Moving parts could cause severe cuts or amputation. DO NOT reach into the
siren openings.
To flat surface mount the siren:
1.
Center the siren mechanism on the mounting surface, and using the mounting
holes in the legs of the mechanism as a template, drill three 7/16-inch holes in the
mounting surface. (See Figure 4.)
2.
Temporarily set the siren housing over the siren mechanism on the mounting plate.
Center the housing over the mechanism.
3.
Using the housing and the aluminum clips as a template, drill three 1/4-inch holes
approximately equidistant around the circumference of the housing. Lift the housing
off the siren. It will be reinstalled later.
4.
Mount the siren/base plate assembly on the mounting surface using lag bolts or
nuts and bolts as appropriate. Do NOT replace the housing on the siren. It will be
replaced later. If the siren is mounted directly on a roof (without a platform or weight
distribution mat), be sure to install waterproof joints where the mounting bolts pass
through the roof so that water does not enter the building.
5.
Install the RC2W Motor Starter, fused disconnect switch, and other control
devices as close as is practical to the siren following local electrical codes and
NEC recommendations. If the siren is installed on the roof of a building, it may be
desirable to install the RC2W and other control devices inside the building. The unit
must be installed vertically to operate correctly. (See Figure 4.)
