Note: You will need to consult the various installation manuals supplied with each system component
for instructions on wiring your installation.
Installing the Back Panel
Use a #10-32 x 5/16” (8 mm) screw and #10 washer to attach the back panel to
the shelter. If installing the SR Modem or a similarly-sized component. you
must attach cable ties to the back panel before installing it. See “Installing
Short-Range Modem or Similar-Sized Equipment” on page 12 for details.

Installing a Module
You may install any of the following modules into the CSS: sensor interface
module, Protected Junction Box, Alarm Output Module (AOM), or Interface
Cable Adapter Module. You may mount the AOM on the door of the CSS
(because the AOM does not require grounding). All other modules should be
mounted in the shelter’s main box. To install the AOM in the cover, attach the
double-stick pads to the base of the AOM and use the double-stick pads to
secure the AOM to the door of the shelter in the location shown below. To
mount a module in the shelter’s main box, use the #4 x 1/2” (12.5 mm) self-tapping screws as shown below.

Installing Short-Range Modem or Similar-Sized Equipment
Install the Short-Range Modem (SR Modem) into the CSS by using cable ties to
secure VELCRO
®
straps (provided with the SR Modem) to the back wall of the
CSS. Then use the VELCRO straps to secure the SR Modem and adapter in
place. Consult the SR Modem manual for detailed instructions.

Installing Surge Protectors
To install 2- or 4-wire Surge Protectors in the CSS, you will need to obtain a
ground terminal (available free from Davis). The ground terminal includes all
hardware necessary to install the surge protector as shown below. Connect the
ground jumper to the surge protectors and the ground lug. Consult the surge
protector manual for instructions on wiring the surge protectors.
INSTALLING SURGE PROTECTOR
Page 14 Complete System Shelter
GROUNDING THE CSS
Connect the CSS to ground using the provided ground wire. If you anticipate
heavy surges, you may wish to use a heavier wire, strap, or multiple wires. Cut
the ground wire to the length required to reach from the CSS to a suitable
ground, such as Davis Instruments’ Grounding Kit (Product #7780). The
ground wire should be as short as possible. Strip both ends of the ground wire
(remove the spade lug if necessary) and insert one end into the ground lug.
Secure in place by tightening the ground lug screw. Attach the other end to a
suitable ground.

Securing Cables Page 15
SECURING CABLES
Secure cable to the inside of the shelter using self-adhesive cable tie mounts
and cable ties. When finished installing components, tighten the compression
nuts on the strain reliefs to secure the cables and create a weather -resistant seal.
If there is a large air space around the cables, fill the space by wrapping the
cables in electrical tape and/or sealing with silicone caulking.
