and length to meet the requirements. Lightning protection device and AP grounding, grounding wire can put together the first, then unified into the grid (to ensure that the equipment can access the earthing network, rather than arbitrarily overlap in other pieces of metal on).
