that is attached to the T-bar box hanger.
The AP200 antennas should point straight down for this type of installation. You may
need to modify thicker tiles to support this installation.
Warning! When installed in air-handling spaces, such as above a suspended ceiling,
the AP200 is to be powered via PoE only (PoE is required).
Warning! The AP200 with the metal enclosure exposed meets the requirements for
fire resistance and low smoke-generating characteristics required by Section 300-
22(C) of the National Electrical Code (NEC) for installation in a building's
environmental air space. You must remove the plastic enclosure to reveal the
plenum-rated AP200 metal case for installations above a suspended ceiling.

in plenums and environmental air space (in accordance with Section 300-22(C) of the
NEC).
