CHAPTER 3
3.1
Mounting Options
The cabinet may be surface or semi-flush mounted. Semi-flush mounting
requires use of the FC-TR trim ring illustrated in Figure 3-2. The door is
removable during the installation period by opening and lifting it off the
hinges. The cabinet mounts using two key slots at the top of the backbox
and two additional 0.250" diameter holes located at the bottom.
Carefully unpack the system and check for shipping damage. Mount the
cabinet in a clean, dry, vibration-free area where extreme temperatures are
not encountered. The area should be readily accessible with sufficient
room to easily install and maintain the panel. Locate the top of the cabi-
net approximately five feet above the floor with the hinge mounting on
the left. Determine the number of conductors required for the devices to
be installed. Sufficient knockouts are provided for wiring convenience.
Select the appropriate knockout(s) and pull the required conductors into
the box. Note that there are no knockouts on the back of the cabinet. All
wiring should be in accordance with the National and/or Local codes for fire alarm systems.
