Prior to installation consider the following:
• Weight and size of the enclosure.
• Local codes.
Install the backbox:

knockouts in the BE-1 with the knockouts in the FACP enclosure.
3. Position the backbox so that it is clear of obstructions and the front door opens freely.
4. Mark the locations of the two upper mounting bolts of the backbox on the wall. (Refer to Figure 2.)
