CMA-440 Light Weight
Suspended Ceiling Kit
The CMA-440 Light Weight Suspended Ceiling Kit provides a
sturdy support for LCD/DLP hanging brackets (and certain
other products weighing less than 50 pounds) when installing
these products in a suspended ceiling.
The Kit includes a 8 x 24 in. (203 x 610 mm) reinforcing plate
that will be suspended by four tie wires from the true ceiling
above the suspended ceiling tiles. Turnbuckles allow the instal-
lation to be fine-tuned.
The reinforcing plate can be installed anywhere above a
2' x 2' (600 X 600mm) or 2' x 4' (600 X 1200mm) ceiling tile.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
• CAUTION: To prevent damage to the Kit, which could affect or void the Factory warranty, and to the equipment that
will be attached to it, thoroughly study all instructions and illustrations before you begin the installation. Pay particu-
lar attention to the "Important Precautions" on Page 1.
• The maximum weight to be installed on the CMA-440 mount is 50 pounds (22.68 Kg).
• The ceiling tray is designed to fit above a conventional suspended ceiling system.
• If you have any questions about this installation, contact Chief Manufacturing at 1-800-582-6480.
• In certain installations, it may be easier to install the ceiling anchors (page 3) before you attach the hanger brackets to the ceil-
ing tray.
