Mounting The Intellivue Smart-Hopping Ra Below A Ceiling Tile - Philips ITS4843B Installation Manual

Mounting the IntelliVue Smart-hopping RA Below a Ceiling Tile (Quick
Release)
You can mount the IntelliVue Smart-hopping Remote Antenna below a ceiling tile by
using an optional quick release wall plate along with the mounting rails provided in
the Above & Below Ceiling Tile Mount Kit (862415-K05) for the Core AP and Remote
Antennas. Use of this wall plate enables you to relocate 1.4 GHz IntelliVue Smart-
hopping RAs within your facility quickly and easily.
Caution When installing the IntelliVue Access Point onto a suspended ceiling, make certain
the ceiling grid is structurally rated to support the weight of the Access Point, 0.7kg
(1.5 lbs), and any extra cabling.
To mount the 1.4 GHz IntelliVue Smart-hopping RA below a ceiling tile:
1. Determine which ceiling tile the RA will be mounted onto, and the approximate
placement of the RA and orientation of the antennas hanging down from the
ceiling tile.
2. Remove the ceiling tile to which the RA will be mounted (and also the adjacent
tile to facilitate installation).
3. Refer to Figure 2-23 for all dimensions and hole locations. Place the mounting
rails across the tile (underside of tile). For ceiling tiles that are smaller than
standard 2' x 4' size ceiling tile, the mounting rails can be cut down in length at
the u-shaped cutouts.
4. Mark the location of the "RB" screw holes in the mounting rails on the ceiling
tile where the holes will be drilled through the tile as shown in Figure 2-24. Drill
four 0.25-inch (6 mm) diameter holes in the ceiling tile.
5. Determine where the two holes for the Remote Antenna cabling are going to be
located on the tile and mark the centers of the hole.
6. Drill or cut out a 0.813-inch (21 mm) diameter hole for the Core AP cable to be
connected to the RA. Lightly coat a plastic grommet with silicone adhesive and
insert it into each hole in the tile (insert grommet from the outside of the tile).
7. Place the wall plate over the four holes drilled on the bottom of the tile. Note:
The top direction is as when the tile is in its installed position.
8. Insert the four (4) M3-.5 x 30 lobe screws into the RA mounting rail holes,
through the ceiling tile, through the provided plastic spacers, and into the
mating holes in the back of the wall plate.
9. Fit the openings in the back of the RA chassis over the two mounting studs that
protrude from the wall plate and then slide the RA chassis so that the mounting
studs are securely in the grooves in the back of the RA chassis.
