Installing the Cabinet on a Pole: Local Power with 60 Ah Battery Base(s)
The FAC 400 cabinet’s compact design allows you to install it without the use of heavy lifting machinery. Clearfield
recommends using two people to install the cabinet (to lift, move, and lower the cabinet onto the pole-mount fixture).
If the required manpower is not available, or local practice requires the use of a lifting device, the cabinet is equipped with
two lifting details on which to attach slings to lift and move the cabinet using a boom crane, derrick, or backhoe. Use wire
rope slings and appropriately rated connecting links or lifting hooks. The lifting device and slings you use must be capable of
lifting at least a 200 lb. working load. When using a lifting device to place the cabinet, follow these guidelines:
• Check the two lifting details on top of the cabinet to ensure that they are securely attached.
• Attach the lifting slings to the lifting device; attach the other sling ends to the cabinet lifting details with connecting links
or hooks.
•
Do not disconnect the slings from the cabinet until after it rests securely on the fixture.
CAUTION!
Installing the cabinet requires safe handling to ensure that no injury to personnel or damage to the
cabinet occurs. Do not place any part of your body under the load during lifting. Follow local safety practices for
lifting and moving heavy loads.
ALERT!
Isolation mat usage is required. Failure to use the supplied isolation mat can accelerate cabinet
corrosion and may void the Clearfield cabinet warranty.
Before installing the cabinet, verify that the doors have been removed or are locked in the open position (wind brace
engaged), and the battery compartment door has been removed.
Install the pole-mount fixture’s top bracket on the cabinet before installing the cabinet on the pole.
Note:
If you are installing the optional battery compartment riser to support a second 60 Ah battery string, install the riser
onto the pole/wall mount base platform first, and then mount the cabinet (with battery compartment) onto the riser. For
detailed instructions on installing the cabinet onto the riser, see Installing a 60 Ah Battery Compartment Riser.
