Chapter 2 Installing the Access Point
Mounting Above a Suspended Ceiling
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 2-9 before
proceeding.
Figure 2-9 T-Bar Grid Mounting Bracket Parts
Step 1 Insert the bracket mounting clip’s tab into the large hole on the access point mounting bracket.
Step 2 Place the clip over the T-bar box hanger (refer to Figure 2-10) and secure it to the access point mounting
bracket with the 1/4-20 fastener (supplied with the T-bar hanger).
Figure 2-10 T-Bar and Mounting Bracket
Note Figure 2-10 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.
