QUICK START GUIDE
Step 1 - Mount unit to pole
Caution:
Use safe lifting practices. Lifting devices are recommended. Steel toed shoes required. The weight of the
unit is 18.0 lbs. and the mounting straps and pole must support 3 times the weight of the unit.
When choosing a location, please keep in mind:
i)
The unit must be mounted in "portrait" orientation so that air can flow vertically by natural convection.
ii)
Leave at least 3 inches above and below the unit to allow air to feed the fins and exit from the fins.
iii)
Mount the unit above the flood line. Note: the unit has weep holes at the bottom to equalize pressure
and drain any water/condensate that may enter.
iv)
Orient the wiring entrance toward the ground and provide drip loops to shed any water running down
the jacket.
Pole Locations
1.
Remove the unit from the packaging
2. Select an elevation and orientation on the pole.
Note: Wires must dress out of the bottom of the unit when installed.
Note: If the rectifier is being mounted overhead (or above 10 ft.) use a hoist and harness to reduce the chance of
serious injury. The recommended harness is approximately a 25 inch loop of 2.5mm diameter Samson
Amsteel Blue Dyneema, or equivalent. This loop is made by taking a 55 inch length and joining the ends
together via an appropriate knot (Figure 3 or water knot are two suggestions) as shown in the view below.
3. Use ¾" inch wide straps to mount the unit to the pole approximately as show in view to the right.
