Connecting to Ceiling
These CPA mounts are designed for attachment to a double 2"
x 4" wood framework ceiling, a concrete ceiling or a suspended
metal framing channel ceiling.
WARNING:
Do NOT attach to vertical mounting surfaces
such as walls or angled ceilings!
WARNING:
IMPROPER INSTALLATION CAN LEAD TO
LIFT FALLING CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR
DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT! It is the installer's responsibility
to make certain the structure to which the mount is being
attached is capable of supporting five times the weight of the
CPA mount and all attached equipment. Reinforce the
structure as required before installing the mount.
NOTE:
The following instructions assume a suitable mounting
structure and surface exists prior to installation.
Installing to a Wood Framework (Joists)
IMPORTANT ! :
The CPA116 is designed to be mounted to
double 2" x 4" wood stud cross bracing (5" on center) between
two ceiling joists with a maximum drywall covering of 5/8".
1.
Using ceiling plate (A) as a template, mark locations of four
pilot holes (See Figure 3). Ensure the marks are in the
center of wood joists.
