the electric wires around, and tighten the pole.
Without tighten the CPE AP, the pole and the installed site is with
electric wire around, there could be danger of being hurt by falling
or lethal injury.
2. Strongly suggest using SFTP cable (PLANET offers 25-meter SFTP cable, please
contact with local dealer for more information.) for waterproof and avoiding
thunder stroke, connect the RJ45 cable connector of the WAP-6200 to the
“P+DATA OUT” port of PoE Injector.
Note
Strongly suggest using SFTP cable, for better protection of the data
wire. 25-meter SFTP cable also available by order, the part no is
WL-SFTP-25. Please contact with local dealer for more information.

3. Be noticed, there are 2 ways for RJ45 cable connector avoiding water or thunder
stoke.
a. Stick and bind with rubber mastic tape on RJ45 cable connector after
connecting cable to “P+DATA OUT” port of PoE Injector.
b. After connecting cable to “P+DATA OUT” port of PoE Injector, open the Back
Cover and put the RJ45 cable connector inside of Back Cover, then plug the
Back Cover to CPE Set for preventing water.
4. Using Category 3 or higher UTP or STP cable, connect the “DATA IN” port of PoE
Injector to a 10Mbps or 10/100Mbps Ethernet hub or switch, and connect the PC
on the same LAN for management.
Note
To avoid thunder strike, consider to install ELA-100, thunder
arrester toward the CPE AP and the PoE injector.
5. Connect the power cord to the PoE Injector, and plug it into an AC outlet to
power on the WAP-6200.

OUTDOOR INSTALLATION WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
LIVES MAY BE AT RISK! Carefully observe these instructions and any special
instructions that are included with the equipment you are installing.
CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL.
Make sure no power lines are
anywhere where possible contact
can be made. Antennas, masts,
towers, guy wires or cables may
lean or fall and contact these limes.
People may be injured or killed if
they are touching or holding any
part of equipment when it contacts
electric lines. Make sure there is
NO possibility that equipment or
personnel can come in contact
directly or indirectly with power
lines.
Assume all overhead lines are power lines.
The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line
should be at least twice the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This will
ensure that the mast will not contact power if it falls either during installation or
later.
TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT
HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND.
Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation.
Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident
happens.
Use approved non-conducting lasers and other safety equipment. Make sure all
equipment is in good repair.
If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let
it fall.
If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line,
DON’T TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. Instead, save your life by
calling the power company.
Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.

MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND
ELECTRICAL CABLES CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING
ARRESTORS. This will help prevent re damage or human injury in case of
lightning, static build-up, or short circuit within equipment connected to the
antenna.
The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the
building protective ground or to one or more approved grounding rods, using 1
OAWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors.
Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.
IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND
CANNOT MOVE:
DON’T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.
Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them so they no
longer are in contact with electrical power.
Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are
certied, and make sure that emergency medical aid has been requested.
