NOTE - The splice and wire nut must be completely immersed into the
silicon gel inside the splice tube to be waterproof.
4 . 1.3 Enclosure Installation
1. Mount and ground the enclosure on the Tower as shown in Figure
18.
2. Remove the front lid. Remove the connector cover from the back
of the ET enclosure by loosening the Phillips screw at the bottom of
the cover.
3. Loosen the mounting bracket bolts on the back of the enclosure
wide enough to slide over the pole. Slide the enclosure over the
pole. Position the enclosure so it faces east for northern latitudes
or west for southern latitudes. The top of the enclosure should be
3/4” to 1” (2 – 2.5 cm) above the top of the pole (see Figure 19).
4. Carefully mount the lightning rod clamp to the top of the pole (see
Figure 20). Position the clamp so it won’t interfere with the
connector cover.
5. Insert the lightning rod into the clamp opening closest to the
enclosure. The milled flat side of the lightning rod should face the
clamping screw. Tighten the screw to hold the rod firmly in place.
6. Strip 1” (2.54 cm) from the top of the main green 10 AWG tower
ground wire. Insert the exposed wire into the empty clamp
opening. Do not tighten the screw at this time (see Figure 21)
7. Strip 1” (2.54 cm) from both ends of the 9” (23 cm) piece of 10
AWG green ground wire. Insert one end into the brass ground lug
located at the top back of the enclosure. Put the other end in the
same clamp opening as the main grounding wire and tighten down
the screw (see Figure 22).
