MOUNTING THE AP340
Suspended Mount
You can suspend the AP340 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 SLD15L2S. 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 AP340 face down and attach it to the mounting plate (see Figure 11).

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 end of the wire rope 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 pull it through the locking
device until the AP340 is suspended at the height you want (see Figure 12 on page 60).
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 pull too much rope through and
need to pull it back down, use a tool such as a screwdriver to press against the inner tube in the locking
device to release the rope. Then you can pull it back out (see "Height Correction").
