Warning

Statement 1017—Restricted Area This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. Only skilled, instructed, or qualified personnel can access a restricted access area.

Warning

Statement 1022—Disconnect Device To reduce the risk of electric shock and fire, a readily accessible disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

Warning

Statement 9001—Product Disposal Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.

Warning

Statement 1046—Installing or Replacing the Unit To reduce risk of electric shock, when installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. If your unit has modules, secure them with the provided screws.

Warning

Statement 1062—Remove Power Before Disconnecting Explosion Hazard—Do not connect or disconnect any connector to this equipment unless power has been removed or you have verified that the area is nonhazardous. Secure any external connections that connect to this equipment by using screws, sliding latches, threaded connectors, or other means provided with this product.

Warning

Statement 1074—Comply with Local and National Electrical Codes To reduce risk of electric shock or fire, installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.

Warning

If you connect or disconnect the console cable with power applied to the unit or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

Caution

This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D or non-hazardous locations.

For safety and to achieve a good installation, please read and follow these safety precautions:

• Cisco Catalyst IW9167E Heavy Duty Access Points are only intended to be installed vertically with antennas facing up. Any other mounting orientation will compromise the IP66/67 and type 4X ingress ratings required for safety and hazardous locations compliance.

• Select your installation site with safety and performance in mind. Remember: electric power lines and phone lines look alike. For safety, assume that any overhead line can kill.

• Call your electric power company. Tell them your plans, and ask them to look at your proposed installation.

• Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Successful raising of a mast or tower is largely a matter of coordination. Each person should be assigned to a specific task and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue instructions and watch for signs of trouble.

• When installing the access point and antennas, remember:

  • Do not use a metal ladder.

  • Do not work on a wet or windy day.

  • Do dress properly—shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, long sleeved shirt or jacket.

• Use a rope to lift the access point. If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall.

• If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call your local power company. They will remove it safely.

If an accident should occur, call for qualified emergency help immediately.

This section describes special considerations for preparing the Catalyst IW9167EH-HZ access point for installation in Class I, Division 2/Zone 2 hazardous locations.

Note	This document does not provide specific procedures for installing conduit. You must ensure that your installation techniques and procedures comply with Class I, Division 2/Zone 2 hazardous location installation regulations for your geographic location.

Note	Do not thread ¾" NPT conduit into the Catalyst IW9167EH-HZ model's I/O ports..

Loctite 565 Thread Sealant needs to be applied to the threads prior to the installation. You should supply certified 1/2” NPT conduit, gland, or adapter for each port used for appropriate installation. (For example, Sealcon provides glands and adapters that are certified. See https://www.sealconex.com/?ex=9wkuir-fln65y-13897wy-drrs7y.)

In order to prevent an electro static discharge within a hazardous location, only touch with an insulating object or use means to continuously drain off electrostatic charges in the installation.

The access point requires minimal periodic or preventive maintenance as it has no moving parts, filters, lubricants, or mechanical contact components. However, when installed in a hazardous location, periodic inspections should be conducted in order to ensure that the access point is operating satisfactory. This section provides information about performing maintenance on an access point installed in a hazardous location.

When removing an access point from service, make sure you remove power from the access point before opening the cover and disconnecting the power input wiring. When removing the AC wiring, remember that the ground connection should be the last to be disconnected.
