6. INSTALLATION

6.3 Ground-mount Enclosure Installation (UPE and UPE/M)

UPE and UPE/M enclosures are designed to bolt directly to a Pedestal Support or

concrete pad. Four 1/2" holes are provided in the base of the enclosure to accommodate

3/8" Anchor or J-bolts. Secure the enclosure using a flat washer, lock washer and 3/8" nut

at each mounting bolt. Note: Enclosures must be mounted flush with a smooth surface

and not over-torqued to prevent damage. (Refer to the ground-mount drawings located at

the back of the manual).

6.3.1 Pedestal Support Preparation

(Refer to the pedestal support drawings located at the back of the manual).

Pedestal supports, available from Alpha, provide a quick, one-step solution for ground-

mount enclosure installations. Constructed of pre-formed, high density polyethylene, the

pedestal support eliminates the need for costly concrete work. The large body design

provides excellent "hand hole" working space, allowing room for cable bends, wire loops

and grounding connections. Pedestal supports are available for use with Alpha UPE and

UPE/M ground-mount enclosures. Installation is as easy as digging a hole to the appropri-

ate depth to accommodate the base of the pedestal support and backfilling using a suitable

material. See 1.3.2 below for recommended utility and Cable TV conduit placements.

6.3.2 Concrete Pad Preparation

(Refer to the ground-mount drawings located at the back of the manual).

UPE - Four 3/8" J-bolts should be centered with the pad 24" (side to side) and 10"

(front to back). From the front of the pad, service conduits should be placed with the

utility entrance left of the center line; Cable TV to the right. If required, an 8' dedi-

cated ground rod should be placed near the utility conduit.

UPE/M - Four 3/8" J-bolts should be centered with the pad 24" (side to side) and 14"

(front to back). Service conduits should enter the pad between the rear mounting

studs and 6" to either side of the pad's center line. From the front of the pad, Cable

TV conduit should be placed on the left; utility on the right. If required, an 8' dedi-

cated ground rod should be placed near the utility conduit.
