1. Select a mounting method as detailed in Figure 1 and
install the electrical box using suitable hardware.
a. For outdoor applications, install the weatherproof box
using four #10 x 1 1/4" (32 mm) screws and caplugs
provided in the enclosed parts bag. Carefully adhere
the gasket, part number P-007549-0082 (provided in
the enclosed parts bag) to the box as shown in
Figure 1.

•
Be sure hook flange is facing outward as shown in
Figure 1.
•
The designation "TOP" on boxes denotes orientation
of box after installation.
2. Attach mounting plate using two #8-32 screws provided
with the surface box or four #8-32 screws provided with
weatherproof box. The flush box uses two #8-32 screws
(not provided).
3. Bring signaling circuit field wiring into electrical box.
4. Connect signaling circuit field wires to terminals on
horn/strobe
assembly (
Figure 2
through
Figure 4
).
5. Ground in accordance with national and local electrical
codes. A green ground screw is provided with both the
indoor and outdoor surface boxes.
6. Mount the horn/strobe assembly on the mounting plate
(Figure 1).
a. The inside of the top of the grille has hinges that pass
through cutouts and engage with tabs on the
mounting plate. With the bottom of the grille lifted out
slightly, place the grille over the mounting plate so
that the hinges of the grille are in the mounting
cutouts.
b. Properly seat the grille by pressing the bottom in.
c. Fasten the bottom of the grille to the mounting plate
by installing the captive combination drive screw.
7. Apply power and activate the horn/strobe unit to verify that
it is operating properly.
