3. Use a carpenter’s level to verify that the FMS is level. If it is necessary to add or remove
fill for leveling, tamp any added fill to maintain the base stability.

Cable Conduit Installation
Select the conduit entrance holes (see
) for the OSP feeder and distribution cables. If
necessary, additional conduit entrance holes may be cut using a power drill and hole saw. Place
and route the conduit into the entrance hole(s). If preferred, the FMS may be installed without
conduit. OSP cables may be routed into the FMS at any point that is convenient. Cut the cable
entrance hole to match the size of the cable.
3.5
Grounding System Installation
Install a grounding system (not provided) that meets all local electrical codes. Check local codes
for grounding system installation, use of clamps, wire size, and any other grounding
requirements. Typically, #6 AWG copper wire is used for the grounding wire. Install the
grounding system inside the FMS where it will not interfere with the conduit or cables. Leave
sufficient slack in the grounding wire to allow it to be routed into the cabinet after the cabinet is
mounted on the sleeve.
3.6
Back Fill
If installing conduit, hand shovel stone aggregate under the conduit to avoid damage from the
power tamper. Complete the back fill as follows:
1. Add stone aggregate evenly around the FMS and tamp. Fill to approximately 6 inches
(15.2 cm) from the top of the excavation.
2. Complete the back-fill with crushed rock or topsoil depending on the landscaping
requirements. The top surface of the mounting sleeve may be located from 0 to 4 inches
(10.2 cm) above the surrounding grade (see
3.7
Mounting the Cabinet on the FMS
Use the 216B key tool to un-latch and latch the cabinet doors as needed during the mounting
process. Refer to
as necessary when mounting the cabinet.
Warning:
Use appropriate lifting equipment when moving or installing the cabinet. Do not
stand under a cabinet as it is being hoisted into position for mounting. A failure of the lifting
equipment could result in serious personal injury.
