 Mark the structural ceiling for lag eye 
 bolt installation.
4. Cut the Ceiling Tile.
a.  Mark the location of the PCM 340 on the 
T-frame. This aids putting it back in the correct 
location when the tile is replaced. 
TIP:  Mark the screen direction on back 
of the tile (for example with an arrow or 
“to front”) to help orientation of tile when 
replacing it after cutting
b.  Measure the distances X and Y (see the figure 
at right) from the inner vertical section of the 
front and left T-frame runners to the center of 
the Pipe Adapter Plate. 
Using the X and Y dimensions, mark and cut a 
hole for the slotted pipe in the ceiling tile.
TIP:  Place the tile on a box and mark the 
center of the hole on the underside of the 
tile. Use a hole saw bit to start to cut the 
hole by hand (turning bit counter clock-
wise) to avoid damaging the tile. When the 
drill bit is through the tile, turn the tile over 
and finish cutting from the top side
5. Preliminary Safety Hardware Installation
a.  Mark and drill holes at 10 degrees out from 
vertical for each turnbuckle. Drill a fifth hole 
directly centered above the PCM 340 for the 
safety cable.
b.  Install an appropriate anchor or lag eye bolt for 
the structural ceiling into each drilled hole.
