Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Powering the Access Point
Warning
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and
disconnected last.
Statement 1046
Connecting Streetlight AC Power
The access point can be installed on a streetlight pole and powered from a streetlight outdoor light
control using the optional streetlight power tap adapter.
Caution The access point can be powered by a light pole twist-lock outdoor light control that provides
100-to 480-VAC 50/60 Hz power. Do not connect to an outdoor light control powered by higher voltages.
When powering the access point with AC power other than the streetlight power tap adapter, you must
ensure that the following conditions are observed:
1. AC power can be conveniently removed from the unit. The power should not be removed by
disconnecting the AC power connector on the unit.
Warning
A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
Statement 1022
Caution Before connecting or disconnecting a power cord, you must remove AC power from the power cord using
a suitable service disconnect.
2. You must protect any AC power plugs and AC receptacles from water and other outdoor elements.
You can use a UL-listed waterproofing enclosure suitable for covering the AC receptacle and AC
power plug that supplies power to the unit as described in Article 406 of the NEC.
3. When you install the access point outdoors or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit that
powers the access point should have ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article 210 of
the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Warning
Be very careful when connecting the streetlight adapter to Category 3 pole-top power. If you are not
careful, you may electrocute yourself or fall.
Statement 363
For additional important safety instructions for AC power cords, refer to the AC Power Cords for Cisco
Aironet 1550 Series Outdoor Mesh Access Points document that shipped with your AC power cords.
To install an access point on a streetlight pole, follow these steps:
Step 1 Before beginning the installation, ensure the AC power to the streetlight pole is turned off.
Step 2 Turn off power to the AC power source at the designated circuits.
Warning
This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to
de-energize the unit.
