2-12.1.3 SEMI-FLUSH MOUNTING ON WALL
To semi-flush mount the Remote Enclosure:
1. Remove the keys from the envelope taped to the top of the enclosure.
2. Remove the Remote Enclosure door first by unlocking it and then lifting the door up to allow the
door’s hinges to clear the mating-hinge pins on the enclosure.
3. Remove module PCB from inside enclosure by removing four screws holding it in place.
4. Cut and plumb an opening in the wall on which the Remote Enclosure will be mounted
approximately 13 in. wide by 8 in. high (Refer to Figure 2-40.)
5. Position and plumb the enclosure in the opening made in Step 4. Ensure that the front edge of
the enclosure is at least 3/4 inches from the surface of the wall. Center the enclosure within the
opening as closely as possible.
6. Secure the enclosure to the wall with appropriate mounting bolts (up to size 1/4-20). The
enclosure may optionally be mounted to adjacent wall studs. Holes for stud mounting must be
drilled as required.
7. Slide the trim ring over the enclosure into opening, flush against wall.
8. Insert and hand-tighten four 8/32-in. screws (provided in hardware kit) through the slots in the
enclosure into trim ring itself.
9. Adjust the position of the trim ring and tighten screws.
10. With the enclosure secured to the wall, replace module PCB removed earlier and secure screws.
11. Attach wiring conduit to the enclosure through the enclosure knockouts and pull the required
number of wires through the conduit to the enclosure. Leave approximately 2 to 3 feet of wire
length in the enclosure for field wiring connections.
12. Connect power and RS485 cables. Refer to the wiring diagram shown in Figure 2-41.
13. Replace the door when done.
