18 Motorola Solutions AP-7131N-FGR Access Point Installation Guide
The mounting hardware required to install the access point above a ceiling consists of:
NOTE
CAUTION
• Light pipe
• Badge for light pipe
• Decal for badge
• Safety wire (strongly recommended)
• Security cable (optional)
To install the access point above a ceiling:
NOTE
1. If possible, remove the adjacent ceiling tile from its frame and place it aside.
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.
The AP-7131N-FGR is Plenum rated to UL2043 and NEC1999 to support
above the ceiling installations. To ensure UL compliance and proper
operation within the Air Handling Plenum, the access point must be
installed with the bottom surface of the unit in contact with the
un-finished surface of the ceiling tile. This will facilitate the positioning
of the light pipe (described in the following pages) through the ceiling
tile.
Motorola Solutions 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 Solutions 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.
