biamp TCM-X-FM Flush Mount Kit

Product Information

The TCM-X is a microphone designed for flush mount or recessed mount installation in ceilings. It comes with a C-Ring, Flush Mount
Bracket, Spacer, Adapter, Strain Relief Washer, and Hole Template.
The kit contents are used for C-Ring installation or optional tile bridge installation.

Flush Mount TCM-X Installation

1. Prepare the ceiling using the hole template. Remove any debris from around the hole. The hole diameter should be 162 mm (6.38 inches).
2. Insert the C-Ring into the hole above the ceiling. Flex and rotate the C-Ring up/in if above-ceiling access isn’t available.
3. With clamps rotated in, insert flush mount bracket into the ceiling. Remove any tape holding the clamps.
4. Clamp bracket onto the C-Ring by screwing (3) clamps down with a Phillips screwdriver. Ensure clamps are all positioned on the C-Ring before fully tightening.
5. Screw the adapter, washer, and conduit nut onto the TCM-X shaft, with or without the spacer depending on desired position in the ceiling. The spacer and adapter both have notches that must fit onto the ribs on top of the mic (see Alignment Detail).
6. Insert the assembled mic into the bracket, push up and rotate to lock into place. Make wiring connections to mic before inserting it in finished drywall ceiling.

Recessed Mount TCM-X Installation

1. Prepare the ceiling using the hole template. Remove any debris from around the hole. The hole diameter should be 162 mm (6.38 inches).
2. Insert the C-Ring into the hole above the ceiling. Flex and rotate the C-Ring up/in if above-ceiling access isn’t available.
3. With clamps rotated in, insert flush mount bracket into the ceiling. Remove any tape holding the clamps.
4. Clamp bracket onto the C-Ring by screwing (3) clamps down with a Phillips screwdriver. Ensure clamps are all positioned on the C-Ring before fully tightening.
5. Screw the adapter, washer, and conduit nut onto the TCM-X shaft, with or without the spacer depending on desired position in the ceiling. The spacer and adapter both have notches that must fit onto the ribs on top of the mic (see Alignment Detail).
6. Place the spacer on the shaft (correct side up – fitting onto ribs in the mic) before inserting the TCM-X in the bracket.
7. Insert the assembled mic into the bracket, push up and rotate to lock into place. Make wiring connections to mic before inserting it in finished drywall ceiling.

Installation with Optional Tile Bridge

1. Install tile bridge and prepared ceiling tile in the ceiling grid.
2. Rotate the clamps in and insert the bracket in the hole. It must fit in the tile bridge opening as shown in the detail.
3. Tighten clamps with a Phillips head screwdriver. They should hold the bracket in place but not deform the tile.
4. Insert the mic into the bracket and tile bridge. Secure the mic on the assembly with the octagonal strain relief washer and conduit nut. The adapter will not be used.
