Fins Facing down
Ceiling Mount with the CAP L Fins facing down – Fan Kit is recommended. See note below!
Always mount the CAP L with its mounting option facing down against the mounting surface, and the
enclosure fins facing up for optimal cooling efficiency, as shown in the preceding graphic. Cooling
efficiency is reduced when the enclosure fins are facing down; a fan kit is recommended for maximum
service life when the CAP L is mounted in this orientation. For further details on installation without a fan
kit, see "Extended CAP L Temperature Operation” on page 22
.
If you are mounting the CAP L above a ceiling, its antennas must protrude below the ceiling. That is, the
CAP L will be above the ceiling, but any connected WiFi units or IP cameras will be mounted below the
ceiling, as shown in the preceding graphic.
5 After you mount the Fiber CAP L on a flat surface, follow the steps in
• "Ground the Fiber CAP L (Optional)” on page 55 (if grounding is required or preferred)
• "Connect the Passive RF Antenna” on page 59.
Do not stack CAP Ls on top of each other.
Always secure the CAP L to the mounting surface.
