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 and AC/DC power adapter,
AIR-PWRADPT-RGD1=.
The AC/DC power adapter is used inline from the street light tap to the 1560 DC connector. The AC
power tap only can be used with the AC/DC power adapter.
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 cut from the unit, but not by disconnecting the AC power connector
on the unit.
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 A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
