Above the Ceiling Tiles

The AP 3600 and 3700 are rated for installation in the Plenum area (UL-2043). Many customers prefer
to locate the AP so that nothing can be visible on the ceiling. In some cases this is preferred for aesthetic
reasons, so customers may install the AP above a drop ceiling. This also may be preferred in high theft
areas such as classrooms or in areas where policy dictates that nothing can be visible on the ceiling.
When this is a hard requirement, optional T-Bar hangar accessories from third-party companies, such as
Erico and Cooper, can be used (Figure 22). The Erico Caddy 512a, the Cooper B-Line BA50a, or similar
T-Bar Grid T-Bar hangars can be used.
