Procedure
Step 1 Assemble the cable clamps to the cable bracket on both cable brackets (see Figure 70: Assembling the AP to
the SMK and Solar Shield, on page 61). Set the height of the cable brackets as required. You should
hand-tighten the cable clamp nuts sufficiently enough to only prevent them from falling off.
Step 2 Install the solar shield over the SMK bracket assembly. See Figure 71: Assembling the cable bracket and
Clamps, on page 63.
We recommend you install the solar shield. However, if the AP's installed location is shaded from
the sun (For example: indoors or under an eave), the solar shield is not required.
Note
Step 3 Secure SMK bracket assembly with two M8 x16 bolts (with flat and lock washers) on the AP's back surface.
Using a 5–mm Hex wrench, tighten the bolts to 13 to 15 lb.-ft (17.6 to 20.3 Nm) of torque.
Step 4 Secure the solar shield with four 8-32 screws. Tighten the screws to 15 lbf-in (17 kgf-cm) of torque.
Step 5 Place the cable bracket, attached to the AP, on the cable strand, with each pair of cable clamps clamping on
to the cable strand. Tighten the cable clamps by tightening the two 5/16”–18 nuts to 13 to 15 lb-ft (17.6 to
20.3 Nm) of torque.
