PS-5AC Quick Start Guide

Horn-5-90
U-OMT-Dish
The GPS Antenna needs to have clear line of sight to the sky for proper GPS operation.
13 mm wrench
5 mm hex socket (recommended for the Mounting Bracket)
Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling with drain wire 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.
For more details, visit ui.com/toughcable
Surge protection should be used for all outdoor installations. We recommend that you
use two Ethernet Surge Protectors, model ETH-SP, one near the PrismStation and the
other at the entry point to the building. The ETH-SP will absorb power surges and safely
discharge them into the ground.

Electrical Safety Information
1. Compliance is required with respect to voltage, frequency, and current requirements indicated on
the manufacturer’s label. Connection to a different power source than those specied may result in
improper operation, damage to the equipment or pose a re hazard if the limitations are not
followed.
2. There are no operator serviceable parts inside this equipment. Service should be provided only by a
qualied service technician.
3. This equipment is provided with a detachable power cord which has an integral safety ground wire
intended for connection to a grounded safety outlet.
a. Do not substitute the power cord with one that is not the provided approved type. Never use an
adapter plug to connect to a 2-wire outlet as this will defeat the continuity of the grounding
wire.
b. The equipment requires the use of the ground wire as a part of the safety certication,
modication or misuse can provide a shock hazard that can result in serious injury or death.
c. Contact a qualied electrician or the manufacturer if there are questions about the installation
prior to connecting the equipment.
