Ceiling Tile Removal

NOTE

Read all cautions and warnings before continuing.

NOTE

Observe the room and the ceiling; find the proper location for the PM-FCP placement and lightly mark the bottom of the tile.

Step 1. Carefully remove the 24" x 24" or, depending on your ceiling configuration, the 24" x 48" suspended ceiling tiles.

Ceiling Anchoring

WARNING

THE PM-FCP MUST SECURED USING THE SUPPLIED QUICK LOCKS AND BRAIDED CABLES.

Truss ceiling

Step 1. Loop the braided cable around the truss.

Step 2. Run the open end through the loop.

Step 3. Pull the open end down until the braided cable tightens around the truss.

Concrete

Step 1. Determine the mounting location.

Step 2. Use a 1/4" masonry drill bit to pre-drill the mounting holes.

Step 3. Place the concrete anchor into the pre-drilled hole and gently tap into place using a rubber mallet or hammer.

Wood Joist

Step 1. Secure the four (4) 14 " eye lag screws to the wood joist in the ceiling.

Step 2. Make sure eye lag screws are properly secured to the joist before securing the wire to the cable locks on the plate.

Step 3. Run the open end through the hole in the eye lag screw.

Step 4. Run the open end through the loop.

Step 5. Pull the open end down until the braided cable tightens around the eye lag screw.

Step 1. Attach the braided cable, using the directions on page 5, in the appropriate manner for your mounting configuration.

Step 2. Let the four (4) strands of braided cable hang down off to one side of the opening in the ceiling.

Step 1. Install the PM-FCP plate securely onto the T-bar framework with the mounting studs face down (according to your installation configuration).

In the event that you are using the PM-FCP in an opening that is 24" x 48", a 24" piece of T-bar (commercially available) must be used to support the mount and ceiling tile. The T-bar (commercially available) will run from side to side and help support the PM-FCP and 24" x 24" replacement ceiling tile (commercially available).

Attaching the Pipe Clamps

Step 1. Locate the pre-installed step bolts that are on the PM-FCP.

Step 2. Remove the four (4) black rubber caps from the step bolts.

Step 3. Lower the pipe clamp onto the step bolt.

Step 4. Secure the pipe clamp to the PM-FCP using a 1/4" KEP nut (see above).

Step 5. Tighten all hardware with a wrench (commercially available).

Step 6. Re-attach the four (4) black rubber caps onto the step bolts.

Step 7. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the remaining pipe clamp installation.

Attaching the EMT Conduit Pipe (Optional)

Step 1. For added security, slide two (2) 3/4" EMT conduit pipe (commercially available) through the pipe clamps.

Step 2. Once the EMT conduit pipe (commercially available) is installed, use a screwdriver to tighten the four (4) M8 x 20mm Phillips head screws and four (4) M8 nuts.

NOTE

The EMT conduit pipe must cross over two sections of the T-bar framework on both sides of the pipe clamps.

Quick Lock Installation

CAUTION Re-check all hardware and installation for proper tightness and security and replace the tile.

Feed braided cable into the cable lock (see directional input arrows). To release the braided cable, slide the release pin to disengage the braided cable.

Step 1. Once the braided cables have been attached to the upper mounting structure (wood joist, concrete or ceiling truss), it is now time to attach the braided cable to the PM-FCP.

Step 2. Thread each braided cable through the Quick Lock (see previous page).

Step 3. Loop the braided cables through the space between the EMT conduit pipe and the top of the pipe clamp (see previous page).

Step 4. When adjusting the tension of the weight-bearing side of the Quick Lock, the cable must be pulled through the Quick Lock until the desired tension is attained. Once attained, pull the braided cable through the other side of the Quick Lock (see previous page).

Step 5. Once the tension has been adjusted, be sure that there is at least 6" of excess braided cable on the non-weight bearing side of the Quick Lock.

Step 6. Use cable cutters to remove any remaining braided cable (optional).

If you chose to use the optional EMT conduit pipe, the ceiling tiles where the EMT conduit pipe crosses over must be installed prior to installing the EMT conduit pipe.

Step 7. Reinstall the ceiling tile.

Electrical Box Installation

NOTE

Electrical installation should be done in accordance to local codes and regulations.

Step 1. Cut the tile where the electrical base box is going to be secured.

Step 2. Using (commercially available) hardware depending on electrical installation environment, install the electrical box and secure it to the plate.

Step 3. Make all electrical connections at this time.

PM-FCP Adjustments

Step 1. Loosen the M8 x 20mm screws and M8 flat washers. This will allow you to slide the base box laterally.

NOTE

Please refer to the purchased base box for further operating instructions.

Securing Pipe to the PM-FCP

Step 1. Secure the 1 12 (NPT) pipe to the ceiling plate and tighten by using one (1) M5 x 16 Phillips head screw (supplied) to the plate.

CAUTION

The M5 x 16 Phillip head screw must be used to stabilize the 1 12 (NPT) pipe.
