Flush Mounting the Keypad
If flush mounting is required, use a plastic single
gang electrical switch box, instead of the
original white back box (
see Figure 7.2). A flush
mount box can be obtained from your local
building supply outlet.
CAUTION: The Keypad manual shows the use
of a standard single gang, metal electrical switch
box. Accutech does not recommend the use of
this type of box for two reasons:
1. The fit is very, very tight. If the wires
are stripped a little “long” as they enter
the terminal block they may short to the
side of the metal box.
2. If this is not new construction and an
electrical box with “zip” mounts is to be
retrofitted in the wall, these zip mount
tabs may actually protrude into the box
and then it will be impossible to fit the
Keypad circuitry inside the box.
If a metal box is required, you will need to find a
single gang box fitting the dimensions indicated
in Figure 7.2. You may find it easier to use a 4”
square metal box and then use one of the many
varieties of face plates available from your local
building supply outlet that will accept the
Keypad.
