i. Tighten the turnbuckles by hand (see figure 7), and
T-frame
level the plate so that it just rests on the grid.
C The four hanging wires should be taut,
taking the full weight of the completed
installation.
Adjust the turnbuckles to take
up any slack in the hanging wire.
C Overtightening the turnbuckles could cause
the T-bar assembly to be lifted, making the
suspended ceiling bowed and unsafe.
Figure 7 — Adjust turnbuckles
j. Tighten the four T-frame securing screws on the PCM.
Attach washer and nut and
insert threaded rods
through holes on the
ends of the
Threaded rod installation
For this method, threaded rods (not supplied) are used instead
of wire to secure the plate to the ceiling:
mounting plate.
a. Insert the rods through the holes at the ends of the plate.
b. Secure the rods with washers and nuts. The rods take the
full weight of the completed installation.
c. Adjust the length to keep the plate level.
Attach washer and nut and secure.
6. Final installation.
Figure 8 — Threaded rod installation
a. Install the projector assembly and lock it into place.
b. Tuck the signal cables into the slotted pipe and firmly snap
