Installation — Stage One, cont’d

4.Cut the ceiling tile

a.Mark the location of the PCM 340 on the T-frame. This aids putting it back in the correct location when the tile is replaced.

T Mark the screen direction on back of the tile (e.g. with an arrow or “to front”) to help orientation of tile when replacing it after cutting.

b.Measure the distances X and Y (see figure) from the inner vertical section of the front and left T-frame runners to the center of the Pipe Adapter Plate.

c.Using the X and Y dimensions, mark and cut a hole for the slotted pipe in the ceiling tile.

TPlace the tile on a box and mark the hole’s center on the underside of the tile. Use a hole saw bit to start to cut the hole by hand (turning bit counter clockwise) to avoid damaging the tile. When the drill bit is through the tile, turn the tile over and finish cutting from the top side.
