Installation To Wood Joist - PEERLESS Paramount PC930A Manual Del Usuario

Installation to Wood Joist Ceilings
• Installer must verify that the supporting surface will safely support the combined load of the equipment and all attached
hardware and components.
• Tighten wood screws so that ceiling plate is firmly attached, but do not overtighten. Overtightening can damage the
screws, greatly reducing their holding power.
• Never tighten in excess of 80 in. • lb (9 N.M.).
• Make sure that mounting screws are anchored into the center of the stud or joist. The use of an "edge to edge" stud
finder is highly recommended.
• Hardware provided is for attachment of mount through standard thickness drywall or plaster into wood studs or joists.
Installers are responsible to provide hardware for other types of mounting situations (not UL approved).
2 Use a stud finder to locate the edges of the joist. Use of an edge-to-edge stud finder is highly recommended. Based
on its edges, draw a vertical line down the joist's center. Place ceiling plate (A) on ceiling as a template, making sure
that the two mounting slots are on the stud centerline.
Note: Opening on outer channel (B) indicates front of mount. Use the correct mounting slots on the ceiling plate
depending on ceiling joist orientation as shown in figure 2.1 or figure 2.2. Mounting slots on ceiling plate allow for
45° (±22.5) of swivel adjustment before securing to joist.
Mark the center of the two mounting holes depending on joist orientation as shown in figure 1.1 or figure 1.2. Drill two
5/32" (4 mm) dia. holes 2-1/2" (65 mm) deep. Secure ceiling plate (A) to wood joist using two #14 x 2-1/2" wood
screws (H) as shown.
