Installation Requirements
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS: Use good installation methods and follow local
ordinances for mounting cabinet.
Mounting on a Pole
The 2001-AC components are typically mounted on a pole. A typical installation showing
the relative location of the controller is illustrated in Figure 2. There are numerous
methods to use to mount the 2001-AC components. In all cases, the installation must be
rigid, secure, and free from physical shock or vibration.
Mount the Contactors Enclosure and Transformer/Rectifier separately. There are predrilled
mounting holes in each enclosure.
To attach the Contactors Enclosure and Transformer/Rectifier to the pole:
1. Use proper lifting equipment to lift the enclosures to the desired height along the
pole. Attach the Contactors to the pole at a height accessible to service personnel
but discourages vandalism.
2. Use the proper lifting equipment to hold the components against the pole. Using the
holes in each enclosure as a template, locate the holes on the pole.
Transformer/Rectifier
3. Transformer/Rectifier—Drill a 3/8-inch hole at all mounting locations. Drill each hole at
least 3-1/2 inches (90 mm) deep.
4. Attach the Transformer/Rectifier Enclosure to the pole; use a minimum of three
user-supplied 1/2 by 5 inch lag bolts. Slide a user-supplied 1/2-inch flat washer onto
each bolt before threading the bolt into the pole.
Contactor Enclosure
5. Contactor Enclosure—Attach the enclosure to the pole using four user-supplied 1/4 by
3 inch lag bolts. Be careful not to bend the enclosure around a small diameter pole.
6. Mount a user-supplied fused disconnect switch, per local and national electric codes,
on the pole beneath or opposite the Transformer/Rectifier assembly in line with the
primary AC service.
