Alarm Controls 426 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Alarm Controls 426 back box used for?
The 426 is a recessed back box that mounts an Alarm Controls RP-1 or RP-3 narrow remote plate into a hollow wall. It gives the plate something solid to fasten to instead of relying on drywall, and it's made of galvanized cold rolled steel.
2) Do I need a back box for an RP-1 or RP-3 remote plate, or can I mount it straight to drywall?
You want the back box. The 426 is the recessed enclosure made specifically to secure the narrow RP-1 and RP-3 plates in hollow wall construction, so the plate and the switch behind it aren't hanging on drywall anchors in a wall people push on every day.
3) Will the Alarm Controls 426 back box fit a standard-size remote plate?
No. The 426 is sized for the narrow remote plates, the RP-1 and RP-3. If your plate is a wider single-gang or double-gang style, this box is the wrong enclosure for it.
4) I'm standardizing door release stations across a building. Do I order a 426 with every RP-1?
One 426 per remote plate location, wherever that plate lands in hollow wall. The box is ordered separately from the RP-1 or RP-3 plate, so on a rough-in package you're buying them in matched quantities. Openings where the plate mounts to an existing electrical box or solid surface won't need it.
5) Does the 426 come with the push button or switch, or is that separate?
The 426 is the enclosure only. It's a mounting and weatherproofing accessory, not a switch. You order the RP-1 or RP-3 remote plate, with whatever switch it carries, as a separate line item.
6) Is the 426 back box rated for commercial buildings?
It's a commercial-duty part. Alarm Controls lists the 426 as commercial, and the galvanized cold rolled steel construction is what you'd expect behind an access control release plate in an office, school, or healthcare corridor rather than a plastic residential ring.
7) Will a steel back box interfere with wiring the release station?
No. Galvanized cold rolled steel is standard practice for low-voltage access control rough-in and the 426 is built to house the narrow remote plate and its wiring in a hollow wall cavity. Follow your normal low-voltage separation practice as you would with any metal box.
