MOUNTING

FIGURE 2.

MOUNTING (WALL OR CEILING)

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 in-

stalled 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, includ-
ing 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.

8.   Follow steps 1 – 6 of the indoor mounting instructions to wire and attach 

the product.
