FAQs

Where are the rim and round gaskets fitted?

The rim gasket sits inside the deep back box, with its outside edge near the moulding's inner wall. Remove its backing and press the adhesive face onto the box. The round gasket goes on the outer rear face. Remove its backing and middle cutout, centre it on the back of the box and press it into place. Fitting the gasket to the deep back box provides IP55 protection for the S-Cubed installation.

What protection does the S3-GASKET-IP55 provide?

Fitting the gasket to the deep back box provides IP55 protection for an S-Cubed installation. The rim gasket is placed inside the box, near its inner wall, while the round gasket is centred on the outside rear face after removing the middle cutout. Both adhesive faces are pressed onto the moulding after their backing is removed. The Type A (IP21) S-Cubed Mark 3 devices are for internal wall installation and must still be installed indoors.

How many sounders does one pack cover?

The pack contains ten gaskets for ten sounders, with one gasket per device. The gasket fits the deep back box, which is also called the standard deep base of the S-Cubed unit. Fitting uses the adhesive faces exposed when the backing is removed. The rim gasket goes inside the box and the round gasket is centred on its rear face. With the gasket fitted, the back box provides IP55 protection for the installation.

Does deep back box mean the standard deep base?

Yes. The deep back box is the standard deep base at the rear of the wall mounted S-Cubed device. This is the moulding that takes the gasket. The rim gasket sits inside it, close to the inner wall, and the round gasket is centred on the outer rear face after its middle cutout is removed. Press the exposed adhesive faces onto the moulding. The fitted gasket provides IP55 protection at this back box.

Can Type A S-Cubed devices be installed outside with this gasket?

Type A (IP21) S-Cubed Mark 3 devices are for internal wall installation and must not be mounted on external walls. The gasket provides IP55 protection when fitted to their deep back box. It uses adhesive fixing: remove the backing before pressing the rim gasket inside the box and the round gasket onto the rear face. The round gasket's middle cutout is removed before fitting. The pack contains ten gaskets, with one per device for ten sounders.
