  • Page 17: Installing The Prepared Enclosure

    Installation Procedures The following procedure describes the steps to install the prepared enclosure outside. Installing the Prepared Enclosure The following procedure assumes that you are installing the enclosure on a pole.  If you are installing the enclosure on a wall, use the holes on the top and bottom extensions of the  enclosure to bolt the enclosure to the wall and proceed with Step 3 below. To install the prepared enclosure: If you will install the enclosure on a pole, open the pole mount kit box. Attach the pole mount  brackets to the top and bottom of the enclosure using the four bolts, nuts, and washers  included with the pole mount kit, as shown in Figure 2‐4 below. Set aside the two U bolts and  remaining washers and nuts for use in the next step. Figure 2-4 Attaching Pole Mount Brackets Bolts (4) Bracket (2) Washers (8) Nuts (4) Enclosure hole for bracket attachment (4) Place the enclosure on the pole in the desired location and orientation, then slip the two U  bolts around the pole and into the holes on the top and bottom brackets. Use the remaining  four washers and nuts to tighten the U bolts to hold the enclosure securely on the pole, as  shown in Figure 2‐5 on page 2‐6.
