you will have to improvise....find one for structured cabling
at your local electrical supplier and use double sided tape to mount the
board of the 8-32 to it.

I wouldn't recomend using tape to mount the board, either use the concourse
or another brand that has mounting kits for the DSC board. If you have to
use a brand that has no provision for the DSC panel, then drill the back of
the panel and use the stand offs that come with the DSC board..

I use OpenHouse swbs a lot and which I could find something lilke this for
other products (I don't do dsc).

OnQ makes mounting plates for several other alarm brands. AFAIK, they
all fit ChannelPlus. Check with ChannelPlus tech support first. IIRC,
the number is 800-999-5225.

Sure I have! But you have to get the rest of the panel to look just right
too. First strip off all of the outer jackets on all the wires to make
certain absloutely nothing has a label. Braid wires from one bundle to
another bundle at random. Then strip back the insulation off the first
3"-6" so you can short any wire you want with any other wire. If it is
solid core wire nick the wire when you strip it, so it snaps the next time
it is touched, or better that it snaps all by itself for a good source of
service call billing in future. If it is stranded wire make sure only a
single strand out of the bundle is actually connected under the terminal
strip. Leave all the other strands free and frayed. Next run wires thru
the can that don't actually land there, putting 120VAC on a zip wire and
putting the transformer in there to warm things up helps. Make certain
there are several extra sets of pull wires in the can that go nowhere.
Have wires that are so tight you can play musical notes on them mixed with
wires that fall out on the floor when the panel is open. Don't clean up
the area. Put all the pieces of wire and jacket etc. in the box just to
let someone know you've been there. Use bare 4 guage wire and ground the
panel to a gas pipe, and tie strap the wire to a fire sprinkler pipe along
the way if you can. If that is not available just ground the panel with
the neutral from the 120VAC zip wire. Make sure that there is so much crap
in the box it takes the weight of two guys pushing and a third guy with a
screwdriver to close the box. Don't forget to staple all of the
instructions on the wall next to the panel, page by page, when complete.
Be proud of your work and take pictures to show your boss.

Amen. I have some new standoff on order now that fit the board and have the
mounting tape bases on them. I ordered some to try and liked them though
the first i ordered were too big for the board holes. oops! try again.

here ;>>>>>>>>>>

You use the standoffs with the sticky tape? You may as well use the double
sided stuff. You'll wind up with the same thing in about six months: a
loose board inside the enclosure that's hanging by the wires. Hopefully
nothing will short out against the can when it does come loose.

Don't you use double side tape, on contacts and other small devices? a small
expander board weighs next to nothing, and using the sticky pads correctly
should not cause any problems. i have not had any fall off , yet. i follow
the same steps as i would for magnetic contacts. start with a CLEAN, DRY
surface.

Double sided tape has no place in my van. I wouldn't use it on an expander
board, power supply, or any other kind of powered device. I've seen way to
many "hatchet jobs" where the boards are hanging by the wires and one in
particular where the fins on a heat sink actually shorted out the
mother-board on an Edwards ESA-2000 panel. That cost the customer big
bucks. As for "contacts", if you mean the small mini-surface type, we don't
use them. On the rare occasion where we have to install a surface contact
(commercial card access jobs), it's always securely fastened into place with
screws. We mostly use concealed contacts or they're integral to the
magnetic door lock.

I hope you use candy wrappers in between coffee layers. it really helps bind
everything togther.

Nothing short of an alien life form would grow on the floor of my van, trust
me on that. But I do appreciate the offer

That most of been quite disappointing, to have an almost brand spanking new
van barely off the showroom floor and then have some clown write it off.
