the side of the R500 (B in Figure 4
) to release the locking
mechanism.

2 Position the studs on the bottom of the T-bar bracket (C
in Figure 4
) in the mounting holes on the R500 enclosure,
and then slide the T-bar bracket until the studs are in the
narrow parts of the R500 mounting keyholes (arrow).
3 Remove the unit removal pin (A in Figure 4
) to engage
the locking mechanism and secure the T-bar bracket to
the R500.
4 Make sure that the locking tab (D in Figure 4
) is in the
first position on the T-bar bracket (C in Figure 4
).
5 Gently push the ceiling tiles up and out of the way.
6 Position the T-bar bracket so its two clasps grip one edge
of the T-bar (A in Figure 5
). Make sure that both clasps
are gripping the T-bar.

2 Gently lift up the locking tab (A in Figure 6) by sliding
your fingers under the tab.
3 While lifting up on the locking tab, rotate the R500-
and-T-bar bracket assembly (B in
Figure 6). The R500-
and-T-bar bracket assembly comes away from the T-
bar.

Orient the AP so that the T-bar is positioned between
the T-bar clips as shown in Figure 8, then rotate the AP
until the third T-bar clip catches the T-bar and the
latch locks the T-bar in place (
Figure 9).

Removing an AP Integrated Bracket from a T-Bar
1
To remove the AP from a T-bar, first remove the
security screw, then depress the latch while rotating
the AP so that the T-bar clips disengage the T-bar.
Note: This mounting bracket can also be used on a flush
drop-ceiling T-bar, so the four rubber feet on the bottom
of the AP minimize ceiling tile displacement.
