Please observe the following safety warnings when installing the OBERON 1018-00:

Hand or Power Tools: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for hand or power tools. Always use safety glasses. Failure to do so may result in injury and/or product damage.

Working at Heights: Use caution when working at elevated heights. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for ladders and/or scaffolding. Failure to do so may result in injury or death.

Before you begin, read the installation guide from beginning to end. Read all warnings and cautions before starting the unit installation. It is also important to check with your local building code official to identify and confirm compliance with local building code requirements. The methods described are for a typical environment, and the appropriate method for your installation may vary based on building design, application, and industry practices.

You will need the following tools for installation:

– Phillips-Head Screwdriver

– Flat Head Screwdriver

– Adjustable Wrench

– (Optional) Conduit

The estimated installation time is 15 minutes.

The OBERON 1018-00 includes the following parts:

(1) Base Enclosure

(1) Bottom Panel

(1) Cover

(1) T-Bar Mount

(4) Press Pads

(10) #6-19 x 3/8″ Pan Head Thread-Forming Screws for Plastic

(4) #4-24 x 1-1/2″ Pan Head Screws

(1) Self-Centering 1 in. Trade Size Hole Plug, UL Listed

(1) 1 in. Trade Size Conduit Connector

1. The Cabinet System Communication is configured in the field by qualified service personnel.

2. This enclosure has a maximum operating ambient of 55° C (131° F). The temperature within the enclosure may not exceed this temperature, depending on power dissipation within the enclosure.

3. A minimum air clearance of 1″ between the housing of the access point and the enclosure side walls must be maintained for the safe operation of the equipment.

4. This product is intended to be installed by trained personnel.

5. Only Listed ITE products shall be installed within the enclosure.

6. This product is to be repaired by personnel trained by the manufacturer or returned to the manufacturer for repair or replacement.

7. Maximum weight to be installed in the unit is 10 lbs.

8. All knockouts, openings, and holes shall be sealed with a plug constructed of metal, or a non-metal material that complies with UL 2043 or UL 1479.

9. All unused mounting holes should be sealed with tape or other material that complies with UL 1479.

10. AC Power is not to be used inside the enclosure.

11. A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the building installation wiring.

12. See OSHPD approved installation drawing where applicable.

13. Enclosure must be installed in accordance with requirements of Local Building Codes, Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), CAN/CSA C22.1 and National Electric Code (NEC), NFPA 70. An appropriate disconnect device shall be provided as part of building installation.

1. Cut a 12″ x 12″ opening in the wall where the OBERON 1018-00 is to be mounted. The perimeter flange has slots to allow you to trace the cutout pattern onto the wall if desired. The enclosure is designed to mount in drywall no thicker than 3/4″. The recess box is 3.75″ deep and requires at least that much depth from the front of the wall to recess.

2. The OBERON 1018-00 is shipped with a 1″ trade size metallic hole plug in the conduit opening. The installer must remove this plug before installing. Use a screwdriver to remove the screw holding the plug in place. The plug will then fall out and may be discarded.

3. Attach the conduit connector to the end of the conduit in the wall or ceiling. Tighten the set screw on the conduit.

4. Place the 1018 into the wall cutout with the “TOP” side up. While placing the enclosure into the wall, bring the conduit connector through the hole in the bottom panel. With the conduit connector through the hole, fasten a nut onto the end of the conduit connector to prevent it from backing out. The conduit must be attached to the enclosure per NEC code.

5. Pull the data cable through the conduit far enough (8″ – 10″) to allow attachment to the access point.

6. Tighten the swivel fasteners until they are securely fastened against the wall or ceiling. It is recommended that this is done with a handheld screwdriver to prevent over-torquing.

Cisco APs can be mounted to the enclosure using the AIR-AP-BRACKET-2. Align the Cisco bracket’s single gang outlet box slots with the 1018’s two (2) “D” marked holes (See AP Mounting Legend).

Fasten the Cisco mounting bracket to the 1018 using two (2) of the included #6 thread-forming screws. Plug the data cable into the Cisco AP before attaching the AP to the mounting bracket.

For Aruba 3XX Series APs Only: Attach the AP directly to the provided T-bar mount.

For Aruba 5XX Series APs Only: Remove the mount that came with the Aruba AP, but retain the two (2) screws. Align the two (2) “D” shaped bosses of the AP with the two (2) “D” shaped cutouts in the Oberon T-Bar mount. With the “D” shaped bosses and cutouts aligned, the two (2) threaded holes of the AP should be aligned with two (2) of the six (6) holes on the T-Bar. Fasten the AP to the T-Bar using the two (2) screws previously removed from the AP.

Other APs Only: Attach the AP to the T-bar using the AP vendor’s ceiling grid T-bar attachment method.

For all APs, plug the data cable into the AP prior to fastening the T-Bar to the enclosure. Install the T-Bar using two (2) #6 thread-forming screws, one (1) on each side. The T-Bar can be mounted to the enclosure in either a vertical or horizontal orientation (See sets of “A” marked holes in the AP mounting legend).

This procedure is for Meraki MR33, MR34, MR36, & MR42 Only.

1. Align the Meraki bracket’s “E” marked holes with the two (2) of the 1018’s “C” marked holes (See AP Mounting Legend).

2. Fasten the Meraki mounting bracket to the 1018 using two (2) of the included #6 thread-forming screws.

3. Plug the data cable into the Meraki AP. Attach the Meraki AP to the Meraki mounting bracket.

To attach the snap-on cover, first note that both the recess box and the cover have “TOP” molded into the plastic. Attach the cover by dropping in the “TOP” of the cover into the “TOP” of the recess box. Secure the remaining three (3) edges by pressing on them until they snap into place.

For additional security, the cover can be screwed into place by drilling out the four (4) pilot drill bosses in the corners of the cover. Then screw on the cover, using the included #6 thread-forming screws.

To remove the snap-on cover, insert a small screwdriver into the slots on three of the edges of the cover. Depress the plastic retainer to release the cover. If you paint the snap-on cover, be careful not to allow paint to fill the three (3) slots.
