Laying Out Equipment in Cabinet and Chassis

• Mount the backbox on a surface that is in a clean, dry, vibration-free area.
CAUTION:
!
Unless you are familiar with the placement of components within this backbox, only use the knockout
locations provided for conduit entry.
Follow the instructions below.
1. Mark and pre-drill holes for the top two keyhole mounting bolts (0.25 inch, 0.635 cm). Use
mounting hardware appropriate for the mounting surfaces; see UL 2017 Pull-Test
Requirements.
2. Select and punch open the appropriate knock-outs. (For selection guidelines, see Section 3.11
"UL Power-limited Wiring Requirements".)
3. Using the keyholes, mount the backbox over the two screws.
4. Mark the location for the two lower holes, remove the backbox and drill the mounting holes.
5. Mount the backbox over the top two screws, then install the remaining fasteners. Tighten all
fasteners securely.

3.4 Laying Out Equipment in Cabinet and Chassis
The XLS140 allows for flexible system design. Follow these guidelines when deciding where to
locate equipment in the backbox.
The first row of equipment mounts in chassis CHS-M2. Mount second, third, or fourth rows of
equipment in chassis CHS-4N (panel circuit modules, see Section 3.12 "Installing Panel Circuit
Modules"), or in chassis CHS-4L (voice components, see the Voice Alarm System Manual). Some
equipment, such as the XLS-NCA and annunciators, may be door-mounted; refer to the
equipment's documentation for instructions.
There are four basic positions available on a chassis (side-by-side); the number of modules that can
be mounted in each position depends on the chassis model and the module size.
