different from pictures and are subject to change without notice.
TERMS OF USE: Ubiquiti radio devices must be professionally installed. Shielded Ethernet
cable and earth grounding must be used as conditions of product warranty. TOUGHCable™is
designed for outdoor installations. It is the customer’s responsibility to follow local country
regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, and Dynamic
Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements.

Installation Requirements
• 10 mm or 3/8" wrench
• Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for
all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded
through the AC ground of the PoE.
We recommend that you protect your networks from
harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events
with industrial‑grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks. For more details, visit:

Application Examples
The airGrid mounted outdoors with the Grid Reflector
installed provides directional outdoor coverage (gain
reflector‑dependent).
The airGrid mounted outdoors without the Grid Reflector
installed provides outdoor‑to‑indoor coverage using the 3 dBi
Antenna Feed only.

LEDs
Signal In airOS, you can modify the wireless
signal strength threshold values for each LED on
the Advanced tab under Signal LED Thresholds.
The default values are shown below:
LED will light green when the wireless
signal strength is above ‑65 dBm.
LED will light green when the wireless
signal strength is above ‑73 dBm.
LED will light amber when the wireless
signal strength is above ‑80 dBm.
LED will light red when the wireless signal
strength is above ‑94 dBm.
Ethernet The Ethernet LED will light steady
green when an active Ethernet connection is
made and flash when there is activity.
Power The Power LED will light green when the
device is connected to a power source.

Hardware Installation
Assemble the airGrid according to your chosen polarization.
1. Attach the L-Bracket to the Grid Reflector by sliding the tabs
into the slots.
Vertical Polarization Horizontal Polarization
IMPORTANT: The polarization of the airGrids must
match on both ends of the wireless link (horizontal to
horizontal, vertical to vertical).
2. On the front of the airGrid, ensure the polarization indicator,
Vor H, properly matches your desired polarization.

Installer Compliance Responsibility
Devices must be professionally installed and it is the
professional installer's responsibility to make sure the device is
operated within local country regulatory requirements.
Since Ubiquiti Networks equipment can be paired with a
variety of antennas and cables, the Antenna and Output Power
fields are provided to the professional installer to assist in
meeting regulatory requirements.
