conductors shall be connected to the power supply through an appropriate service entrance
equipment.
Permission to mount the UPS on the utility pole shall be gained in accordance with
agreements between the cable company and the utility company.
A bucket truck and other suitable equipment, including climbing spikes and safety harness
will be required.
General Installation Procedure: Pole Mounted Cabinet
1. Using the pole mount “U” bracket as a template, drill 2 holes completely through the pole.
The diameter of the hole will depend on the hardware used, but should be slightly oversized
to allow for hole drift and bracket alignment. The “U” bracket will accommodate bolts up to
5/8-inch in diameter.
2. Observe the location of the retaining hardware to lock the “U” bracket to the cabinet back.
The holes must line up to allow the locking bolt to pass through the pole “U” bracket and
cabinet bracket to prevent the cabinet from being catastrophically dislodged from the pole if
it is struck.
3. Mount the “U” bracket to the pole using appropriate mounting hardware and through-bolts.
4. Tighten the through-bolts securely but not so snugly as to deform the “U” bracket. If the “U”
bracket is deformed, it will be impossible to engage the mating bracket on the back of the
cabinet.
5. Slide the locking bolt through the “U” bracket and the mating bracket on the rear of the
cabinet. Install the nut and tighten securely. This bolt is important since it prevents the
cabinet from being dislodged from the pole if a vehicle or other massive object impacts the
base of the pole.
6. Run necessary electrical wiring to the service entrance box on the enclosure. Observe all
national and local electrical codes. A licensed electrician must perform this step, and the
proper authorities must inspect the resulting work.
7. Connect the CATV power feed coax to the output fitting on the cabinet. In some cases it will
be necessary to terminate the coax with a pin type connector with the “stinger” (inner
conductor of the hard line) trimmed to ½- inch beyond the threaded portion of the connector
body. A right angle connector may be required, depending on specific installation
conditions at the site.
8. Recheck all mounting hardware for tightness and integrity. Recheck all wiring.
9. Install the power supply and batteries in the cabinet as outlined in this manual.
