Accessories

SS3 Backplate Extender
SS3 Backplate Extender Extended convenience
The aesthetically designed Reliable Controls SPACE-Sensor Temperature (SST3) series and SMART-Sensor (SS3) series can be mounted to an extender plate (SS3-EP) to avoid drilling holes in a wall. The backplate extender displaces the sensor off the wall so that it avoids a hole being made for connectors on the SST3 and SS3.
SS3 Deep Backplate
SS3 Deep Backplate Backplate Extender
The SS3 Deep Backplate is an accessory for SMART-Sensor™ and SPACE-Sensor™ Temperature devices that facilitates surface mounting without the need to cut an opening in the wall. The SS3 Deep Backplate is ideal for gas-sensing models and for installations on concrete or other solid surfaces. Designed to fit and cover single-device electrical boxes.
