Install Base Stations
Be sure the Base Station is positioned clear of anything that might
damage it. The Base Station should be well above head height, away
from doors and other objects that might strike it, and away from areas
open to the elements or possible water leaks.
Check your location for other radio antenna devices and place the
Base Stations to avoid interference. Leave enough slack wire
(approximately 25 feet) to account for possible future Base Station
moves.
Mount Base Stations on dropped tile ceilings
A ceiling clip and plastic bolt are supplied to install Base Stations on
the drop ceiling rails (T-bars) used to support acoustical tile. The
plastic bolt screws into the top of the Base Station, then snaps into the
ceiling clip which has been attached to the rails that hold the
acoustical tile. The fastener is designed for use on 15/16” wide rails.
1. Attach the metal fastener to the rail (T-bar) supporting the
dropped ceiling by rotating it into position until it snaps into the
locked position.
2. Screw the plastic bolt to the 1/4” x 20 captive nut into the top of
the Base Station.
3. Slide the bolt into the exposed prongs of the metal clip until it
snaps into position.
4. When properly attached, the Base Station should sit almost flush
against the ceiling, and be tightly attached to the clip and T-bar
grid work.
