The flush alarm is designed around a standard \u003cstrong\u003e4-inch × 4-inch double switch\/outlet box\u003c\/strong\u003e; adapter-plate preparation depends on the older EA-2500F installation. \u003cstrong\u003eThe standard non-kit EAX-2500F\/C does not include a transformer or magnetic door contact\u003c\/strong\u003e unless expressly supplied in a custom factory package.
