Step 1:
Step 2:
Installing an EXM (and Riser) on a Concrete Pad
Note:
Install the base FAC 900 cabinet before installing an Expansion Module (EXM).
Clearfield offers several models of optional risers for use with the EXM when installing an FAC 900 cabinet with a riser. The
riser height must match the height of the riser installed for the FAC 900. The riser ships detached from the EXM, even when
ordered as a factory option.
The EXM's compact design allows you to install it without the use of heavy lifting machinery. Clearfield recommends using
two people to install the EXM (to lift, move, and lower the EXM onto the pad).
If the required manpower is not available, or local practice requires the use of a lifting device, the EXM is equipped with two
lifting details on which to attach slings to lift and move the EXM 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 EXM, follow these guidelines:
•
Check the two lifting details on top of the EXM to ensure that they are securely attached.
•
Attach the lifting slings to the lifting device; attach the other sling ends to the EXM lifting details with connecting links or
hooks.
•
Do not disconnect the slings from the EXM until after it rests securely on the pad.
ALERT!
Isolation mat usage is mandatory for concrete pad installations. Failure to use the supplied isolation
mat can accelerate cabinet corrosion and may void the Clearfield EXM warranty.
CAUTION!
Installing the EXM requires safe handling to ensure that no injury to personnel or damage to the
EXM occurs. Do not place any part of your body under the load during lifting. Follow local safety practices for
lifting and moving heavy loads.
Before installing the EXM, identify your
cabinet configuration
(in-line or L-configuration).
To install the EXM on a concrete pad
Sweep the pad free of dirt and debris.
Prepare for mounting the EXM on the FAC 900 cabinet:
a.
Depending on your cabinet configuration (in-line or L-configuration), remove either the rear or side access
panel from the FAC 900. From outside the FAC 900 compartment, use a 5/32 hex security driver to remove the
eight tamper resistant screws anchoring each panel to the compartment wall.
b.
Repeat step 2a to remove the side access panel on the EXM. Retain all access panel hardware.
c.
Remove or lock the EXM door in the open position (wind brace engaged).
