• Note that the device is build with fire retardant FR3020 material and can be installed in the plenum. In an office
building, plenum is the space between the structural ceiling and the tile ceiling that is provided to help air circulate.
Many companies also use the plenum to house communication equipment and cables. These products and cables must
comply with certain safety requirements, such as Underwriter Labs (UL) and Standard 2043: “Standards for Fire Test for
Heat and Visible Smoke Release for Direct Products and Their Accessories installed in Air-Handling Spaces”.
• When installed in a plenum, the device must use PoE.
Conduct a site survey to determine the best location for the device. You can either mount the device to a wall or mount it to
the T-bar ceiling, as follows:
Wall-Mounting:
To mount the device to a wall:
1. Place the mounting plate on the wall such that the embossed letter ‘L’ is at the top-center position and the vent-holes
are facing your left hand side.

2. Fasten the mounting plate by using a pair of plastic anchors and screws provided with the product package.
3. Hold the device in the upright position (with ‘Reload’ on top and the ‘LEDs’ at the bottom), such that the vent-holes
on the device and the vent-holes on the mounting plate rest on each other.
4. Align the two keyholes on the device with the two holders on the mounting plate.
5. Carefully, slide the device towards your right hand side, until the holders on the mounting plate fasten securely onto
the keyholes of the device.
