1. For indoor applications, attach the mounting plate as shown in Figure 2. The mounting plate is compatible only with 4 × 4 electrical boxes.

2. Connect field wiring. (For indoor models only)

3. If the product is not to be installed at this point, use the paint cover to prevent contamination of the mounting plate.

4. To attach product to mounting plate, remove the paint cover, then hook tabs on the product housing into the grooves on mounting plate.

5. Then, swing product into position to engage the pins on the product with the terminals on the mounting plate. Make sure that the tabs on the back of the product housing fully engage with the mounting plate.

6. Secure product by tightening the single mounting screw in the front of the product housing. For tamper resistance, the standard captivated mounting screw may be replaced with the enclosed Torx screw.

K SERIES MOUNTING

1. K Series products may be used indoors or outdoors. They must be installed using the proper SpectrAlert Advance weatherproof back box. Do not attempt to use boxes other than the ones supplied with the product.

2. The plastic weatherproof back box is equipped with removable side flanges for mounting. The back box may be secured directly to the wall or ceiling using the flanges (plastic and metal back boxes) or by using the knockout plugs(plastic back boxes). Knockout plugs are provided to mount directly to the wall or ceiling or to a 1900 weatherproof electrical box, see figure 3

3. The wall mount box must be mounted with its internal post in the lower left corner, as shown in Figure 3.

4. Threaded holes are provided in the sides of the box for ¾ inch conduit adapters. Knockout plugs in the back of the box can be used for ¾ inch rear entry. Unused holes must be sealed. Plugs are provided with the box for this purpose.

5. It is the responsibility of the installer to make sure that all openings and connections are sealed properly. Outdoor installations that are protected from direct exposure to rain are still subject to condensation or leakage through hidden areas, such as a soffit.

6. Water may pool on the back box due to condensation or direct exposure to rain or snow. Use watertight fittings for all wiring connections, including the knockout plugs on the back of the box. When using plastic plugs to fill unused threaded holes, apply teflon tape and/or silicone sealant to reduce the chance of leakage.

7. Attach the mounting plate to the weatherproof back box using the four unpainted screws supplied.
