Parts and Components
May include some or all of the following:
Compässo™ Elite
Suspension Trim System
Before beginning installation of the COMPÄSSO™ Elite Ceiling System, check the enclosed bill of materials to
ensure that all parts are present and undamaged. Read all installation instructions first and familiarize yourself
with the system’s components. This is extremely important because parts will become permanently damaged if
they are installed incorrectly! To help with identification, all parts are poly-bagged. This is to be used with the
IC464 General Installation Guide.
