Mounting the IntelliVue Smart-hopping Core AP Below a Ceiling Tile (Quick
Release)
You can mount the IntelliVue Smart-hopping Access Point below a ceiling tile by
using an optional quick release wall plate along with the mounting rails provided in
the Above & Below Ceiling Tile Mount Kit for the Core AP and Remote Antennas
(862415-K05). Use of this wall plate enables you to relocate 1.4 GHz IntelliVue
Smart-hopping Core APs within your facility quickly and easily.
Caution
When installing the IntelliVue Access Point onto a suspended ceiling, make certain
the ceiling grid is structurally rated to support the weight of the Access Point, 0.7kg
(1.5 lbs), and any extra cabling.
To mount the 1.4 GHz IntelliVue Smart-hopping Core AP below a ceiling tile:
1. Determine which ceiling tile the Core AP is be mounted onto, and the
approximate placement of the Core AP and orientation of the antennas hanging
down from the ceiling tile.
2. Remove the ceiling tile to which the Core AP will be mounted (and also the
adjacent tile to facilitate installation).
3. Refer to Figure 2-13 for all dimensions and hole locations. Place the mounting
rails across the tile (underside of tile). For ceiling tiles that are smaller than
standard 2’ x 4’ size ceiling tile, the mounting rails can be cut down in length at
the u-shaped cutouts.
4. Mark the location of the AB screw holes in the mounting rails on the ceiling tile
where the holes will be drilled through the tile as shown in Figure 2-14. Drill four
.375-inch (10 mm) diameter holes in the ceiling tile.
5. Determine where the two holes for the Remote Antenna cabling are going to be
located on the tile and mark the centers of the hole.
Note that one of these holes will also be used to route the CAT 5 cable that
connects the Core AP to the Sync Unit on the IntelliVue Smart-hopping
infrastructure.
6. Drill or cut out two .813-inch (21 mm) diameter holes for the Remote Antenna
cables to be connected to the Core AP. Lightly coat a plastic grommet with
silicone adhesive and insert it into each hole in the tile (insert grommet from the
outside of the tile).
7. Place the AP wall plate over the four holes drilled on the bottom of the tile. Note:
The top of the tile is the side facing up when the tile is in its installed position.
8. Insert the four (4) M3 .5 x 0.6 x 30mm screws into the AP wall plate, through the
tile, and into the mating holes in the mounting rails on top of the tile. Hand
tighten the four locking hex nuts onto the screws, and then torque-tighten each
nut to 10-inch lbs (#1 Pozidrive).
9. Using a 5/64-inch (2 mm) Allen (i.e., hexagonal) wrench, secure the four
supplied M3 X 0.5 hex-head shoulder screws to the back of the Core AP as
shown in Figure 2-15. Torque-tighten each shoulder screw to 8-inch lbs.
