2.7.4 Above the Ceiling (Plenum) Installations
An AP-5131 above the ceiling installation requires placing the AP-5131 above a suspended ceiling
and installing the provided light pipe under the ceiling tile for viewing the rear panel status LEDs of
the unit. An above the ceiling AP-5131 installation enables installations compliant with drop ceilings,
suspended ceilings and industry standard tiles from .625 to .75 inches thick.
The mounting hardware required to install the AP-5131 above a ceiling consists of:
•
Light pipe
•
Badge for light pipe
•
Decal for badge
•
Safety wire (strongly recommended)
•
Security cable (optional)
To install the AP-5131 above a ceiling:
1.
If possible, remove the adjacent ceiling tile from its frame and place it aside.
2.
Install a safety wire, between 1.5mm (.06in.) and 2.5mm (.10in.) in diameter, in the ceiling
space.
3.
If required, install and attach a security cable to the AP-5131’s lock port.
4.
Mark a point on the finished side of the tile where the light pipe is to be located.
5.
Create a light pipe path hole in the target position on the ceiling tile.
6.
Use a drill to make a hole in the tile the approximate size of the AP-5131 LED light pipe.
NOTE
The AP-5131 is Plenum rated to UL2043 and NEC1999 to support above
the ceiling installations.
CAUTION
Motorola does not recommend mounting the AP-5131 directly to any
suspended ceiling tile with a thickness less than 12.7mm (0.5in.) or a
suspended ceiling tile with an unsupported span greater than 660mm
(26in.). Motorola strongly recommends fitting the AP-5131 with a
safety wire suitable for supporting the weight of the device. The
safety wire should be a standard ceiling suspension cable or
equivalent steel wire between 1.59mm (.062in.) and 2.5mm (.10in.) in
diameter.
