WARNINGS
The 105BX junction box, 105BM mounting bracket
and 105PM pipe mount attachments are non-conduc-
tive plastic fixtures and do not provide earth-ground
continuity when attached to metallic wiring systems.
Therefore , they are intended for use with the
105DHIST series visual signals only when earth-
grounding is not required.
The 105BX junction box, 105BM mounting bracket
and 105PM pipe mount attachments can be used with
metallic wiring systems only when installed at the
end of a run.
a. Cat. No. 105BX: Screw the outlet box attachment to the
mounting surface (Figure 1) using two screws (not
supplied) suitable for the surface. Attach the adhesive
backed gasket to the top of the 105BX mounting box,
being careful to line up the holes in the gasket with the
mounting holes in the outlet box.
