Install Mounting Hardware and AP
3A—Ceiling Mount with Mounting Plate
The following steps use a mounting plate, which offers a more secure mount, ease of dismount, and a locking
option for the AP.
3B—Ceiling Grid Mount with Mounting Plate
1.
For T-Bar clips, use two of the four holes on the AP
mounting plate to mark the placement of two T-bar clips
on the metal ceiling support grid.
Twist the two supplied T-bar clips onto the metal ceiling
grid at the marked locations and tighten the screw posts
to 10-12 lbf.ft (1.38-1.66 kgf.m). Do not over- tighten the
screw posts.
2.
Cut an access hole in the ceiling tile and draw the cable(s) through.
3.
Align the AP mounting plate over the screw posts of the T-Bar bracket or
clips and secure it to the two posts using the nuts provided. Tighten the
nuts to 10-12 lbf.ft (1.38-1.66 kgf.m), but do not over tighten.
4.
Proceed to “Connect Cables and Install AP” on page 4.
