Installing the Siemens FB-300 backboxes and FC-300 door for Firefighters' Telephone Stations requires careful attention to detail and adherence to local regulations. Here's a straightforward guide:
-
Mounting Preparation:
- Before you begin, consider the mounting height. Ensure the station is easily accessible for firefighters. Also, factor in the weight and dimensions of the FB-300 enclosure.
- Always check and comply with all local mounting codes and regulations.
-
Backbox Installation:
- FB-300 Flush Mount: First, remove the necessary knockouts to accommodate field wiring. Then, position the empty backbox against the wall, making sure the "TOP" marking is facing upwards. Next, cut an appropriately sized hole in the wall, referring to the dimensions provided in the Siemens documentation. Mark the locations for mounting screws, drill pilot holes, and securely fasten the backbox to the wall using screws appropriate for the wall material.
- FB-301 Surface Mount: The surface mount installation follows a similar process as the flush mount, with adjustments made for mounting on the wall's surface instead of recessed within it.
-
FC-300 Door Installation:
- Once the backbox is securely mounted, attach the FC-300 door using the screws provided. For break glass installation or replacement, consult the FT-GLS Installation Instructions document for specific guidance.
By carefully following these steps and referring to the official Siemens documentation, you can ensure proper installation, maintain accessibility, and comply with all relevant standards for your Firefighters' Telephone Stations.
