INSTALLATION & OPERATION
Canopy Splice
A ceiling alignment bracket must be field-installed to align the ceiling panels prior to canopy alignment. The canopy will come with factory-
installed end caps on the first and last cases in a lineup. At each case joint, a canopy splice will need to be installed (
).
On cases with aluminum canopies, the factory-installed splice must be aligned in the field. Use a rubber mallet to slide the canopy splice over to
the adjacent canopy until the canopies are aligned. You may need to loosen the canopy screws if canopies are not within 3/8".
On cases with angled sheet metal canopies, the splice is shipped loose. Fit it over both canopies and screw into place.
Hand Rail Splice
Some cases will have the standard bumper and handrail. When joining these cases, insert the front of the hand rail trim splice into the slot at the
front bottom of the hand rail (
). Form the trim piece over the hand rail and fasten it in the back (
