6. INSTALLATION

6.2 Pole-mount Enclosure Installation (PME and PWE)

PME and PWE enclosures are designed to be mounted on wooden poles; however,

special brackets are available for concrete pole applications. Mounting bolts should go

completely through the wooden pole and be secured from the back with a large washer and

nut. The two galvanized mounting brackets mount between the enclosure and pole. Most

codes require the base of the enclosure to be located a minimum height from the ground.

Always verify height restrictions before proceeding. (Refer to the pole-mount drawings

located at the back of the manual.)

NOTE: THE MAJORITY OF POLES ARE THE PROPERTY OF THE LOCAL UTILITY.

BEFORE INSTALLING AN ENCLOSURE, THE LOCATION AND THE METHOD OF

MOUNTING MUST BE APPROVED BY THE UTILITY.

Materials required:

Two (2) 5/8" dia. machine bolts (UNC thread) SAE Grade 5 or better, length to suit pole;

Two (2) 5/8" dia. zinc-plated flat washers;

Two (2) 5/8" dia. hex nuts (UNC thread).

Tools required:

Auger or drill for boring 3/4" dia. holes in the wooden pole;

Mallet or hammer;

Assorted sockets or wrenches.

Procedure:

1. Unpack the galvanized brackets and turn the enclosure face-down on a soft surface.

2. Slide one bracket up through the lower mounting strap on the rear of the enclosure.

The bracket’s flanges face away from the enclosure. Secure the lower mounting

bracket using the 3/8" x 3/4" hex bolt included with the enclosure.

3. Mark the position for the upper mounting bracket on the utility pole. Drill a 3/4" hole

completely through the pole. Secure the bracket with a 5/8" machine bolt, washer and

nut. Do not fully tighten the bolt at this time.

4. Position the enclosure on the upper mounting bracket. It may be necessary to slightly

rock the enclosure and pull downward to properly seat it on the bracket. Center the

enclosure on the pole.

5. Mark the hole for the lower mounting bracket. Lift the enclosure off of the top bracket

and drill the lower hole. Spacing between the holes should be 18.0" on center.

6. Slide the enclosure back into place over the top mounting bracket. Align the lower

bracket with the hole and secure it with a 5/8" machine bolt, washer and nut. Tighten

both brackets until the flanges dig into the wood approximately 1/4".

7. The enclosure is now ready for the utility connection, power module and batteries.
