3.6 Mounting the SK-4224
Read the environmental specifications in Section 3.5 before mounting the cabinet.
The panel should be accessible to main drop wiring runs. It should be mounted as close to the
center of the building as possible and located within a secured area, but should be accessible
for testing and service. End-users responsible for maintaining the panel should be able to hear
alarms and troubles. When selecting a location, keep in mind that the panel itself is the main
source of alarm and trouble annunciation.
Mount the cabinet so it is firmly secured to the wall surface. When mounting the cabinet on
concrete, especially when moisture is expected, attach a piece of 3/4-inch plywood to the
concrete surface and then attach the cabinet to the plywood. Also mount any other modules to
the plywood.
Follow these steps to mount the control panel cabinet:
1. Place the cabinet on the mounting surface, level the cabinet and mark the top two
mounting holes.
2. Screw the top two mount screws about 3/4 of the way into the mounting surface.
3. Hang the control panel cabinet on the top mounting screws through the top mounting
screw keyholes.
