Mounting Below a Suspended Ceiling
The optional suspended ceiling mounting kit allows the AP150 mounting bracket to
attach to suspended ceiling T-rails (see Figure 37).
Note:
To comply with NEC code, attach a grounding wire to any of the screws used
to attach the AP150 to the mounting bracket.
Figure 37: Mounting the AP150 to a Suspended Ceiling Rail
To mount an AP150 below a suspended ceiling:
1. Using a 1/8" Allen wrench, remove the shoulder screws from the mounting
bracket, if already attached.
2. Determine the location on the ceiling rail where the AP will be mounted and
remove the ceiling tiles.
3. Place each of the two caddy fasteners on the ceiling T-rail and twist to attach to
the rail.
4. Adjust the distance between the caddy fasteners by using the mounting bracket
holes as a guide.
5. Tighten the caddy fasteners in place using a standard screwdriver. Do not
overtighten.
6. Place each spacer on the caddy fastener stud. The spacer legs should contact the
ceiling T-rail.
7. Align the mounting bracket keyholes with the caddy fastener studs and slide the
AP150 to the narrow end of the hole.
