Figure 5 – Snap the Firestop Grommet around the Data Cable and pull through the Conduit Connector as shown.
Figure 4
Step 5 – Run the data and power cable (if required) through the
conduit connectors which have been installed in sides of the
access point enclosure. In order to maintain a separation of
signal and power, install the data and power cables through
opposite sides of the enclosure. Snap the fire stop grommet
around the cable and insert it into the conduit connector and pull
the data cable through far enough to allow attachment to the
access point (8" - 10"). Attach any additional data cables as
necessary and power up the networked devices.
Step 6 – (For Wall Installation Only) Model 1028-08-ANT5-B
requires at least 8” of free space above the ceiling or behind the
wall to allow for clearance. The Anchoring points on the flange
are 16" apart. For wall installation, cut a 14” X 18” hole.
Additional clearance and bracing may be necessary. Use
appropriate hardware to secure the enclosure. Drywall anchors
and cinderblock anchors may be used.
Step 7 – If stud spacing permits, position the enclosure so that
the mounting holes are centrally located with the studs. For metal
studs, use #10 sheet metal screws (or, for wood studs, use #10
wood screws). The screws should be a minimum of 2" in length.
Make sure that the screw is inserted directly into the stud.
Securely tighten the screws after inserting them through the
screw snap cap washer, and be sure that the screw is inserted
directly into the joist. Press the provided screw snap caps onto
the screw head. Alternatively, if no studs are available for
mounting, drywall anchors or cinderblock anchors may be used.
Be sure to use appropriate hardware for the wall construction
type. (Reference Figure 4)
** IMPORTANT** - This is an important safety
feature that could prevent human injury or damage to
the equipment should the unit become dislodged from
the ceiling.
Step 8 – (For Ceiling Installation Only) Use hanger wires (included) to support the enclosure. Attach one end of the wire to the mounting
brackets located along the edge of the back box and the other end to a permanent structural component of the building such as a joist. Two
supporting grid wires should be attached to each corner. Reference Oberon’s OPA 1638 drawing (at
http://oberonwireless.com/WebDocs/OPA-1638-10.pdf). For ceiling installation, cut a 18” tall X 14” wide rectangular hole. If space permits,
position the enclosure so that the mounting holes are centrally located with the joists. For metal joists, use #10 sheet metal screws (or, for
wood joists, use #10 wood screws). The screws should be a minimum of 2" in length. Securely tighten the screws after inserting them
through the screw snap cap washer, and be sure that the screw is inserted directly into the joist. Press the provided screw snap caps onto
the screw heads.
Step 9 – Close and lock the access door. Extra force may be necessary to compress the gasket. The installation is now completed.
NOTE: Additional sealing precautions around edges of the enclosure may be necessary.

from accidentally swinging open.
3. When opening the enclosure door, be sure to support the door to prevent the door from accidentally falling open.
4. This enclosure has a maximum operating ambient of 55º C (131º F), the temperature within the enclosure may not
exceed this temperature, depending on power dissipation within enclosure.
5. A minimum air clearance of 1“ between the housing of the access point and the enclosure side walls must be
maintained for the safe operation of the equipment.
6. This product is intended to be installed by trained personnel.
7. Only Listed ITE products and Listed AC Receptacles shall be installed within the enclosure.
8. This product is to be repaired by personnel trained by the manufacturer or returned to the manufacturer for repair or
