TO MOUNT THE SS
1 The SS should be installed in an open area 1.2 m (48”) to 1.5 m (60”) above the
floor in line with other wall mounted devices, or as otherwise required by local
codes or project documentation.
The SMART-Sensor
™
can be mounted using one of three methods.
Mounting Method 1
A single device, 2 x 4 electrical box, or 2 x 4 mud ring is installed in the wall prior
to mounting the controller backplate. This method is preferred, as it provides a
firm mounting base for the sensor.
FIGURE 29: ELECTRICAL BOX MOUNTING
Use the two Phillips screws provided to attach the backplate to the underlying
electrical box or mud ring.
Mounting Method 2
The backplate is screwed directly to the wall, with no electrical box or mud ring.
Use suitable anchors and screws to secure the backplate to the wall. This
method is not recommended by Reliable Controls
®
because the SS is likely to
loosen over time.
Mounting Method 3
The backplate is screwed to a metal/plastic/wood surface on a larger device or
alternative location. Use two self-tapping (for metal or plastic surface) or wood
screws in this application.
