Thomas&betts Afm-fas series User manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

(Floor Box)

STEP 1

Orient AFM-FAS Series Floor Box so that the knock out (K.O.)

plates are aligned with the Conduit Space of the Raised Floor

Panel. The Retainer Clips must be flush against the side of the

floor box prior to placing the box into the floor. This is to ensure

the floor box is centered inside the raised floor panel (see Fig. A).

AFM-FAS Series Floor Boxes are to be used with AFM-FAS-C-BLK (black) or AFM-FAS-C-GRY (gray) Covers

(4) 2” x 1” Knock Outs

(K.O.’s) for Data Cables

STEP 2

All four Mounting Tabs must be flat against the top surface of

Raised Floor Panel. Locate both Retainer Clips (see Fig. B). Once

the floor box is in place, use a screwdriver to secure Retainer

Clips by tightening the Screw located on top of the Mounting Tab

clockwise to secure the Retaining Clip (see Fig.B). The Floor Box

should not be able to move once secured properly.

STEP 5 (Option C -Electrical and Data)

Install the Voltage-divider (AFM-FAS-DIV) in the marked location

of the Floor Box (see Figures E.1 and E.2). Electrical power

will be on side where the 1/2 K.O. Plate or 10-Pin Modular

Connector Plate is mounted. The oval knockout on the other

side of the Voltage-divider should be removed to allow passage

of data cable. Make certain back edge of Voltage-divider is up

against inside vertical wall of Floor Box. The Device Panel (not

shown) will secure the Voltage-Divider in place.

Optional Wire Tunnel, AFM-FAS-WT (sold separately) can be

used to extend power to the other Device Panel on opposite

side of Floor Box (see Step 6).

STEP 6 (Option C-Electrical and Data)

Use Wire Tunnel, AFM-FAS-WT, under one of the following

conditions (see Figure G):

A. Extending power from one Device Panel to the other

Device Panel on other side of Floor Box.

B. Power Device is not accessible to 1/2 K.O. Plate or

10-Pin Modular Connector Plate because of the

Voltage-divider.

Remove the knockouts for the Wire Tunnel from the Device

Panels (see Figure F.1). Place electrical wires under Wire

Tunnel and install as shown in the figure. Secure in place

using the Device Panels (see Figure F.2).
