4. Storage and Transportation
The shipping container and its contents must be stored
indoors in a vertical position in the original packaging. A
forklift or handtruck capable of lifting approximately 150
pounds is required to unload or transport the product in
its shipping container prior to unpacking. Observe all local
safety precautions when moving the container. Do not
double-stack shipping containers.
5. Unpackaging the Enclosure and
Components
Step 1:
Place the container near the site prepared
for installation of the enclosure. Remove the
installation instruction.
Step 2:
Remove the shrinkwrapping from around the
enclosure (Figure 3).
Step 3:
Cut the bands holding the enclosure to the pallet.
Step 4:
Ensure that a lifting device, such as a hoist or crane, capable of lifting at least 150
pounds (largest enclosure’s weight) is available to lift the enclosure into position.
WARNING:
Only certified operators should operate the crane. Ensure that the stabilizers are
extended and firmly positioned before Lifting. Avoid overhead obstructions or power lines
when lifting.
WARNING:
The enclosure is heavy and requires two people to maneuver it. Observe all safety
precautions while using Make sure the door is locked in the closed position. Failure to do so
may result in personal injury or damage to the enclosure or cables.
CAUTION:
Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces.
Consult the cable specification sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the cable
more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pulling force
to the cable than specified. Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause
damage that can alter the transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be
replaced.
Step 5:
If the unit shipped with cables preinstalled, clip
the ties from the cables. Roll out the cables
when removing them from the packaging to
avoid putting twists into the cable. Then loop
the cables in a “Figure-8” pattern next to the
mounting location as shown in Figure 4 before
placing the unit.
