3b. SECURING THE TOPCAT (OUTSIDE U.S.
& CANADA)
To comply with Building Codes, the TOPCAT MUST be secured with 2 safety
wires and to the ceiling grid with four screws.
a. Remove the spacer brackets from each of the four sides of the TOPCAT (see
Figure 1 below).
b. Locate the 6m (20ft) length of safety wire. The safety wire needs to be
permanently attached to the solid building structure above.
c. Cut the 6m (20ft) safety wire in half, leaving two 3m (10ft) pieces.
d. Install anchors (or eye screws if necessary) into the building structure.
e. Loop one end of the safety wire through the anchor (or eye screw), then twist
it around itself at least five times (Figure 1). Repeat for second anchor. Repeat
for second eye screw.
f. Lift the TOPCAT up and lay it into the desired grid location (Figure 4).
CAUTION: make sure the TOPCAT is stable on the grid rails. If not stable
there could be a danger of it falling until safety wires are attached.
g. Pull one of the tabs up on the TOPCAT (located in opposite corners) and loop
the other end of the safety wire through the tab. Pull the wire through until it
is taut and twist it around itself at least five times to secure the TOPCAT. Cut
anchor or
off any excess wire if needed.
eye screw
h. Repeat with securing the second safety wire to the other tab. (see figure 5).
i. Locate the four (4) self-drilling sheet metal screws.
j. Utilizing existing holes on the vertical section of the ceiling rail (center of the
hole to the base of the rail must be a minimum of 15mm - see figure 5), drill
one screw per side on opposite sides of the TOPCAT (see figure 4).
NOTE: drilling these screws into the TOPCAT chassis will not cause harm to the
product.
j. Continue to step 4 in the manual, Installing and Wiring Electrical Power.
