Installation & Operation
AORCS
Interior Grid Member Installation
Setup string lines to aid in the installation of the main runners and cross tees. This will serve to keep the ceiling system square during installa-
tion. Determine which walls will be the starting point for the string lines.
• For wall to wall installations this will also give the ceiling border blank-off panels their permanent size. Note that due to MEP and
equipment layout, the border tiles may not always be the same in size on each side of the room.
Start the ceiling main tee and cross tee installation while keeping a laser or leveling system in place for proper bending of the ceiling wires. This
will keep the ceiling close to staying level while you erect the ceiling system. Final leveling of ceiling should be completed prior to installation of
blank-off panels, lights, and diffusers.
Install the first main tee. Secure main tee to perimeter tees using the quick snap connectors provided. Once installed, install the perimeter cross
tees for the main tee. Use an angle (by others) secured to the cross tee as you set the cross tees into the perimeter tees using the quick snap
connecters. This will prevent the tee from being bumped out of place during construction. All quick snap connections use #20 torque screws.
