This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing a Lucidity wall-mounted Access Point, an essential component of the OnSite Tap On/Tap Off system. It covers important considerations, required equipment, and the installation process to ensure proper setup and functionality of the Access Point in various environments.

1. Installing a wall-mounted access point

This procedure describes how to install a Lucidity wall-mounted access point.

1.1. Considerations

• Mount the Access Point out of direct sunlight and with weather protection, despite its IP65 rating.
• Ensure any penetrations to the box are watertight.
• Position the box so it doesn't block gate openings.
• Two-person installation is recommended.
• A power point/GPO is required within 75cm of the mounting location for the low voltage DC power supply.

1.2. Equipment list

Included with each Access Point:

• IP65 Access Point enclosure (containing embedded computer and card reader)
• DC power supply plug pack

Required for wall mounting:

• Phillips head screwdriver
• Drill/driver
• Fasteners suitable for wall material
• Optional: Conduit for power supply lead

1.3. Installation

1. Unpack the Access Point and place it on a flat surface.
2. Remove the front panel by unscrewing the 4 corner screws.
3. Determine power lead entry point (bottom or back of enclosure). Consider using conduit if necessary.
4. Mount the access point box to the wall using appropriate fasteners. Fold out the embedded computer bracket for easier access.
5. Reattach the front panel and power on the device. The OnSite app will start automatically.
