Flush Mounting with an Electrical Box
The 5860 annunciator can be used with the following types of electrical boxes: 4S, single-
gang, and double-gang.
If an electrical box is used, the box must be 1-3/8” back from the face of the wall to
accommodate the annunciator. Studs used with an electrical box must be two by fours (or
larger).

Flush Mounting Steps
1. Cut a hole in the sheet rock to the following dimensions: 8-1/4” w x 6-5/8” h. If an electri-
cal box is used, the box must be 1-3/8” back from face of wall to accommodate the annun-
ciator (see Figure 4-12).
2. Remove knockout holes as needed for wires.
3. Fit the annunciator back box into the hole and stabilize with mounting wires. Angle the
mounting wires into the first hole past the sheet rock. Secure the wires behind the screws
as shown in Figure 4-13. When all four wires are in place, the back box should fit snugly
into the hole in the sheet rock.
