Chapter 4 The HiveAP 340 Platform
66 Aerohive
Suspended Mount
You can suspend the HiveAP 340 from a horizontal beam, post, strut, or girder. As well as the mounting plate, you
need a quad-toggle, a 1.5 mm (0.059 inch) wire rope with hook, and a locking device. ERICO
®
supplies these items
in its CADDY
®
SPEED LINK product line. The part number for the quad-toggle is SLD15QT250 and that for the set that
includes the wire rope, hook, and locking device is SLD15L2T. These items are available through various suppliers.
1. With the recessed side of the mounting plate facing downward, insert the four ends of the quad-toggle through
holes in the mounting plate.
2. Turn the HiveAP 340 face down and attach it to the mounting plate (see Figure 15).

3. Draw the wire rope over a support beam, fasten the hook around the wire, and pull the wire until the hook is
snug against the underside of the beam.
4. Push the plain end of the wire rope—the end without the hook—through the side hole in the locking device in
the direction indicated by the arrow on its side, and then pass it through the loop at the end of the quad-toggle.
5. Insert the wire rope back through the center hole in the locking device, and then continue pulling it through the
locking device until the HiveAP 340 is suspended at the height you want (see Figure 16 on page 67).
The center tube that runs through the locking device is designed to allow you to pull the rope wire up through it
while preventing the rope from slipping back down. If you ever pull too much rope through and need to pull it
back down, use a tool such as a screw driver to press against the inner tube in the locking device to release the
rope. Then you can pull it back out (see "Height Correction" on page 67).

To secure each of the four strands to the mounting plate:
1. Insert the metal cleat at the end of a strand through a hole
in the plate.
2. Sliding the oblong washer along the strand, pass it through
the hole.
3. Pull the strand upward to lock the cleat and washer against
the underside of the plate.
To attach the HiveAP 340 to the mounting plate:
1. Align the tabs on the plate with the wider,
circular section of the keyhole shaped slots
on the underside of the device, which is
face down as shown.
2. Push the tabs into the slots and slide the
HiveAP 340 toward its port panel. This
repositions the tabs in the narrower,
rectangular section of the slots and holds
the device firmly in place below the
mounting plate.
