Mounting S1000 in XBase Enclosure

Warning:  Disconnect power from the system prior to installation or service.

Caution:  Installation must comply in accordance with National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA70) or Canadian Electrical Code (as applicable) and must only be performed by personnel trained in intrinsically safe systems. Improper installation may result in serious injury or damage.
Before installing, read and understand these instructions completely.

Note:  For additional product descriptions, specifications and installation, see the S1000 Controller Installation Guide.

The Retrofit back-plate allows an installer to upgrade a legacy Sonitrol XBase System to the current Sonitrol CORE product line without replacing the installed enclosure(s). The S1000 or Remote IO including expansion cards are supported on the Retrofit back-plate. The new Audio 8 has the same footprint as the XBase Audio 8.

The use of an existing XBase enclosure for a Sonitrol CORE UL listed installation is not allowed and has not been evaluated by UL.

The accessory kit includes the following hardware:

  • 1 retrofit back-plate

  • 1 battery cable 500mm

  • 12 Hex standoffs, 1/4" Hex size, 5/8" length, 6-32 thread

  • 12 6-32 x ¼” machine screws

  • 6 M3 x 15 standoffs

  • 4 M3 x 25 standoffs

  • 2 M3 x 0.5mm Hex nuts

Configure the Back-Plate

  1. Remove the existing panels and standoffs from the enclosure.

  2. Install the new 5/8" length standoffs provided with back-plate as shown in the following illustration. This mounting guide applies to the 18" and 21" enclosures.

  3. Install the provided M3 x 15mm and M3 x 25mm standoffs onto the new back-plate as shown in the following illustration.

  4. Install the S1000 back-plate into the enclosure with the 25mm standoffs to the left using six 6-32 x ¼” machine screws provided with upgrade back-plate.

Mount the S1000 Controller

  1. Install the tamper spring provided with the S1000 and the Remote IO as shown in the following illustration.

  2. Install tamper jumpers on the S1000 or the Remote IO as they are not used with this enclosure.

  3. Mount the S1000 or the Remote IO using four 3mm screws on each corner and two 9mm standoffs near the center of the board. The screws and standoffs are provided with the S1000 and the Remote IO.

  4. Install up to three additional expansion cards onto the S1000 or the Remote IO using screws provided with each module.

Mount the Audio 8 module

  1. When required, install the optional audio expansion board ( SE1-Audio8) standoffs to the Audio 8 before mounting the Audio 8 module into the enclosure. Use two M3x0.5mm Hex nuts supplied with the back-plate to secure two M3 x 9mm standoffs provided with the expansion board to the Audio 8 as shown in the following illustration.

  2. Install Audio 8 using six 6-32 x ¼ machine screws provided with the back-plate.

  3. When required, install the optional SE1-Audio8 onto the Audio 8 using two 3mm screws provided with SE1-Audio8.

    Note:  The Audio 8 module expansion port is not supported in a legacy enclosure.
