Alarm Controls 30203 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Alarm Controls 30203 back box work outdoors or in a wash-down area?
Yes. The 30203 is a weatherproof surface mount back box rated for wet locations. It's die cast zinc with a light gray finish, and it ships with two hole plugs so you can seal off whichever of the three 1/2 inch I.P.S. openings you don't run conduit into. Plugging the unused holes is what keeps the enclosure sealed, so don't leave them open on an exterior wall.
2) Do I need to cut into the wall to install the 30203 back box?
No. The 30203 is a surface mount box, so it sits on the face of the wall rather than in a cut-in opening. That's the reason to use it on block, concrete, tile, or exterior walls where you can't open up a cavity for a flush single gang box. Conduit lands through the three 1/2 inch I.P.S. threaded holes.
3) What conduit size does the Alarm Controls 30203 box accept?
Three 1/2 inch I.P.S. threaded holes, so it mates with standard 1/2 inch iron pipe size conduit fittings. There are three openings total and two plugs are supplied, which covers the common case of one conduit run in with the other two sealed. Run more than one and you'll be short a plug.
4) Is the 30203 back box metal or plastic, and will it hold up in a high traffic commercial entry?
Die cast zinc, not plastic, finished in light gray. It's a commercial-duty enclosure, which is what you want behind an exit button at a loading dock, parking garage, or exterior door where a plastic box gets cracked. The zinc body also gives you a solid ground path back through the conduit.
5) Can I standardize on the 30203 across several buildings for exterior exit buttons?
It's built for that kind of fleet use. One part number, model 30203, single gang, surface mount, weatherproof, and it accepts any single gang plate, so you're not matching a different enclosure to each switch style across your properties. The light gray zinc finish is consistent from box to box.
