Cut tie wire (
G
) into four pieces of equal length. Insert wires through the ends of the turnbuckles and loop to prevent
the wire from slipping. Twist each wire around itself at least six times as tightly as possible.
Drill holes for four ceiling anchors (see “Various Anchoring Methods”). Position the holes so when the tie wires are
attached and taut the optimal angle is 15° (see figure 3.1 for reference). Unit may be mounted at an angle up to 45°
if necessary.
Pull tie wires tight and loop through turnbuckles of the ceiling anchors (or truss). Again twist each wire around itself
at least six times as tightly as possible.
When this step is complete, the weight of the ceiling tray should be supported by the tie wires.
NOTE:
20' (6.1 m) of tie wire (
G
) is provided. If space between the true ceiling and suspended ceiling is more than 36"
(914 mm), additional wire (12 gauge annealed, steel, black) will be needed.
VARIOUS ANCHORING METHODS
Wood Joists or Beams
Drill 5/32" (4 mm) dia.
holes 2" (51 mm) deep.
Fully insert eye bolts (
K
).
Solid Concrete
Drill 1/4" (6 mm) dia. holes 1.5" (38 mm) deep.
Hammer in Concrete Anchor (
L
) using Rawl
#3250 setting tool or equivalent.

Truss Ceiling
No anchor required. After
attaching tie wire to turnbuckle
loop upper end around ceiling
truss. Pull tie wire tight and
twist it around itself at least six
times as tightly as possible..

Suspended Ceiling Kit installation is now complete.
After all components (Projector Mount, Extension
Column, etc.) and equipment have been attached,
tension the tie wires by adjusting turnbuckles (
F
).
Load must be carried by tie wires - not
suspended ceiling runners
.
• Installer must verify that the ceiling will safely
support four times the combined weight of all
attached equipment and hardware.
• Never attach hooks to filler tray.
