MOUNTING PROCEDURES:
Use this mounting procedure to position the field wires in the backbox so that they use minimum space and produce minimum stress
on the product. This is especially important for stiff, heavy gauge wires and wire with thick insulation or sheathing.
1. Strip 1/4" of wire insulation and insert in terminal block, then using a Phillips screwdriver turn screws clockwise until tightened.
2. Remove screw on bottom of Push Station unit with Allen Wrench included in hardware package.
3. Carefully push terminal block into backplate of Push Station until it snaps in securely.
4. Carefully press Push Station into backbox then screw Push Station into backbox using the (2) #6-32 screws provided in hardware
package.
5. Reattach Push Station to unit and secure with screw provided using Allen Wrench.
MOUNTING NOTES:
CAUTION: Check that the installed product will have sufficient clearance and wiring room prior to installing backboxes and
conduit, especially if sheathed multiconductor cable or 3/4" conduit fittings are used.
1. Conduit entrances to the backbox should be selected to provide sufficient wiring clearance for the installed product.
2. When terminating field wires, do not use more lead length than required. Excess lead length could result in insufficient wiring
space for the signaling appliance.
3. Do not pass additional wires (used for other than the signaling appliance) through the backbox. Such additional wires could result
in insufficient wiring space for the signaling appliance.
