Ubiquiti UniFi U7 LR Access Point Installation Guide

Before You Begin

This guide outlines the installation process for the Ubiquiti UniFi U7 LR Access Point. Ensure you have the necessary tools and components before starting.

Required Tools:

• Pencil
• Drill
• Drill bits: Ø5 mm (3/16") and Ø18 mm (11/16")
• Screwdriver (Phillips head)

Included Parts:

• 1x Mounting Bracket (c)
• 4x Wall Anchors (g)
• 4x Mounting Screws (h)
• 1x UniFi U7 LR Access Point (a)
• 1x PoE Injector (if applicable, not explicitly shown as a separate part but implied by PoE connection)

Step 1: Mark Mounting Location

Place the mounting bracket (c) against the wall where you intend to install the access point. Use a pencil to mark the screw hole locations.

Step 2: Drill Pilot Holes

Using the Ø5 mm (3/16") drill bit, drill pilot holes at the marked locations on the wall.

Step 3: Drill Larger Holes (if needed)

If mounting on a surface that requires larger anchors or for cable pass-through, use the Ø18 mm (11/16") drill bit to enlarge the appropriate hole(s).

Step 4: Insert Wall Anchors

Insert the wall anchors (g) into the drilled holes. Gently tap them in if necessary until they are flush with the wall surface.

Step 5: Attach Mounting Bracket

Align the mounting bracket (c) with the wall anchors. Secure the bracket to the wall using the mounting screws (h) and a screwdriver. Ensure the bracket is firmly attached.

Step 6: Connect Ethernet Cable

Connect an Ethernet cable (carrying PoE power) to the port on the back of the UniFi U7 LR Access Point (a). The cable should be routed through the wall or ceiling to the mounting location.

Step 7: Mount Access Point

Align the UniFi U7 LR Access Point (a) with the mounting bracket (c) on the wall. Push the access point onto the bracket and rotate it clockwise until it locks into place. A click sound or tactile feedback indicates it is secured.

Step 8: Network Configuration Options

The UniFi U7 LR Access Point can be deployed in different network configurations. Two common scenarios are illustrated:

Note: The diagram for Option B also shows a separate path for the UniFi Access Point connecting directly to PoE power and then to the network, indicating it can be powered via PoE injector or switch.

Step 9: Setup and Management

Download the UniFi Network application from the App Store (Apple) or Google Play Store (Android) to manage your UniFi devices, including the U7 LR Access Point. Follow the in-app instructions to discover and adopt the access point into your network.
