The recommended mounting of the UniFi AP AC Outdoor is

on a pole. Optionally, the UniFi AP may be installed on a wall

using additional hardware.

Pole Mount

1. Insert two Carriage Bolts into each Pole Clamp and install

the Flange Nuts as far down the bolts as necessary to

accommodate the pole.

Note: The mounting assembly can accommodate a

Ø 1.5" - 3.0" pole.

2. Attach one of the Pole Clamps to the pole by sliding the

Carriage Bolts around the pole and into the top two slots of

the Mounting Bracket.

3. Uniformly hand-tighten each Flange Nut. Ensure the Pole

Clamp is evenly clamped around the pole and tighten each

Flange Nut to approximately 25 N-m (18 lb-ft).

4. Attach the other Pole Clamp to the pole by sliding the

Carriage Bolts around the pole and into the bottom two

slots of the Mounting Bracket.

5. Uniformly hand-tighten each Flange Nut. Ensure the Pole

Clamp is evenly clamped around the pole and tighten each

Flange Nut to approximately 25 N-m (18 lb-ft).

6. Attach the UniFi AP to the Mounting Bracket:

a. Position the UniFi AP with the Mounting Bracket aligned

between the mounting tabs on the back of the UniFi AP.

b. Slide the UniFi AP downward into the grooves of the

Mounting Bracket until the snap pins engage and lock

the UniFi AP in place.

Wall Mount

To mount the UniFi AP on a wall, securely attach the Mounting

Bracket to the wall using four fasteners (not included).

Note: The Mounting Bracket must attach directly to a

stud or other structurally stable surface.

1. Locate the stud.

2. Position the Mounting Bracket on the stud, ensuring at least

two holes are centered on the stud.

3. Mark all four holes on the wall.

4. Drill pilot holes as necessary.

5. Secure the Mounting Bracket to the wall with four fasteners.
