WARNING!

The Altitude 300-2is not secured to the bracket unless a padlock is used. If a padlock is not used the unit should be secured to the bracket by a cable tie through the lock hasp to keep it from falling. Failure to secure the unit is hazardous.

Mounting Above The Hanging Ceiling

The Altitude 300-2dis compliant with UL 2043 for installation in the plenum area above a hanging ceiling. The installer needs to make sure that the Ethernet cable used to connect to the unit is also plenum rated, see the National Electric Code, NEC, Section 300-22(C). Equipment above the hanging ceiling should be secured to the T-Bars using a box hanger (not supplied). The universal mounting bracket has been designed to work with box hangers such as those from B-Line or Caddy, see Figure 11: Above the Ceiling Box Hanger Mount on page 32.

Examples of these T-Bar box hangers products are:

B-Line model: BA50A, www.cooperbline.com

Caddy model: 512-BU, www.erico.com

External antennas are recommended for installations above the ceiling. Locate where the external antenna will be located and their orientation. Select a site above the ceiling for the Altitude 300-2d. This should be within reach of the external antenna’s cables. Install the box hanger following the manufacturer's instructions. If the box hanger comes with a box the universal bracket can be installed onto the box or the box can be taken off and the bracket can be installed directly onto the box hanger bar using the fastener provided by the manufacturer. Make sure all the fasteners are tight before mounting the Altitude 300-2on the bracket. The Altitude 300-2should be secured to the bracket using either a padlock or a cable tie.
