PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Any unauthorized modications or replacement of
components may violate FCC regulation and be
cause to invalidate FCC authorization.
The RA200 family is a cloud-managed Service-
Ready Access Point (SR-AP) offering Edge
Computing and storage capabilities with a high-
performance wireless access point integrated.
It enables businesses to deliver superior venue
experiences, enhance business operations, and
create competitive advantages. The RA200 family
consists of various models—including the RA250,
RA270, RA275, and RA280—to support various

Opening the Package
• Please ensure that all ordered optional
accessories are included in the separate
accessory box.
• Please peel off the protective lm before using
the AP.
• Please do not use a different power adapter than
the one included with the package.
• Please check the packaging list rst. If there are
any missing or broken parts, please contact the
authorized distributor of Relay2, Inc.
Warranty
• Please provide the device model, MAC address,
and serial number shown on the tag of the rear
panel.
• The warranty does not cover a product that has
been opened without authorization from Relay2
Inc.
• Reasonable repair and shipping costs will be
charged for product faults or damage caused
by using non-Relay2 accessories or improper
operation.
Safety
• Read the hardware installation guide carefully
before installation and power up.
• The power supply can be either a 48 VDC power
adapter or an IEEE 802.3at-compatible PoE+.
• Make sure the power input matches the voltage
range of the power adapter.
• To avoid overheating, make sure the AP allows for
proper heat dissipation, and leave enough room
for air circulation.
• To avoid scalding, do not directly touch the
bottom of the AP. When the AP is in operation,
the surface temperature of the back plate will be
very hot.
• Any unauthorized modication of the product
structure and safety design is not allowed.
• Do not put anything on top of the AP. If the AP
gets liquid in it, please disconnect the power
supply, disconnect all network connections, and
contact the authorized distributor of Relay2, Inc.
Before You Start
• Do not install the AP outdoors without a shield.
• Before installation, a signal-detecting test can be
used to determine the best installation position.
• Keep your body at least 20 cm away from the AP
during installation and operation.
• Install the AP at least 1 m distance from any metal
obstructions to avoid radio signals affected by
metal shielding effect.
• To avoid radio interference, keep the device
away from magnets or magnetic elds (i.e., do
not place it near a microwave, refrigerator, etc.)
• If there is a statement prohibiting the use
of wireless devices in restricted places and
explosive areas, please do not install the wireless
AP.
• The wireless AP is equipped with a grounding
screw on the wall-mounting plate; be sure to
tighten the ground wire to the ground screw lock
position to prevent lightning strikes.

CEILING INSTALLATION
Universal Mount
Slide Handle
1. The universal mount is adjustable to three different widths to suit various
ceiling frame sizes: 9/16 in., 15/16 in., and 1 1/2 in.
2. Place the universal mount
over the ceiling frame and
pinch the sliders until the
frame is captured. Tighten
the screws to lock the
sliders in place. Check to
ensure the mount is secure.

1. The universal mount can also be used to install the RA200 on walls.
Drywall, plasterboard, and other similar indoor wall materials are
suitable to secure the access point.

2. Place the universal mount against the wall in the location the AP is to be
installed. Mark the holes with a scribe or pen after the desired positioning
is achieved. With the appropriately sized drill bit, drill four holes in the
wall with the mount in place. The drilled holes should be about the same
diameter as the plastic screw anchors. Remove the mounting plate. Tap
the plastic screw anchors into place with a mallet.
3. Place the mount against the wall and fasten it with the M5 Screws as
shown below.
Insert the screws.
