Hardware Installation
1. Remove the ceiling tile.
2. Remove the backing from the Mounting Template and place
it in the center of the ceiling tile.
242 mm
3. Cut or drill a hole around the template.
4. Rotate the UniFiAP counterclockwise to release it from the
Speaker Assembly.

5. Feed an Ethernet cable through the hole and connect it to
the Main port of the Speaker Assembly.
6. If necessary, lift and rotate the Clamp Brackets so they
remain elevated and tucked against the Speaker Assembly.
Insert the Speaker Assembly into the hole.

7. We strongly recommend that you attach the Safety Wire
(length: 430 mm) to a secure structural point using its clasp
(inside diameter: 14 mm). Do NOT attach the Safety Wire to
a T-bar in the ceiling grid.
Note: It is the installer’s responsibility to verify that
installation complies with local construction and
safety codes.
Two examples are shown below.

8. Tighten the four screws attached to the Clamp Brackets to
secure the Speaker Assembly to the ceiling tile.
9. To connect the cables:
a. Feed the cables of the Speaker Assembly through its
cable slot and the Cable Feed Opening of the UniFi AP.
b. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Main port, and
connect the USB cable to the USB port.

10. Insert the UniFi AP into the Speaker Assembly. Then align
the notch on the top edge of the UniFi AP with the notch
on the Speaker Assembly.
11. Ensure that the UniFi AP is firmly seated on the Speaker
Assembly. Turn the UniFi AP clockwise until it locks
intoplace.
12. Set the ceiling tile back into place.
