The 4098-9788 base mounts to a 4-inch octagonal, 4-inch square, or single gang electrical box.  
When mounting to a 4-inch square or any surface mounted box, the 4098-9832 adapter plate kit 
must be used.

Notes: 
1.  Break off plastic lock tab to engage locking mechanism. To lock detector/sensor into base, 
turn unit until the locking tab clicks into place. To unlock detector/sensor, insert the blade of a 
screwdriver into this slot and then pull down on handle. This action allows the detector/sensor 
to be turned and removed (see Figure 2-1). 
2.  Refer to the “Compatibility and Testing” chapter of this publication for detailed information 
on compatible detectors/sensors. 
3.  Bases with relay modules require a 1 ½-inch extension ring (not supplied) mounted to the  
4-inch square or octagonal electrical box to meet the space requirement of the relay cube and 
its wires. The relay module(s) cannot be used in single-gang electrical box installations. The 
relay cube 4098-9822 must be installed in the electrical box directly behind the sensor base. 
4.  Use Adapter Plate Kit 4098-9832 when mounting the 4098-9794 and 4098-9795 to a surface 
mounted 4-inch square or octagonal box. Adapter plates must be installed with textured side 
towards the electrical box for this installation only.
