When you install the unit outdoors, or in a wet or damp location, the AC branch circuit that powers the
unit should have ground fault protection (GFCI), as required by Article 210 of the NEC.
If the power cord goes through a metal cover, a bushing should be installed to prevent fraying of the
cord. When using a strain relief bushing, you should follow these recommendations:
Use properly sized parts
Use bushings that are safety certified
Use parts that are suitable for outdoor installation
Ensure that the user-supplied AC power plug is certified for outdoor use and has a minimum IP67 rating.
To meet EN/IEC60950-22 (Clause 4.2) requirements, ensure that additional protection is provided external
to this equipment to reduce transient surges from Overvoltage IV to Overvoltage Category II at the AC
power input of the router. The overvoltage and fault-current protection components used to achieve this
protection must comply with the IEC 61643 series of standards. To meet CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.
60950-22-07/UL60950-22 requirements, use alternative components to provide this additional protection.
Those components may comply with ANSI/IEEE C62.11, CSA Certification Notice No. 516, CSA C22.2
No. 1, or UL 1449. Suitability of the components for the application must be determined for the intended
installation. (For example, some devices are suitable for installation on the load side of the service entrance
only, and some are suitable for use with cord-connected equipment only.)
Note
When connecting the router AC power connector, always connect the router end of the cable first. When
removing the AC power connector, always disconnect the router end of the cable last.
Caution
Procedure
Step 1
Verify that the unit is grounded as described in
Grounding the Router, on page 44.
Step 2
Turn off power to the AC power source at the designated circuits.
Step 3
Align the notch in the AC power cable with the key in the router AC power connector, then push the cable
connector into the router connector. When the cable connector is fully seated, rotate the cable connector ring
clockwise until hand-tight.
Step 4
Confirm that the router antenna is connected to the router before you apply power to the router.
Step 5
Connect the other end of the AC power cable to the power source, using the instructions that came with the
connecting device.
Step 6
Turn on AC power at the designated circuits. The router will power on and boot the software image.
