MOUNTING PROCEDURES:
Use this mounting procedure to position the field wires in the backbox so that they use minimum space and produce minimum stress on the product.
This is especially important for stiff, heavy gauge wires and wires with thick insulation or sheathing.
NOTE: The Universal Mounting Plate (UMP) must be oriented correctly when it is mounted to the backbox Turn the UMP so that the arrow above the
words "Horizontal Strobe" points to the top side of the UMP.
1. Thread the 4 field wires through the opening of the UMP.
2. Mount the UMP to backbox.
3. Connect 4 field wires to the AH terminal block (polarity must be observed).
4. Bend the 4 field wires up 90
5. Carefully push the 4 field wires into the backbox through the opening of the UMP by hand.
6. Hook the 2 slots on the inside wall of the AH onto the 2 tabs of the UMP and screw the AH to the UMP using the #6-20 screw supplied.

MOUNTING NOTES:

Check that the installed product will have sufficient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes and conduit, especially if sheathed
multiconductor cable or 3/4" conduit fittings are used.
1. All models can be flush mounted to a standard single-gang backbox (Figure A), 4" square backbox (Figure B) or double-gang backbox
(Figure C). They can also be surface mounted to a 4" square or 100mm backbox (Figure B), a double-gang backbox (Figure C) or a SHBBS
surface backbox (Figure D).
2. All models are equipped with a Universal Mounting Plate (UMP).
3. Mounting hardware for each mounting option is supplied. For proper mounting, be sure to use the mounting screws supplied with the unit.
4. Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed product.
5. When terminating field wires, do not use more lead length than required. Excess lead length could result in insufficient wiring space for the
signaling appliance.
6. Do not pass additional wires (used for other than the signaling appliance) through the backbox. Such additional wires could result in
insufficient wiring space for the signaling appliance.
7. The effect of shipping and storage temperatures do not adversely affect the performance of the appliances when stored in the original cartons
and are not subjected to misuse.
These appliances can produce a distinctive three pulse Temporal Pattern Fire Alarm Evacuation Signal (for total evacuation) in accordance with
NFPA 72.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital appliance, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: 1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna, 2) Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver, 3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected, and 4) Consult
the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
