box using four #10 x 1 1/4" (32 mm) screws and
caplugs provided in the enclosed parts bag.
Carefully adhere the gasket, part number P-0075490082 (provided in the enclosed parts bag) to the
box as shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: Be sure hook flange is facing outward as shown
in Figure 1.
NOTE: The designation "TOP" on boxes denotes
orientation of box after installation.
2. Attach mounting plate using two #8-32 screws
provided with the surface box or four #8-32 screws
provided with weatherproof box. The flush box uses
two #8-32 screws (not provided).
3. Bring signaling circuit field wiring into electrical box.
4. Connect signaling circuit field wires to terminals on
