Mounting the BIM1000 Mounting Bracket to a hard ceiling
To mount the Business Intelligence Module (BIM1000) to a hard ceiling complete the following steps:
1. Locate the BIM1000 Mounting Bracket, 0404-1247-01 and the BIM1000 Installation Kit, 0352-0766-01.
2. If possible, mount the BIM Mounting Bracket into a known structural member using appropriate hardware.
Alternately, use the supplied toggle bolt, 2880-0070-01, to anchor the BIM1000 Mounting Bracket.
3. Use the BIM Mounting Bracket, 0404-1247-01, as a template and with a pencil, mark the mounting holes,
and the Power cable entry hole.
a. If required, mark the entry locations for the RS485 or the Ethernet patch cables.
4. Use a drill with a 1/2 inch (12.5 millimeter) drill-bit, and drill the mounting hole in the ceiling.
5. Use a drill with a 1/2 inch (12.5 millimeter) drill-bit, and drill a hole for the power cable. If required, also drill
a hole or holes for the RS485 or the Ethernet Patch cables.
6. From the BIM1000 Installation Kit, 0352-0766-01, locate the 6-inch toggle bolt, 2880-0070-01.
7. Adjust the toggle bolt to ensure it can expand once you place it through the ceiling, and ensure a minimum
of a 1/2 inch (12.5 millimeters) of the toggle bolt remains exposed below the ceiling.
8. Thread the BIM1000 Mounting Bracket, 0404-1247-01, onto the toggle bolt, 2880-0070-01, and insert it
through the ceiling.
9. Pulling down slightly on the bracket assembly, spin the BIM1000 Mounting Bracket to tighten it.
Note: If you have access to the area above the ceiling, you can tighten the toggle bolt, 2880-0070-01, from
this location.
10. Place an additional screw on the BIM1000 Mounting Bracket, 0404-1247-01, to prevent the bracket from
spinning or loosening when mounted. Alternately, place the flange nut, 2838-0015-01, from the BIM1000
Installation Kit, 0352-0766-01, above the toggle bolt to secure the bracket in place.
11. Complete the following steps to route the cables through the BIM1000 Mounting Bracket, 0404-1247-01:
a. If required, locate the RS-485 cable, feed it through the RS485 cable opening on the BIM Mounting
Bracket, 0404-1247-01, and then secure the RS485 cable in the provided strain relief notch. For the
location of the strain relief notch on the BIM1000, see Figure 5.
b. Locate the Ethernet cable and feed it through the Ethernet cable opening on the BIM Mounting Bracket,
0404-1247-01, and then secure the Ethernet cable in the provided strain relief notch.
c. Locate the power cable, feed the three-pin connector end of the cable through the Power cable opening
on the BIM Mounting Bracket, 0404-1247-01, and then secure the cable in the provided strain relief
notch.
Mounting the BIM1000 Mounting Bracket to a T-bar of a suspended ceiling support
To attach the BIM Mounting Bracket, 0404-1247-01, to a T-bar of a suspended ceiling support, complete the
following steps:
1. Use a hand drill with a xx drill-bit, and drill a hole in the center of the plywood.
2. From the BIM1000 Installation Kit, 0352-0766-01, locate the 6-inch toggle bolt, 2880-0070-01.
3. Insert the toggle bolt, 2880-0070-01, through the plywood, and tighten the two flanged nuts,
2838-0015-01, to secure it to the BIM Mounting Bracket, 0404-1247-01.
4. Sit the plywood across the grid support in the ceiling.
5. From the BIM1000 Installation Kit, 0352-0766-01, locate the two T-bar clips, 1400-0033-01, and clip onto
the ceiling grid support to secure in place.
6. Complete the following steps to route the cables through the BIM1000 Mounting Bracket, 0404-1247-01:
