1 Prelude xl Max Suspension System Technical Guide Data Center Ceiling Solutions

2 technical guide The Prelude XL Max suspension system for data center applications is a pre-engineered ceiling suspension system designed for improved air flow management, load carrying capacity, and adaptability in data centers of all sizes. The suspension system uses 3/8 inch threaded rod support and reconfigurable load connector clips to support cable trays, bus bars, hot aisle containment, and other components to provide maximum load carrying capacity and flexibility, while eliminating the need for a separate strut channel suspension system. Code Compliance You Can Trust Suspension system meets: ASTM C635 ASTM C636 ASTM E580 ICC-ES AC156 Seismic D, E, F configurations available Key Selection Attributes Suspension System Supports load from the face utilizing 3/8" threaded rod and integrated hanging clips to provide: Allows for flexible and reconfigurable overhead cable trays, electrical distribution, and hot aisle containment to meet client needs without a separate strut channel system.

Seismic Data Seismic information IBC categories D, E and F must also meet these additional requirements: Structural wall angle is to be used along the perimeter with a XTAC clip attaching the grid to the angle molding, along fixed walls only. Grid must be attached to two adjacent walls opposite walls must have a 3/4" clearance in accordance with ASTM E580. Ends of main beams and cross tees must be connected together to prevent their spreading. These should be locked into place using the lateral support bar. Ultra Heavy-duty grid system. See load data. Ceiling areas over 1,000 SF must have standard rigid bracing for the grid. Ceilings without rigid bracing must have 2" oversized trim rings for sprinklers and other penetrations. Changes in ceiling plane must have positive bracing. Mechanicals (Cable trays, electrical, etc) may be attached and supported by the ceiling grid, per our instructions. However, mechanicals must be seismically braced by others. Suspended ceilings will be subject to special inspection. NOTE: Consult your local code professional for information specific to your region. California projects may be governed by DSA and OSHPD. 8 For more information, call
