AP intelligence must be physically separated.
In addion to this E510 AP Module Quick Setup Guide, the E510
AP also includes the following documents (please refer to the
relevant documents for detailed informaon on other E510
modules):

NOTE: The minimum soware revision for the E510 is
ZoneDirector (ZD) 10.1 or later, or SmartZone (SZ) 3.6 or later,
or standalone AP rmware 108.0 or later.
This Quick Setup Guide provides step-by-step instrucons on how
to eld-install the RUCKUS E510 access point (AP). For detailed
informaon on planning the installaon, performing a site survey
and operang the E510, refer to the RUCKUS Outdoor Access
Point User Guide, available at hps://support.ruckuswireless.com.
WARNING! Only trained and qualied personnel should be
allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
WARNING! Installaon of this equipment must comply with
local and naonal electrical codes.
CAUTION! Make sure that you form a 80mm - 130mm (3”-5”)
drip loop in any cable that is aached to the AP or the building.
This will prevent water from running along the cable and
entering the AP or the building where the cable terminates.
CAUTION! Be sure that grounding is available and that it meets
local and naonal electrical codes. For addional lightning
protecon, use lightning rods and lightning arrestors.
CAUTION! Make sure that proper lightning surge protecon
precauons are taken according to local electrical code.
WARNING! RUCKUS strongly recommends that you wear eye
protecon before mounng the AP.

FIGURE 1 E510 AP Module
Purchased Separately
The E510 requires an Antenna Cable Kit and Antenna Module
(RUCKUS or third-party RF cables) to be purchased separately.
NOTE: BeamFlex is not supported when using third-party RF
cables.
Antenna Module
The E510 Antenna Module (RUCKUS PN# 902-2101-0000) consists
of one vercally-polarized and one horizontally-polarized antenna
per band. Refer to the E510 Antenna Module Quick Setup Guide
for more informaon.
Antenna Cable Kit
Ruckus provides three dierent cable kits with dierent length
cables. Each kit contains two RF coaxial cables and one Control
cable. The RF cables are used to connect the AP Module to the
Antenna Module using two RP-SMA connectors (each dual-band/
single chain).

Mounng Bracket
The E510 AP Module Mounng Bracket (RUCKUS PN#
902-2004-0000) must be purchased separately for mounng the
AP Module to a pole. The pole mounng bracket kit includes the
following:
•Pole mount bracket
•3 M4x8mm bracket screws with built-in lock washers and at
washers
•4 metal pole clamps
M8 and M12 Connectors
If third-party Ethernet or DC power cables are used, the installer
must ensure the proper cable connectors are used. The following
are examples of third-party cable connectors that can be used
with the E510:
•M12 X-coded 8 posion PoE connector: hps://www.te.com/

Mounng Instrucons
Mounng Scenarios
The E510 is designed for embedded mounng into third-party
structures such as light poles, light xtures, street furniture,
railway carriages and track side installaons.
Surface Mounng
The AP Module supports mounng on a at surface into which
holes can be drilled.
Use customer-supplied hardware to mount the AP Module to a
at surface.
FIGURE 2 E510 AP Module at surface mounng anges
Pole Mounng
The E510 AP Module can be mounted on a pole with the E510 AP
Module Mounng Bracket (PN# 902-2004-0000).
NOTE: The included hose clamps can support a pole diameter
up to 120mm, when daisy-chained together.
1. Aach the mounng bracket to the AP Module using the
three M4 bracket screws with built-in at washers and lock
washers included in the bracket kit. Torque screws to 20 in-
lbs (2.26 Nm).
NOTE: The AP Module can be mounted either at to the
pole or side-mounted. The bracket provides holes to
accommodate both scenarios. Side mounng uses three
screws and at mounng uses two screws.

