Install Mounting Hardware
3A—Ceiling Mount
We recommend use of the supplied AP mounting plate, which offers a more secure mount and ease of dismount.
1.
Remove the mounting plate from the back of the AP (push it against the AP and twist it to the left). Use the
holes on the mounting plate to mark the placement of at least two user-supplied screws to install in the ceiling.
If not using the mounting plate, mark the locations for the two mounting screws on the ceiling—the centers are
3.5” (8.9 cm) apart.
2.
Drill and prepare holes for the screws as appropriate.
3.
Cut an access hole for the cable(s) in the ceiling and draw enough cable through to attach to the AP after it is
installed.
4.
If using the mounting plate, align it over the prepared holes. Secure the plate with the screws. Do not over-
tighten.
If not using the mounting plate, install two screws at the marked locations so that they protrude 1/8” (.3 cm)
between the mounting surface and the head of the screw.
5.
Proceed to “Connect Cables and Install AP” on page 4.
NOTE: The AP must not be disassembled! If not using the mounting plate, do not remove the back of the AP to tighten the
screws after mounting to ceiling.
3B—Ceiling Grid Mount with Mounting Plate
1.
Remove the mounting plate from the back of the AP (push it against the
AP and twist it to the left). 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 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.
