    Place the bracket under the plasterboard ceiling and fasten two turnbuckles firmly (as shown in Figure below, Step 1). Make the screws pass through the bracket and insert into the turnbuckles (as shown in Figure below, Step 2). Fasten them to offer more powerful supporting force.
  • Page 11: Suspended Ceiling (Lightweight Steel Frame) Installation

    You cannot screw into ceiling tiles as they are weak and not suitable for bearing loads. Your VigorAP is supplied with mounts (T-Rail brackets) which attach directly to the metal grid (‘T-Rail’) of your suspended ceiling. Choose one set of T-Rail mounting kits from the bundled package. Put the T-Rail brackets on the holes of the bottom side of the device.
  • Page 12 Attach the T-Rail brackets to the ceiling frame. Note Warning: The screw set shown below is for wall mounting only. Do not use such set for ceiling mounting due to the danger of falling.
  • Page 13: Wall-Mounted Installation

    For wall-mounting, the VigorAP has keyhole type mounting slots on the underside. You can fit the AP at any axis (i.e. 12, 3, 6 or 9 O’Clock) to allow for cable entry from the most convenient location if you are using side entry – note the position of the side entry cable cutout.
