4.

 

Carefully  open  the  hinged  front  cover  taking  care  there  are  no  loose  items 
which may have shifted during transportation. 

 
5.

 

The  AOR-8  or  AOR-16  may  be  either  surface  mounted  onto  a  wall  or  flush 
mounted into a wall.  

 

NOTE:

  For  flush  mounting  units,  AOR-8  and  AOR-16  units  should  be 

ordered  with  the  available  AOR-TR16  Flush  Mount  Trim  Ring  (sold 
separately). 

 
 

NOTE:

 Conduit knockouts exist on the rear, top, and bottom sides of the 

enclosure  for  access  to  power  and  communication  lines.  Determine  the 
method  of  bringing  in  these  power  and  communication  lines 

before

 

mounting the enclosure. 

 
 

NOTE:

  Whenever  possible,  it  is  best  to  keep  the  maximum  clearance 

possible  between  analog  phone  lines  and  alternating  current.  Running 
phone  lines  too  close  to  hot  VAC  lines  will  produce  undesired  effects  on 
the phone line. 

 

 
6.

 

For mounting the unit directly to the surface of an interior wall,  
The AOR-8 and AOR-16 has six (4) surface mounting keyholes.

The AOR-8 and AOR-16 each have eight (8) 7/32 [in] knockouts located on the 
top, bottom and sides which  can be used for  either mounting the unit within  a 
wall or to fasten the available AOR-TR16 Flush Mount Trim Ring. This trim ring 
may  be  installed  in  contact  with  the  closed  cover  without  inhibiting  the 
functionality of the hinge. 

 
8.

 

Secure  the  AOR-TR16  to  the  AOR-8  or  AOR-16  unit  in  the  desired  location

instructions packaged with the strobe/siren assembly.  

 
10.
