Unique Installations
Stadium/Harsh Environments
Customers wishing to install the AP in harsh environments where it may be exposed to weather, such as
sporting areas, stadiums, open garden areas or warehouse freezers, may wish to use a NEMA type
enclosure.

When using a NEMA type enclosure, try to have the cables exit out of the bottom of the enclosure so
that rain and moisture do not run down the cable into the enclosure. Also, the color of the enclosure may
affect the heat rating; for example, a black enclosure gets much hotter in the sun than a white one. You
may also want to use a pressure vent to prevent moisture accumulation. See Figure 27.
Areas with High Vibration
If the Access Point is installed using a “side arm” type mount or other mounting locations where there
is a likelihood of high vibration, it is recommended that a padlock or metal pin be used to prevent the
AP from vibrating loose from the bracket.
