Installing AP320i
Mount AP320i Below a Recessed Ceiling
The optional recessed ceiling mounting kit allows the AP320i mounting bracket (which is attached to
the AP when it is shipped) to be attached to a recessed ceiling rail by extending the distance from the
rail to the AP. This kit can be adjusted to fit either a wide or thin rail size.

To mount AP320i below a recessed ceiling, follow these steps:
1. Determine the width of the ceiling rail to be used. This will tell you whether you need to adjust
the extender bracket. If the ceiling rail is wider (23.8mm), you do not have to adjust anything;
continue to step 3.
2. For a narrow ceiling rail (22.2mm), adjust the bracket. Remove the two screws shown in Figure 20
and flip one side over. This will result in a narrower channel. Tighten the screws.
3. Attach the bracket to the AP by rotating it into place as shown in Figure 21.
Note:
The recessed ceiling mounting kit is part number ACC-MNT-SCRMKIT-02 prior
to AP revision N. As of revision N, however, the AP ships with a slightly
different mounting bracket and utilizes ACC-MNT-SCRMKIT-03 for recessed
mounting. Be sure to order the correct part number as associated with your
AP revision. Refer to Figure 20 for examples.
