Step 2 – Place the ceiling enclosure assembly on the
work surface. Remove one of the 1” trade size hole
cover on the side of the enclosure and install the 1”
conduit nipple (the side on which the conduit nipple is
to be installed will be determined by the location the
enclosure is to be installed and direction from which
conduit will be brought into the enclosure – ref. Figure

safety standards.

Step 3 –Lay ceiling tile over the
enclosure assembly such that
the previously cut opening in the
ceiling tile is equally spaced
around the outside of the
enclosure (ref. Figure 3). Place
the ceiling tile bridges along
each side of the enclosure and
attach using a #8-32 screw.
Prior to tightening, be sure to
properly align the tile bridges so
the ends of the tile bridges align
with the outside edge of the
ceiling tile. Once the tile bridges
are properly aligned, press the
shoulder of the tile bridge down
firmly against the tile and then
securely tighten the screws.
This is to assure that there is
minimal gap between the
enclosure’s flange and the
ceiling tile once it is placed in
the ceiling. The four (4) holes on
the tile bridge will be used to
secure the enclosure with grid
wires.

Step 4 – Install the
mounting plate onto the
mounting bracket using
the (4) # 4-40 screws. The
tabs of the mounting plate
should be facing up
toward the cutout on the
bracket. Slide the access
point onto the mounting
plate, locking the tabs to
the underside of the
access point The door

assembly is completed by
attaching the previously
assembled mounting
plate/access point assembly
to the enclosure door by
securing it in place with four
(4) #8-32 hex nuts. Place the
slotted holes in the mounting
plate/access point assembly
over the studs located on the bottom side of the door (NOTE: the mounting plate can only be attached to the door in one direction. If the
slotted holes don’t match up with the studs in the door, rotate the mounting plate 180°). Once the mounting plate is positioned, secure it in
place by installing four (4) #8-32 hex nuts (Figure 5).

Step 5 – Remove the ceiling tile
from the location where the
access point enclosure is to be
placed (if necessary) and
replace with the assembled unit
(ref. Figure 6). Use a minimum
of two separate grid wires to
attach the access point
enclosure to the ceiling. Attach
one end of the wire to the
eyebolts and the other end to a
permanent structure within the
ceiling such as a ceiling joist.

Installation Instructions

**** WARNING ****

**IMPORTANT** - This is

an important safety feature
that could prevent human
injury or damage to the
access point should the unit
become dislodged from the
ceiling grid work.

Figure 6 - Ceiling installation.

Step 6 – Once the assembly has been installed in the ceiling and secured using grid wire, open the door and run the Ethernet
cable into the enclosure through the conduit nipple located on the side of the access point enclosure and attach to the access
point prior to installing on mounting plate.

Insert foam into the conduit connector and pull the data cable through far enough to allow attachment to the access point (8" -

10"). Tighten cable clamp around foam fire block so that there are no air gaps. Be careful not to over tighten and crush the

Ethernet cable(s).
