Section 3
Ceiling Structure Construction and Mounting
The Ceiling Mount system will experience various levels of dynamic off center moment during regular use.
Therefore, it is crucial that the ceiling structure be strong enough to uphold the weight of the system and support
the positioning arms and light head
without deflection. The owner and/or owner’s contractor has the final
responsibility for the strength and rigidity of the ceiling structure. An inadequate ceiling structure may result in
serious injury, unintended drift, and/or equipment damage.
Because t
he ceiling structure is the owner’s
responsibility, the design and construction recommendation shown below covers only one of the many
possible alternatives that can be used.
Medical Illumination highly recommends that the owner consult a
structural engineer prior to designing and installing the ceiling structure.
Recommended Ceiling Structure Construction Details
The illustrations below are suggested mounting schemes per 2001 California Building Code
– Section 1632A:
Anchorage and Seismic. For any other mounting scheme, please consult a structural engineer and/or professional
contractor for the best solution for your situation. Installation and repair of this equipment should be performed by
qualified persons only. Medical Illumination does not warranty any damage occurring as a result of improper
installation.

Ceiling Cover
The Standard Ceiling Cover is included with the system and can be used in most installations. If the finished ceiling
level is above the mounting plate, or there is a larger ceiling opening, a larger Ceiling Cover is available.
