2. Attach the included Mounting Hole Drilling Template to the ceiling joist at the BPS-1 mounting location (see Figure 3). Make sure that the template is placed high enough so the BPS-1 cabinet will not contact the ceiling material after installation. (Contact can cause buzzing during operation.)

3. Drill eight 5/16" holes through the joist at the locations indicated on the Drilling Template (see Figure 3).

4. Screw the two Temporary Installation Brackets across the underside of the joist bay at the locations indicated on the Drilling Template (see Figure 4). The Temporary Brackets have two sets of pre-drilled holes: One for 24” center-to-center joist spacing, and another for 16” center-to-center joist spacing.
