2. INSTALLING THE TOPCAT INTO THE
CEILING GRID
The dimensions of the TOPCAT speaker are 595mm x 595mm and is designed
to lie onto any standard suspended ceiling tile grid. Spacers are attached to
center the TOPCAT in a 2' x 2' or 2' x 4' ceiling grid. (Remove these spacers when
installing into a 600 x 600 mm grid.)
1. If the ceiling tile that was removed is 2' x 4', it needs to be cut in half to
accommodate the TOPCAT. If the ceiling tile that was removed is 2' x 2', no
cutting of the tile is necessary.
2. Set the ceiling tile on a flat work surface with the patterned side facing down.
3. Using a straight edge, cut the 2' x 4' ceiling in half (see figure 2) leaving two 2'
x 2' sections.
4. Locate the 2' ceiling grid t-bar attachment. Locate the attachment slots in
the existing ceiling grid and snap the new t-bar into place to crate two 2' x 2'
openings (see figure 3).
5. Lift the TOPCAT up and lay it into the desired 2' x 2' opening in the ceiling.
