2.8 External Antenna Suspended Ceiling Tile (Plenum) Mount

Ceiling mount requires placing the AP6522E Access Point above suspended ceiling tile.

NOTE

CAUTION

• Security cable (optional)

• Mounting ears

• Customer supplied pipe or channel clamps

2.8.2 Ceiling Mount Procedure

1. If possible, remove the ceiling tile from its frame and place it, finish side down, on a work surface.

2. If required, install and attach a Kensington security cable (customer provided) to the unit's lock port.

3. Place the Access Point on the ceiling tile or attach to a plenum beam or pipe using industry available

clamps.

4. Attach appropriate antennas to the connectors.

5. Bring the tile into the ceiling space

6. Attach an Ethernet cable from the Access Point to a controller with an 802.3af compatible power source

or use the PWRS-14000-148R power supply to supply power to the AP-6522E (once fully cabled).

7. Verify the Access Point is receiving power by observing the LEDs.

8. Place the ceiling tile back in its frame.

CAUTION

Notes or warnings about suspended ceiling mounts apply to all

installations where the unit is placed on suspended ceiling tile.

Motorola Solutions does not recommend mounting the AP6522E

Access Point directly to any suspended ceiling tile with a thickness

less than 12.7mm (0.5in.) or a suspended ceiling tile with an

unsupported span greater than 660mm (26in.). Motorola Solutions

strongly recommends fitting the AP6522E Access Point with the

supplied mounting ears and hanging the Access Point on a pipe or

beam.

If not using an 802.3af capable controller to power the AP-6522E,

ensure only the AP-6522E's designated power supply

(PWRS-14000-148R) is used to supply power to the Access Point.

Using an incorrectly rated power supply could damage the unit and

void the product warranty. Do not actually connect to the power

source until the cabling portion of the installation is complete.
