1. The <strong>Knox</strong>-<strong>Box</strong> ® tamper switch is designed to be connected<br />
to an existing building alarm system and should be installed<br />
only by a qualified alarm technician.<br />
2. Remove tamper switch from lock box before mounting lock<br />
box.<br />
3. Position <strong>Knox</strong>-<strong>Box</strong> on wall so wires from alarm panel<br />
protrude into box through hole (A) in back plate. See figures<br />
1, 2, 3, & 4.<br />
4. Bolt <strong>Knox</strong>-<strong>Box</strong> to wall, following directions provided in<br />
mounting instructions.<br />
IMPORTANT: Keep tamper switch hole (B) clear of caulk,<br />
debris or other foreign material, otherwise tamper switch<br />
may not operate.<br />
5. Recessed Mount <strong>Knox</strong>-<strong>Box</strong> uses door tamper switch only,<br />
therefore, the rear tamper switch is omitted. To reinstall<br />
tamper switch assembly: Align tamper switch bracket screw<br />
holes with back plate holes as shown in Figure 1.<br />
6. Connect tamper switch wires to building alarm. Alarm<br />
wiring must be pulled back through the Alarm Wire<br />
Opening (A) and secured tightly so that if box is removed,<br />
wires will be broken in the process, thereby causing alarm<br />
activation.<br />
7. Surface Mount <strong>Knox</strong>-<strong>Box</strong>: Align rear tamper switch plunger<br />
in back plate, hole (B), as shown in figure 1. Check length<br />
of plunger and, if necessary, adjust plunger screw to give<br />
proper travel. Check plunger contact by GENTLY pressing<br />
the bracket flush against the back plate. CAUTION: If the rear<br />
tamper switch adjustment screw protrudes too far, the rear<br />
tamper switch may break when bracket is tightened. Use of<br />
an ohm meter is recommended to assure that switch trips<br />
(0 ohms – for red/green wires, open for yellow wires) when<br />
bracket is GENTLY pushed flush against the back plate.<br />
8. Secure bracket to back plate with screws provided. Do not<br />
allow wires to go behind mounting bracket, or between<br />
mounting bracket and box sidewall.<br />
9. Connect tamper switch wires to building alarm. Alarm<br />
wiring must be feed back through Alarm Wire Opening (A)<br />
to prevent interference with the lock mechanism.<br />
