6.3 Backplates and Surface Mounting Spacer
The teleCARE IP switch modules are designed to be mounted on flat walls using the teleCARE
backplate. The backplate is designed to be mounted over flush fitted back boxes and an array of holes
in the backplate allows it to be mounted over various international back boxes.
As an alternative to the backplate a spacer is available for surface mounting the teleCARE switch
modules, with or without a back box. The spacer can be mounted directly on to a flat wall surface or
alternatively, the holes in the base of the spacer allows it to be mounted over various international
back boxes.

Note: The duty selector can only be mounted on a surface mounting spacer, not on a switch
module backplate.
6.3.1 Mounting the Backplate on a Back box
To mount the backplate on a back box the mounting screws in the back box should not be removed
but partially unscrewed to extend at least 0.2in (5mm) above the wall surface.
Important: Use only the plastic back boxes listed in Table 8.
