Find a flat work surface to assemble
the
ceiling enclosure
,
access point
and
antenna(s)
prior to mounting in
ceiling.
Step 1 –
Remove the metal hole
cover(s) and install clamp
connector(s). Use two clamp
connectors if both power and data
lines are to be installed. If only a data
line is required (when using power
over Ethernet), only one clamp
connector will be required (Reference
Figure 1
).
Step 2
–
A mounting plate is provided that supports most commonly
used access points. Install the access point in the enclosure by
attaching per the manufacturers instructions (Reference
Figure 2
).
For specific hole locations for various manufacturers access points,
reference the mounting plate legend provided with the enclosure.
Step 3 – If applicable, install the antenna(s) per the instructions
included with optional antenna kit. After installation, connect the
RF
coax
cable from the
antenna
to the
access point
.
The assembled unit is now ready for wall or ceiling installation.

Step 4 –
To prepare the wall/ceiling for installation, cut a
14" X 14" square hole in the gypsum board (Reference
Figure 3
). The hole should be located centrally between
two adjacent studs/joists. There must be a minimum of
4" of free space available behind the wall to allow for
clearance of the enclosure.

Prepare wall or ceiling by cutting 14" X 14" opening.
Note: Take proper safety precautions as many
wall/ceiling areas may have electrical or plumbing
located behind them.

WALL MOUNTING:
Step 5 –
To install the enclosure in the wall, bring the data
and, if required power lines into the enclosure through the
cable clamps.
Position the enclosure so that the mounting holes are centrally
located with the studs (Reference
Figure 4
).
For metal studs, use #10 sheet metal screws (or, for wood
studs, use #10 wood screws). The screws should be a
minimum of 1" in length.
Securely tighten the screws, being sure that the screw is
inserted directly into the stud*.
*NOTE: Alternatively, if no studs are available for mounting, drywall anchors may be used.
CEILING MOUNTING:
Step 6 – Run the data and power cable (if required) through the conduit connectors located on sides of the
access point
enclosure
. In order to maintain a separation of signal and power, install the data and power cables through opposite sides of
the enclosure utilizing the two knock-outs provided. Insert foam into the conduit connector and pull the data cable through far
enough to allow attachment to the access point (8" - 10"). Carefully tighten conduit connector around fire block foam just
enough to fill in gaps around cable. Be careful not to over tighten and crush the data cable(s), as this can affect cable
performance.
Position the enclosure so that the mounting holes are centrally located with the joists (Reference
Figure 5
).

For metal joists, use #10 sheet metal screws (or, for wood joists, use #10 wood screws). The screws should be a minimum of
2" in length.
