EVS Device Installation
4.1 Mounting the Cabinet
This section provides instructions on how to install the EVS series cabinet for surface
or recessed mounting. Refer to Section 3.1 when choosing a mounting location.
4.1.1
Preventing Water Damage
Water damage to the fire system can be caused by moisture entering the cabinet
through the conduit. Conduits that are installed to enter the top of the cabinet are
most likely to cause water problems. Installers should take reasonable precautions to
prevent water from entering the cabinet. Water damage is not covered under
warranty.
4.1.2
Surface Mounting
The Cabinet can be mounted on the wall surface by using the mounting holes in the
back of the cabinet (see 4.1).
The EVS-RCU Remote Command Unit is a combination EVS-RVM Remote Voice
Module and its associated 5860 annunciator. The EVS-RCU is compatible with the
Silent Knight 5820XL-EVS. For more information, refer to Installation manual for the
5820XL-EVS (PN LS10061-001SK-E).
Cabinet dimensions are 20" W x 26½” H x 4.6" D.
1. Insert two screws level with each other, 14" apart for the top cabinet key shaped
holes. See Figure 4-1.
2. Hang the cabinet onto the two screws. Tighten the screws down.
3. Insert two screws into the two bottom mounting holes and tighten them snug to
the cabinet.
If you need to remove the cabinet door and the dead front panel, see Section 4.1.3.1
Caution!
To avoid the risk of electrical shock and damage to the unit, power should be OFF at the
control panel while installing or servicing.
