Prerequisites and preparation for installing the Amazon One Pedestal

Before starting the installation, ensure the following conditions are met for a safe, secure, and effective setup:

  • Power requirements: If you use POE+ (Power over Ethernet) to power the device, verify that Cat6 cabling is already installed, and a POE+ injector or switch is available for use. Alternatively, if AC power (120V) is being used, ensure that an accessible AC outlet is located within 20 feet of the pedestal.

  • Physical setup: The floor must be level, clean, and free of any debris to ensure stable and safe pedestal installation.

  • Pedestal location: Install the pedestal in a location where it will not block doors, lanes, or access points, allowing for easy movement around the area.

  • Cable management: Route and secure all excess cables inside the pedestal to avoid clutter and prevent any potential damage during normal use.

Once these prerequisites are confirmed, you can proceed with the installation process.
