Installing an Alarm Housing
UL
The 471956(7187-101) Alarm Housing and ADEMCO AB12 Bell are UL-approved exterior sounding
devices for local mercantile premises bell certification. For exterior auxiliary BA or FA bell applications,
other sounding devices such as the 471859 (7187-037) Bell Unit may be used, provided applicable UL
installation guidelines are followed.
If 471956 Alarm Housing is being used, install it as follows:
Step Action
1 Mount the alarm housing on an outside wall of the building, visible from a public street. It
should be mounted at least 10 feet above street level, but no higher than the ceiling level
of the fourth story above street level.
2 Install the wiring between the control unit and the alarm housing in conduit, without
boxes or openings unless covers are tampered or welded to the box.
3 Using locally available caulking compound, caulk around the conduit connection at the
rear of the alarm housing to prevent water seepage into the housing.
4
If the alarm housing is flush-mounted, the building wall must include an opening 15"
(38.lcm) H x 24" (61cm) W x 5-1/2” (14cm) D with a louvered grille (provided by the
customer). Mount the housing within this opening, and affix a sign (supplied by the
customer) that prominently displays the words "BURGLAR ALARM."
