Warning
C2s may require professional installation depending on the deployment
scenario.
Only use the power adaptor supplied with C2s. Using a different power
adaptor might damage C2s.
Install a lightning arrestor to protect the A for lightning dissipation
during rainstorms. Lightning arrestors are mounted outside the structure
and must be grounded by means of a ground wire to the nearest
ground rod or item that is grounded.

1.Introduction
This guide is designed to provide the information needed to mount
Altai C2s Super WiFi A /Bridge at the site location.
The document is applicable for hardware platform C2s and the
following model.
roduct Name: C2s Dual-Band 2x2 802.ac WiFi AP/Bridge
Model Number: C2-2221-000
It is assumed in this document that a site survey has been performed
before the site installation. The appropriate antenna pole and A
locations have been selected. It is a good practice to have a
document which consists of a map and drawing illustrating the A and
poles locations. A planning on I network is also an important issue for
network planning.
The user may need to refer the following document during C2s
installation and Configuration.

Apply the rubber
tape on the C2s
lower compartment
in a top-down
manner.
2.7. C2s Waterproof Protection
Especially for outdoor installation, proper sealing can enhance the
protection for the C2s unit against water Ingress. Both the LAN cable
and the unit should be wrapped.
1. Wrap the cable with a layer of rubber tape. Start from 8cm below
the connector. Wrap a loop and overlap a half. Continue until it
reaches the RJ45 connector.
2. ut the cover back onto the lower compartment and there should
be a part of Ethernet cable left with rubber tape applied.
3. Wrap the C2s unit with a layer of rubber tape. Start from 1cm
above the cover. Wrap a loop and overlap a half. Continue until it
reaches the bottom. The bottom should be completely sealed by
the rubber tape.
Wrap the rubber tape on
the Ethernet cable from
8cm below up to the RJ45
connector
~8cm

4. Wrap the C2s unit with a layer of electrical tape. Start from 1cm
above the rubber tape wrapping. Wrap a loop and overlap a half.
Continue until the electrical tape totally covers the rubber tape
including the cable section.
5. Typical pole-mount setup with finished wrapping is shown below.

3.Electrical and Lightning Protection
3.1. Surge Protector
It is strongly advised the C2s unit be installed with surge protector
(ordered separately), especially for outdoor deployment, to protect it
against electrical surge. The surge protector should be grounded
properly and installed as close to the C2s unit as possible in order to
prevent the C2s from the electrical damage.
3.2. Lightning Protection System
The C2s unit should be installed with a lightning rod and protected by
relevant lightning protection system to avoid any potential electrical
damage caused by lightning.
3.3. LAN Cable for Outdoor Installation
ST cable with shielded connectors is required to protect the C2s
against ESD. Follow the instruction to crimp the cable:
1. Cut about 4cm of the wire coating.
2. Untwist eight wires with the order from left to right: Orange White,
Orange, White Green, Blue, White Blue, Green, White Brown,
Brown. The order will be the same on both sides.
3. Straighten eight wires and cut the wire with only 2cm extension
4. Insert the wires into an RJ45 modular jack. The hook should face
down. All eight wires should touch the top of the jack.
5. The foil and the shield of RJ45 connector should have direct
contact.
6. Insert the modular jack into the crimping tool. ress down on the
tool firmly.
