Location
It is very important to mount the TEK CB1-A close enough to the projector for the
4’ cables
to reach, but not so close that you cannot fully open the ceiling box lid. The area above the
ceiling box will need to be opened in order to install the supporting cables. Remove the
ceiling tile and place it in a safe area.
Cable Support
Installing ceiling boxes without proper cable support is dangerous and can harm or kill
someone. If you don’t fell comfortable installing these cables, we suggest that you contact a
professional who can do it for you.
Ceiling Truss
Most installations will use a ceiling truss and
require very little effort. Simply loop the end of
the braided cable around the truss and pull it
tight through the eye of the cable. Do the same
for the other 3 cables.
Wood Studded Ceiling
When installing with a wood studded ceiling,
use four
1/4” x 3” eye lag screws. These are
not supplied with the ceiling box. Drill a
1/8”
hole into the stud and secure the screw into
the wood. Place the end of the braided cable through the eye of the lag and pull it tight
through the eye of the cable. Do the same for the other 3 cables.
Concrete Ceiling
For concrete ceiling installations, use four M6 Eye bolts. These are not supplied with the
ceiling box. Using a
1/8” masonry drill bit drill a hole into the concrete and secure the
screw into the concrete by tapping it into place and tighten it down. Place the end of the
braided cable through the eye of the lag and pull it tight through the eye of the cable. Do
the same for the other three cables.
Installation of Kwik-Loc Cable Joiner

pull the end tight around the anchor point.
Step 3
Pull the adjustment pin back on the Kwik-Loc and pass the
end of the wire rope through the cable input opening.
