The vertical lip of the ceiling rail system must be nearly even with the outside of the Wall
Panels.
1. Before the Bolts are tightened, make sure the alignment of the outside surface of the Wall Panel and
the vertical lip is correct. This will cause a space behind the formed channel on the module’s interior.
2. All rails, corners and spacer joints must fit together perfectly. If they do not, the frame will not be
square and will need readjusting. The most important factor is that no gaps be allowed between any
or all ceiling rail pieces.
3. Use the Wenger Panel Adjustment Tool (215_945) if available to assist positioning the Wall Panels.
4. Tighten all bolts.

The ceiling panels are installed from inside the module. Each ceiling panel rests on the straight edge of
the ceiling rail above the formed channel and has a channel section attached at each end. The two end
panels also have a channel along one side.
Install the end panels first. Each ceiling end panel has roto lock connections on only one side. This is the
side that will connect to the other ceiling panels. The end panels have only one male roto lock and one
female roto lock.
Note: Before the ceiling end panels are installed it is necessary to switch a pair of roto locks between
end panels. One of the panels must have two male roto locks and the other panel must have
two female roto locks. Use a Phillips screwdriver to make these changes. Then install ceiling end
panels so the one with female roto locks will be matched with male roto locks on the next ceiling
panel.
To install ceiling panels:
1. Lift one end over the wall and slide the channel on the bottom of the other end into the straight edge
of the ceiling rail as far as it will go. BE CAREFUL not to hit the electrical connector when installing
ceiling panels.
2. Lower the other end of the panel into place, then center the ceiling panel so that both channels
extend evenly over the ceiling rails edge.
3. Push both end panels as far to the outside of the end wall as they will go.

align ceiling panels
All ceiling sections are now in place but not locked together. Before roto locks are engaged, align the
panels squarely on the module. Use the wall panel edges as guides and align ceiling panels with the wall
panels. Then be sure each panel is properly centered on the edge of the ceiling rail. Allow equal overlap
for the ceiling channel at each side wall and at the ceiling end channel in relation to the end wall.
1. Install the remaining ceiling panels in the same manner, following the plan view drawing.
2. Place the HVAC ceiling panels, if required, into the appropriate position.
3. Place lights in the appropriate position.

ceiling clips
The ceiling clips are inserted from the corners of the
module where a space is in the ceiling frame rail.
The short leg of the clip is inserted into the channel
of the ceiling panel while the long leg slides into the
formed channel of the ceiling frame rail. Clips are
then slid in the rail to proper position. Place one clip
in the center of each ceiling panel end. On the long
side of the ceiling panel, place clips every 15-inches
to match pattern of clips on ends of ceiling panels.
At all four corners, place one clip in each direction,
but within the first 7 1/2-inches of corner for proper
seal. Do not place a clip on the ceiling rail splices.
clip retainers
When ceiling clips are in place, insert the clip
retainers. Lay the retainers on the ceiling rail
channel directly in front of each clip. Press the
retainer straight down into the bottom of the rail.
Insert one retainer for each clip using an adjustable
jaw pliers or Wenger clip retainer tool.
