2425H. The XR-2425H is powered by one injector port rated at 30W or higher. See the
Installation Guide for your PoE device for more information.
NOTE: Xirrus-supplied PoGE Injectors and switches must be installed and used
indoors.
2) Choose a Suitable Location
The XR-2425H is tested to IP65 water proof and dust proof requirements to protect against
severely wet and dusty environments. For optimal placement, we recommend that a predictive
survey be performed by a qualified Xirrus partner.
 Choose a location that is not subjected to submersion.
 Direct sunlight may raise the effective ambient temperature many degrees above air
temperature. It is best to choose a location that has some protection from the sun.
 The maximum cable length between the XR-2425H and the RJ-45 Ethernet Network is 100
meters. The PoGE Injector is not a repeater, so its location will not increase this distance.
 The XR-2425H can operate from a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) link. However, the
unit will need to be configured via the Ethernet connection prior to mounting and power
must still be supplied via the RJ-45 Ethernet connector.
 Keep the unit away from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise—at least 3
to 6 feet (1 to 2 meters).
3) Prepare a Ground Source
Part of the mechanical installation is to ensure that the Array is grounded to earth ground to
dissipate any static electric charge that may develop due to wind.
 Determine a good electrical earth ground point near the Array mounting location. If an
earth ground point is not available, consult an electrician to have one installed.
 Before the Array is attached to a wall or pole, secure a grounding wire and lug to the Array
with the provided screw in the location indicated by the arrow, below.
