Anchoring Ceiling Plate

4

 

Cut tie wire (G) into four pieces of equal length. Insert wires through ends of turnbuckles and loop. Twist each wire

 

around itself at least six times.

 

 

 

Drill holes for four ceiling anchors (see "Various Anchoring Methods"). Position the holes so that when the tie

 

 

wires (G) are attached and taut will angle out at 15O.

 

 

Pull tie wires tight and loop though turnbuckles of the ceiling anchors (or truss). Again twist each wire around itself

 

 

at least six times.

 

 

 

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.

WARNING

It is the responsibility of the installer to verify that the ceiling to which the suspended ceiling kit is anchored will safely support four times the combined weight of all attached components (Projector Mount, Extension Column, etc.) and equipment.

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).
