Assuming this OX-600 device will be powered with 24VDC, is the sensor to be mounted on a single gang rough in box or ring with rear wiring entry, or is the wire inlet on the outside of the sensor and to be piped in surface mounted?

The OX-600 main unit is compatible with a JIS single switch box, which suggests that it can be mounted on a single gang rough-in box with rear wiring entry. However, if using an installation board (optional), additional space must be secured for sliding installation. The manual does not explicitly state whether surface mounting with an external wire inlet is required, but it provides details on securing installation space and battery replacement space for certain configurations.

Preface Outline of the Product Preface Thank you for choosing our indoor oxygen monitor OX-600 (hereinafter referred to as the monitor). Please check that the model number of the product you purchased is included in the specifications on this manual.
1 Outline of the Product Definition of DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE Definition of DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE Throughout this manual, the following indications are used to ensure safe and effective work. This message indicates that improper handling may cause serious damage DANGER on life, health or assets.
To maintain the performance of the monitor and use it safely, observe the following instructions with WARNING and CAUTION. WARNING If an abnormality is found in the monitor, contact RIKEN KEIKI immediately. Visit our Web site to find your nearest RIKEN KEIKI office. Web site: http://www.rikenkeiki.co.jp/ 2-1.
2 Important Notice on Safety 2-2. Warning cases 2-2. Warning cases WARNING Before turning on the monitor, always check that the voltage is compliant with the specifications. Operating on an unstable power supply may cause malfunctions. When air calibration is performed, check the atmosphere for freshness before beginning it. If interference gases exist, the air calibration cannot be performed properly, thus leading to dangers when an oxygen deficiency occurs.
