(OPTIONAL) MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

Mounting to a Flat Surface

The ZoneFlex 7982 can be mounted to a wall, ceiling or to a
T-bar using the enclosed mounting kit.

1

Use the Mounting Template on the reverse side of this
Quick Setup Guide (or the included alignment spacer) as
a template to mark the locations for drill holes on the
mounting surface. There are two sets of keyholes available on the AP. One allows the AP to be mounted to a
wall or ceiling. The other allows the ZoneFlex 7982 to be
mounted to an accessory bracket (not included).

2

Use a 5mm drill bit to drill holes approximately 25mm
into the mounting surface.

3

Insert the anchors and mounting screws into the mounting surface, leaving approximately 1/4” (6 mm) of the
screw heads protruding for the AP enclosure.

Fit the screws protruding from the T-Bar clips through the
holes in the alignment spacer, and then thread the
included anchor sleeves onto the screws. For recessed
frame drop ceiling, adjust the height of the anchor
sleeves such that the anchor heads extend just below the
ceiling tile surface. Anchor sleeves can be adjusted to
accommodate frame recess depths up to 6mm.

4

Insert a straightened paperclip (or similar) into the hole
on the side of the AP to release the locking mechanism.

5

Place the AP onto the mounting screws so that the screw
heads enter the mounting holes on the AP enclosure,
and push the AP down to lock in place.

6

Remove the paperclip to release the locking mechanism
and secure the AP.

3

Insert a straightened paperclip (or similar) into the pinhole on the side of the AP and hold in place while
mounting (see Figure 1.).

7

4

Place the AP over the anchor sleeves such that the heads
enter the mounting holes on the AP enclosure, and slide
the AP to lock in place.

To remove the AP, insert a straightened paperclip into
the hole on the side of the AP to unlock, then push the
AP up to release the AP enclosure from the mounting
screws.

Mounting to Acoustical Drop-Ceiling T-Bar
The enclosed T-bar clips support mounting to flush tile and
recessed frame drop ceiling T-bars.
1

Fasten T-Bar clips (included) to the T-Bar.

Note: if the T-bar clips slide easily along the T-bar, use a
piece of Scotch tape or similar to secure them in place
while mounting the AP. The tape may be removed once
the AP is mounted.

5

Remove the paperclip to release the lock mechanism
and secure the AP.

6

To remove the AP, insert a straightened paperclip into
the hole on the side of the AP to unlock, and then slide
the AP to release the AP enclosure from the mounting
screws.
