The A70 Mounting Kit Installation Notes

These Installation Notes provide instructions for using the A70
mounting kit.

The AP70-MNT can be used to attach an A70 Wireless
Access/Grid Point (AP) to a shelf, wall, post, ceiling, or partition
hanger. The included mounting cradle holds the AP firmly in place
when installed, and also allows for quick release when
maintenance is required.

Mounting the AP Cradle

The mounting kit can be used to install the A70:

z On a solid wall, shelf, or ceiling surface (see page 3)
z Suspended from a tile ceiling (see page 4)
z On a vertical post (see page 5)
z From an office partition hanger (see page 6)

The following procedures describe mounting the AP cradle. The AP is then
inserted into the cradle as shown on page 7.

Solid Surface Mount

The mounting kit can be used to attach the AP to a solid, flat, indoor surface
such as a wall, shelf, and ceilings. (The holes used for surface mounting can
also be used to attach to any standard electrical gang box.)

CAUTION—For suspended ceilings, use only T-rail clips as described on

page 4.

AP70-MNT: Installation Notes

Orient the cradle with its flat side against the mounting surface. If attaching the
cradle to a wall, orient it with the notched end at the top.

Secure the cradle to the solid surface using four #6 screws (not included) or
equivalent.

Suspended Ceiling Mount

1 Attach the T-rail clips to the ceiling rail.

FIGURE 3 Attaching the T-Rail Clips

The T-rail clips twist onto the ceiling rails used with standard suspended-ceiling
systems. Use either the 15/16-inch or 9/16-inch clips, as appropriate for your
ceiling. Place the T-rail clips approximately 5.5 cm (2-1/8 inches) apart at the
location where the AP will be installed. Use the mounting cradle to gauge the
appropriate separation.
