Install the Access Point on a Silhouette Ceiling

Before you begin

You need the following items:

One AP5020 access point
One AH-ACC-BKT-AX-SL bracket

About this task

You can mount the access point to a ceiling grid with 1/8 in. or 1/4 in. bottom opening.

Silhouette is an Armstrong Ceiling Solutions name.

Procedure

Remove the ceiling tiles.
Place the bracket on the ceiling rail in such a way that the accessory metal hinges are almost perpendicular to the sides of the ceiling rail with the ceiling rail over the center hole.

Lightly push onto to the ceiling rail and rotate the accessory clockwise until the hinges hook over the edge of the rail and the white tabs click in place.

Note

There are two white tabs in the back of the bracket that holds on to the ceiling rail. Use your finger to pull and unhook one side of the white tab if you want to remove the accessory from the ceiling rail.

Gently rotate the bracket counterclockwise and if there is resistance, the other white tab in the back of the accessory must also be released.
