MEMS T INGLE NSTALLATION Determine the MEMS Tilt Beam installation orientation (i.e. Is the Beam to be installed on the ceiling, wall, or floor). Refer to Figure 4 and adjust mounting brackets accordingly. 1. Thread a 10mm nut onto each anchor until they reach the desired position (ensure the nuts are in plane) 2. -
