Using one of the track clips included in the box with the HiveAP, you can mount it to a track in a dropped ceiling
grid. To mount the HiveAP to any flat surface that can support its weight (1.75 lb., 0.8 kg), use two #6 or #8 screws
to mount it on a wall and three screws to mount it on a ceiling.
Ceiling Mount
To mount a HiveAP series device to a track in a dropped ceiling, use the appropriate track clip for the width of the
ceiling track. Two clips ship with the HiveAP: one for 1" (2.54 cm) tracks and one for 1/2" (1.27 cm) tracks.
1. Nudge the ceiling tiles slightly away from the track to clear some space, and slide one tab of the track clip over
the edge of the track.
2. With the tips of the track clip prongs positioned against the middle of the track, press upward on the other tab
until it clears the track edge, as shown in Figure 4 . Keeping the prongs away from the track edges until both
tabs grip the track ensures that the clip does not snap into place prematurely with only one tab in position.

Note: In addition to these methods, you can also mount the HiveAP on a table using the set of four rubber feet
that ship with the product. Simply peel the rubber feet off the adhesive sheet and press them against the
underside of the HiveAP in its four corners.

Position the clip so one tab is over the
edge of the ceiling track. (The ceiling
track is shown as transparent to expose
the tab above the track.)
The two prongs press upward against
the middle of the ceiling track.
2
Press the other tab upward,
flexing the prongs against
the track until the tab clears
the edge of the track.
