Installing the Enclosure(s) on a Wall or H-Frame
The FAC 900 cabinet and EXM are equipped with four lifting details on which to attach slings to lift and move the enclosure
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.
Clearfield recommends using at least three people to install the cabinet and EXM: one to operate the crane or derrick, one
to guide the enclosure(s) laterally as it lowers, and one to spot-check alignment of the mounting studs/holes and conduits/
entry box as the enclosure lowers.
CAUTION!
Installing the cabinet or EXM 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.
Before installing the cabinet and EXM, verify that the door(s) has been removed or locked in the open position (wind brace
engaged).
To install the enclosure(s) on a wall mount or H-frame
Check the two lifting details on top of the FAC 900 to ensure that they are securely attached.
Attach the lifting slings to the lifting device; attach the other sling ends to the enclosure lifting details with con-
necting links or hooks.
Lift the FAC 900 at least 12 inches higher than—and position it directly above—the (2) mounting brackets
intended for the cabinet.
Slowly lower the FAC 900 onto the mounting brackets, keeping the holes in the cabinet base aligned with the
mounting holes in the mounting brackets.
Note:
If properly aligned, the entry duct in the cabinet should slide down over the conduits protruding up from
the conduit assembly as the cabinet lowers. If necessary, reach down through the entry duct to grasp and align
the conduit to guide it through the entry duct. Do not reach under the cabinet.
Pull the earth ground wire into the compartment through the cable entry box.
Before removing the lifting device, from inside the FAC 900, loosely install (2) 1/2"-13 x 1.25" hex screws
through holes at each end of the cabinet base and the counterpart holes in the mounting brackets to prevent
the cabinet from slipping off the brackets.
Remove the lifting device from the FAC 900.
