Suspended Mount - Aerohive Networks AP121 Hardware Reference Manual

Suspended Mount

You can suspend the AP340 from a horizontal beam, post, strut, or girder. As well as the mounting plate, you
need a quad-toggle, a 1.5 mm (0.059 inch) wire rope with hook, and a locking device. ERICO
these items in its CADDY
that for the set that includes the wire rope, hook, and locking device is SLD15L2S. These items are available
through various suppliers.
1. With the recessed side of the mounting plate facing downward, insert the four ends of the quad-toggle
through holes in the mounting plate.
2. Turn the AP340 face down and attach it to the mounting plate (see
Figure 16 Connecting the quad-toggle and AP340 to the mounting plate

To secure the four strands to the mounting plate:
1. Insert the metal cleat at the end of a strand
through a hole in the plate.
2. Slide the oblong washer along the strand and
pass it through the hole.
3. Pull the strand upward to lock the cleat and
washer against the underside of the plate.
Align the V-shaped tabs on

the mounting plate with the
tab slots on the bottom of the
device and push on the tabs
until they click into place.
3. Draw the wire rope over a support beam, fasten the hook around the wire, and pull the wire until the
hook is snug against the underside of the beam.
4. Push the plain end of the wire rope—the end without the hook—through the side hole in the locking
device in the direction indicated by the arrow on its side, and then pass it through the loop at the end of
the quad-toggle.
5. Insert the wire rope back through the center hole in the locking device, and then continue pulling it
through the locking device until the AP340 is suspended at the height you want (see
page 80).
The center tube that runs through the locking device is designed to allow you to pull the rope wire up
through it while preventing the rope from slipping back down. If you ever pull too much rope through
and need to pull it back down, use a tool such as a screw driver to press against the inner tube in the
locking device to release the rope. Then you can pull it back out (see
