INTRODUCTION

The Model BB-55 or BB-55R from Siemens Industry,
Inc. is used to house BTX-1 (31 AH) and BTX-2 (55
AH) batteries for the MXL/MXLV/MXL-IQ System. The
BB-55 is black and the BB-55R is red.

KNOCKOUT FOR WIRING

The backbox can be mounted on a flat surface with
four user-supplied bolts that are a maximum of 3/8 inch
in diameter.

INSTALLATION

Prior to installation, consider the following:

• Weight and size of the enclosure.

• Local codes.

1. Select a clean, dry, shock and vibration free
surface.

2. Position the backbox directly beneath the MXL
enclosure to which it will be wired, lining up the
knockouts in the BB-55 with the knockouts in the
MXL enclosure.

3. Position the backbox so that it is clear of
obstructions and the front door opens freely.

4. Mark the locations of the two upper mounting
bolts of the backbox on the wall. (See Figure 2.)

5. Drill the two holes located in the previous step
and screw in the top bolts, leaving a small gap
between the wall and each top bolt.

6. Place the backbox over the two top bolts and
allow it to slide down over the bolts.

7. Mark, drill, and install the two bottom bolts in the
backbox.

8. Tighten all four bolts securely against the back
wall of the backbox.

9. Place the batteries in the bottom of the BB-55.