2. Use the two metal pole clamps to aach the bracket to the
pole. Tighten pole clamp screws to 27 in-lbs. (3.05 Nm).

FIGURE 6 AP Module pole mounng - at
DIN Rail Mounng
The AP Module supports mounng onto DIN Rail brackets via a
separate third-party bracket accessory.
Connecng the AP Module to the Antenna Module
When a RUCKUS Beamex antenna, such as 902-2101-0000, is
used, the E510 AP Module must be connected to the Antenna
Module using two RF cables and one Control Cable.
NOTE: For Antenna Mounng and Orientaon, please refer to
the E510 Antenna Module Quick Setup Guide.
The E510 AP module has two RP-SMA connectors for antenna RF
cables to connect with the external antenna module. The 2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz Wi-Fi RF signals are carried between the AP Module
and Antenna Module using the two SMA cables.
The length of the cables depends on the needs of the installaon,
and cables are therefore purchased separately to suit the
parcular deployment.

Please refer to the E510 Antenna Module Quick Setup Guide for
antenna cable details.
1. Connect the antenna cables to the ANT1 and ANT2
connectors on the AP Module and the Antenna Module
respecvely.
FIGURE 7 Connect the AP Module to the Antenna Module
WARNING! Be sure that you connect the correct antenna
cable to the correct port (ANT1 to ANT1, ANT2 to ANT2).
Do NOT connect ANT1 to ANT2.
2. Using a torque wrench/screwdriver with an SMA (5/16)
adapter, ghten the antenna cable connectors to 4 in-lbs.
(0.45 N.m).
3. Connect the M12 antenna Control Cable to the M12
connector (female) on the AP module.
4. Connect the other end of the M12 antenna Control Cable to
the M12 connector (male) on the Antenna module.
FIGURE 8 E510 Antenna Module connectors
NOTE: The Control Cable has one male and one female
connector to prevent installing the cable incorrectly.
Power Input
The E510 can accommodate two sources of power, 802.3af PoE
power or 12V-48V DC.
The E510 can be powered by 802.3af PoE switch or Ruckus-
supplied PoE injector.
Alternately, power can be supplied from a DC power source using
the M8 connector.
When both power sources exist, 12-48V DC takes priority over
PoE Power.
NOTE: For informaon on the recommended M8 cable
connectors for the E510, refer to the M8 and M12 Connectors
secon in Purchased Separately, above.

FIGURE 9 E510 DC power and PoE In ports
Connecng the Ethernet Cable
The E510 has one 10/100/1000 PoE Ethernet port with M12
weatherproof connector.
Connect the Ethernet cable to a 802.3af-compliant PoE switch or
injector to provide both power and network connecvity.
NOTE: For informaon on the recommended M12 cable
connectors for the E510, refer to the M8 and M12 Connectors
secon in Purchased Separately, above.
Factory Reset Buon
The Reset buon can be accessed by removing the Torx screw
labeled RESET.
Use a T10 Security Torx screwdriver or bit to remove the Torx
screw covering the Reset buon.
Insert a pin or similar object less than 2.5 mm in diameter into the
reset hole to reboot or factory reset the device.
Press and release the reset buon to reboot the AP. Press and
hold the reset buon for 4+ seconds to restore to factory
defaults.
FIGURE 10 Remove Torx screw to access Reset buon
CAUTION! Remember to replace the Torx screw covering the
Reset buon aer use. Insert the screw and torque to 4 in-lbs.
(0.45 Nm).
USB Port
E510 has one USB 2.0 port as an M8 IP67 connector (Female).
This port provides both a data connecon and power output for
an IoT device such as a BLE Smart Beacon or ZigBee dongle.
A USB cable with an M8 connector at one end and a USB 2.0
Type-A connector at the other end can be aached to the female
M8 connector on the E510 AP module.
A USB Module Accessory can be purchased separately, and comes
with a 3m USB cable (RUCKUS PN# 902-2003-0000).
NOTE: Please refer to the E510 USB Cable Quick Setup Guide
for more informaon.
