Preparing the enclosures for installation
Preparing the equipment before mounting it to the wall facilitates manipulation and ensures all parts are
ready to be installed.
Before You Begin
NOTE: The rigid conduits use is allowed. The use of rigid conduits is allowed up to 1 inch (25.4mm) for
the EDGE Bird Scale.
1. With the enclosure closed, drill a hole the size of the your cable connectors or your rigid conduits at
the bottom of the enclosure.
2. Open the enclosure by unscrewing the top, and remove the plastic fragments.
3. Install the cable connectors or rigid conduit adaptors to the bottom of each enclosure.
4. Close the enclosure using the screws.
IMPORTANT: Leave the rated clearance to allow the cover to be removed for maintenance
Remember
Do not mount the enclosures directly onto the drywall. If the supporting structure behind the drywall
cannot support the enclosure, solidify it by adding a wooden or metal frame.
Mounting the enclosures
Securely mounting the enclosure to the wall in the ideal location allows for an optimal use of the system.
Before You Begin
NOTICE
When using outdoor connections, mount the enclosure as close as possible to the
entry point of the wiring
IMPORTANT: Mount the system into a wooden or metal frame. Do not mount the system directly into the
drywall
