PRELUDE® XL MAX™
Suspension System Technical GuideData Center Ceiling Solutions
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 Prelude XL Max suspension system uses
3/8 inch threaded rod support and reconfigurable
load connector clips to support cable trays, bus
bars, and other components to provide maximum
load carrying capacity and flexibility, while
eliminating the need for a separate strut channel
suspension system.

1. Install threaded rod to deck
2. Slide the IHC onto main beam and attach to threaded rod. Splice not more than 6" from rod
3. Snap in cross tees and rivet the connection
4. Slide on and secure the load connectors
5. Screw attach load connectors
IMpORTANT: Connections for load-carrying grid form a structural element. Please take time to understand and follow installation instructions to ensure rated load performance.

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, as directed in section 2.
• 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 tied 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.
• Ceiling areas over 2,500 SF must have seismic separation joints or full height partitions.
• 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.
• Perimeter support wires within 8”.
NOTe: Consult your local code professional for information specific to your region. California projects may be governed by DSA and OSHPD.

GeNeRAL LOADING INFORMATION:
For main beams and 4' cross tees directly connected to an IHC clip with rod to deck, total load for any 4' span not to exceed 93 lbs.
NOTE: This is the minimum load performance. See following pages for additional allowable loading conditions. If higher loads are required, contact Techline for guidance and a qualified engineering professional.

** Values are not valid when a TLMBS is within the span.
NOTeS: These values are based on the spans being installed in a 2' x 2' module (using a 2' tee). Unbraced or 2' x 4' modules will have a lower mid span load value.
Max mid span load = 93 lbs** Max point load within 3" of threaded rod = 300 lbs**
Max mid span load = 93 lbs** Max point load within 3" of threaded rod = 300 lbs**
