AP-65-MNT-WJ Access Point EnclosureInstallation Guide

IntroductionThe AP-65-MNT-WJ access point (AP) enclosure allows you to install an Aruba Networks AP-65 access point on the wall, directly over an installed junction box.

The AP-65-MNT-WJ kit includes the following pieces:

Plastic base plate to attach over a standard installed junction box

Plastic wall box

One of the following plastic faceplate styles (depending on which model you ordered):

Three openings for Krone, Keystone, or Leviton connectors

Three openings for Siemon 45° connectors

Blank

Blank fillers as needed for unused faceplate openings

Two screws to attach the faceplate to the enclosure:

Pan-head screw

Torx screw with matching Torx key

Labels and cover windows

Before You Install the AP EnclosureYou need the following tools to install the AP enclosure:

Screwdriver to match the screws in the cover plate over the installed junction box

#1 Phillips screwdriver for the cover plate retaining screw on the AP enclosure

(Optional) side cutters or similar tool to cut out openings for cable raceways or power connection access

To use the enclosure with surface mounted cable raceways, prepare the box before installation. On the inside of the box, at the top and bottom, are marked areas that you can cut out to allow cable access (see Figure 1).

To use an external power supply, cut out the marked area at the lower right corner of the box (see Figure 1).
