MOUNTING INDOOR WALL OR CEILING PRODUCTS
1. Attach mounting plate to junction box as shown in Figure 7. The mount-
ing plate is compatible with 4-inch square, double gang, and 4-inch octa-
gon junction boxes (2-wire products may be used with a single gang box).
2. Connect field wiring to terminals, as shown in Figures 4 or 5.
3. If the product is not to be installed at this point, use the paint cover to
prevent contamination of the mounting plate. (For indoor models only)
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. 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.
SURFACE MOUNT BACK BOX MOUNTING
1. The surface mount back box may be secured directly to the wall or ceil-
ing. Grounding bracket provided if needed.
2. The wall mount box must be mounted with the up arrow pointing up.
3. Threaded knockout holes are provided for the sides of the box for ¾ inch
and ½ inch conduit adapter. Knockout holes in the back of the box can
be used for ¾ inch and ½ inch rear entry.
4. To remove the ½ inch knockout, we recommend you use a flat head screw-
driver ,place the blade of the flat head screwdriver in the inner edge of the
knockout. Strike the screwdriver as you work you way around as shown in
Figure 9.
To remove the ¾ inch knockout place the blade of the screwdriver along
the outer edge and work your way around the knockout as you strike the
screwdriver, as shown in Figure 9.
NOTE: For both ½ in. and ¾ in. installation, use caution not to strike the
knockout near the top edge of the wall version of the surface mount back box.
5. V500 and V700 raceway knockouts are also provided. Use V500 for low
profile applications and V700 for high profile applications.
6. To remove the knockout turn pliers up, as shown in Figure 9.

©2014 System Sensor
The horn and/or strobe will not work without power. The horn/strobe gets its power
from the fire/security panel monitoring the alarm system. If power is cut off for any rea-
son, the horn/strobe will not provide the desired audio or visual warning.
The horn may not be heard. The loudness of the horn meets (or exceeds) current
Underwriters Laboratories’ standards. However, the horn may not alert a sound sleeper or
one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. The horn may
not be heard if it is placed on a different floor from the person in hazard or if placed too
far away to be heard over the ambient noise such as traffic, air conditioners, machinery
or music appliances that may prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm. The horn
may not be heard by persons who are hearing impaired.
NOTE: Strobes must be powered continuously for horn operation. The signal strobe may not be seen. The electronic visual warning signal uses an extremely
reliable xenon flash tube. It flashes at least once every second. The strobe must not be
installed in direct sunlight or areas of high light intensity (over 60 foot candles) where the
visual flash might be disregarded or not seen. The strobe may not be seen by the visually
impaired.
The signal strobe may cause seizures. Individuals who have positive photoic response to
visual stimuli with seizures, such as persons with epilepsy, should avoid prolonged exposure
to environments in which strobe signals, including this strobe, are activated.
The signal strobe cannot operate from coded power supplies. Coded power supplies
produce interrupted power. The strobe must have an uninterrupted source of power in or-
der to operate correctly. System Sensor recommends that the horn and signal strobe always
be used in combination so that the risks from any of the above limitations are minimized.
