2.7 Suspended Ceiling Tile (Plenum) Mount Instructions

An above the ceiling installation requires placing the Access Point above a suspended ceiling and installing the

provided light pipe under the ceiling tile for viewing the rear panel status LEDs of the unit. An above the ceiling

installation enables installations compliant with drop ceilings, suspended ceilings and industry standard tiles from

.625 to .75 inches thick.

The mounting hardware required to install the Access Point above a ceiling consists of:

• Light pipe

• Badge for light pipe

• Safety wire (strongly recommended)

• Security cable (optional)

NOTE

CAUTION

To install the Access Point above a ceiling:

NOTE

1. If possible, remove the ceiling tile from its frame and place it, finish side down, on a work surface.

2. If required, install a safety wire, between 1.5mm (.06in.) and 2.5mm (.10in.) in diameter, in the ceiling

space.

3. If required, install and attach a security cable to the Access Point's lock port.

4. Mark a point on the finished side of the tile where the light pipe is to be located.

5. Create a light pipe path hole in the target position on the ceiling tile.

Notes or warnings about suspended ceiling mounts apply to all

installations where the unit is placed on suspended ceiling tile.

Motorola does not recommend mounting the Access Point directly to

any suspended ceiling tile with a thickness less than 12.7mm (0.5in.)

or a suspended ceiling tile with an unsupported span greater than

660mm (26in.). Motorola strongly recommends fitting the Access

Point with a safety wire suitable for supporting the weight of the

device. The safety wire should be a standard ceiling suspension cable

or equivalent steel wire between 1.59mm (.062in.) and 2.5mm (.10in.)

in diameter.

Remove the Access Point's facade and antennas before installing in an

above the ceiling orientation. The Access Point is not certified for an

above the ceiling installation with its accessories installed.
