Mounting Above a Suspended Ceiling Chapter 3 Mounting Instructions Mounting Above a Suspended Ceiling The access point mounting bracket is designed to be integrated into the T-bar grid above the tiles of a suspended ceiling. The access point uses a T-bar box hanger (not supplied) such as the Erico Caddy 512 or B-Line BA12 and should be oriented just above the top surface of a standard 5/8-in. (1.59 cm) ceiling tile. You may need to modify a thicker tile to allow room for the access point. Follow these steps to mount the access point above a suspended ceiling. Refer Figure 3-4 before proceeding.

Place the clip over the T-bar box hanger (refer to Figure 3-5) and secure it to the access point mounting bracket with the 1/4-20 fastener (supplied with the T-bar hanger). Figure 3-5 T-Bar and Mounting Bracket 85777 Note Figure 3-5 shows the access point mounting bracket mounted perpendicular to the T-bar box hanger. You can also mount the bracket parallel to the T-bar box hanger. Step 3 Remove a ceiling tile adjacent to the mounting location.
