Chapter 2 Installing the Tap Preparing for Installation Be aware of the following notes when installing the tap. The tap requires a surge protector device (SPD) or listed surge arrester as part of the installation to address transient overvoltage exceeding Overvoltage Category II, 2500 Vpk.
Preparing for Installation To Prepare the Connectors The tap requires KS-connectors for input and output connections. You must trim the pins to the correct length before inserting them into the housing. Follow these steps to prepare the connector. WARNING: Avoid electrical shock and damage to this product. If AC is present on the cable, take care to avoid electrocution or short circuits when cutting the cable.
Chapter 2 Installing the Tap Removing the Faceplate The complete FST with Power Distribution Port assembly consists of a housing and a faceplate. WARNING: When removing the faceplate with the feeder cables attached, take care to protect yourself from electrical shock and your equipment from damage. Certain components can deliver an electrical shock.
Removing the Faceplate To Remove a Faceplate with Feeder Cables Connected (Hot Install) Follow these steps to remove a faceplate with feeder cables already connected to the housing. Remove all coax drop cables from the drop port F-connectors. Using a 3/8-in. wrench, loosen all faceplate bolts. If the housing is installed on a strand, go to step 4.

Chapter 2 Installing the Tap Front View: Back View: Proceed to step 6. Pull the faceplate straight out from the housing. You need to use a small amount of force to pull the faceplate out. CAUTION: Handle the faceplate with care to avoid damage to the circuitry mounted to the rear of the faceplate.
Installing the Tap Housing on a Strand Installing the Tap Housing on a Strand The strand-mounted configuration has the feeder cable entering one side of the unit and exiting the other side. The unit has one strand clamp with a strand clamp bolt and uses a standard cable strand for mounting.
Page 32
Chapter 2 Installing the Tap Using a 3/16-in. hex-head driver or 3/16-in. straight blade screwdriver, loosen the two seizure screws inside the housing. Thread the prepared KS-connectors into the cable side entry port as shown in the figure above. Make sure to tighten the connector according to the manufacturer’s recommended torque specification, typically 15 ft-lb to 25 ft-lb (20.3 Nm to 33.9 Nm), but not to exceed 60 ft-lb (81.3 Nm).
Installing the Tap Housing in a Pedestal Installing the Tap Housing in a Pedestal The pedestal-mounted configuration has the feeder cable entering and exiting the unit from the bottom. The tap without traps or filters fits in a 6-in. round or square pedestal.

Chapter 2 Installing the Tap Using a 3/16-in. hex-head driver or a 3/16-in. straight blade screwdriver, loosen the two seizure screws inside the housing. Thread the prepared KS-connectors into the cable side entry port as shown in the figure above. Make sure to tighten the connector according to the manufacturer’s recommended torque specification, typically 15 ft-lb to 25 ft-lb (20.3 Nm to 33.9 Nm), but not to exceed 60 ft-lb (81.3 Nm).
Mounting the Faceplate Mounting the Faceplate After mounting the housing and connecting the feeder cables, you are ready to install the faceplate in the tap housing. To Mount the Faceplate Follow these steps to attach the faceplate to the housing. If the housing is installed on a strand, go to step 2.
