Suspended Ceiling T-Bar Mount Instructions
Ceiling mount requires holding the AP-8432 up against the T-bar of a suspended ceiling
grid and twisting the unit on to the T-bar. If deploying the AP-8432 on a sculpted ceiling T-
Bar, the Access Point mounting kit (Part No. KT-135628-01) can optionally be used as well.
1
Install the mounting bracket on the T-bar, then attach the mounting bracket using the
mounting slots on the Access Point.
2 Cable the Access Point using either the Power Injector solution (AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR) or
the approved AP-8432 power supply (PWR-BGA48V45W0WW).
For Power Injector installations:
CAUTION
If not using an AP-PSBIAS-2P3-ATR Power Injector, ensure only the AP-8432’s
designated power supply (PWR-BGA48V45W0WW) is used to supply power
to the Access Point. Using an incorrectly rated power supply could damage the
Access Point and void the product warranty. Do not actually connect to the
power source until the cabling portion of the installation is complete.
