teries mounted in them. A one‐man lift and mounting is
possible, however, always mount the cabinet per company prac
tice.
Run all cables to the mounting location, and perform any
trenching, trench cable placements, and backfilling prior to mount
ing the cabinet.
3.3.2
Mount Boxer in a location with an adequate earth
ground and power access, with unobstructed cabinet access, and
which insures the best lighting, ventilation, heat dissipation, and
equipment access. Verify sufficient space exists to remove the
door panels, to access and mount the cabinet, and to adequately
install, access, prepare, and dress all cables and batteries. Ade
quate horizontal and vertical space should be be left between
any multiple installations to allow for cabinet opening, panel re
moval, equipment access, and cable routings and preparations.
Follow company practice for the proper distance from the cable
entry point or from upstream or downstream equipment.

‐ BATTERY NOTE ‐
Always install batteries after the battery box is mounted.
‐ WEIGHT NOTE ‐
The mounting surface, structure, and hardware must be able to
support the cabinet and the weight of the combined Boxer system
(cabinets and equipment mounted in them). The total Boxer bat
tery box weight is 50 pounds: 15 pounds (empty battery box) plus
35 pounds of batteries installed in it (max). Depending upon the
specific boxer model used, the Boxer cabinet weight, including
equipment, may be up to 47 pounds (max). Thus, the maximum
combined equipment and Boxer system weight is 97 pounds.
3.5
Installing the Battery Box
The battery box is attached to the bottom of a Boxer cabinet,
then the conjoined units are typically mounted on either a wall,
an H‐frame, or pole (with an optional pole‐mount kit). See the
joined units in Figure 10. Hardware to secure the two cabinets
together is included. For any mounting type, prepare the site by
verifying all ground, power, and communications cables are
present at or near the installation site.
3.5.1
Removing Knock‐outs in the Top Cabinet
Regardless of the mounting type, prior to mounting and joining
the cabinets together, remove knock‐outs where communica
tion, power, and ground cable access holes will be needed in the
main Boxer cabinet to be installed above the battery box.
There are four 0.30” diameter knock‐outs in the floor of the
Boxer cabinet where the battery box attaches to the cabinet
(hole patterns of both units match). Remove these small
knock‐outs (see Paragraph 3.5.1 and the
KNOCK‐OUT NOTE
therein
)
prior to joining and mounting the cabinets. Verify all
other needed knock‐outs are removed in the cabinet where
cable access holes will be desired, including the knock‐out for
the battery cable, if not already removed.
‐ KNOCK‐OUT REMOVAL NOTE ‐
Always remove knock‐outs (in the Boxer cabinet mounted
above the battery box) where holes are desired before mounting
the battery box or cabinet, regardless of the type of knock‐out and
regardless of the order of the mounting steps. All knock‐outs
should be knocked out from the inside of the cabinet, except for
the small 0.3” knock‐outs (which should be knocked out from
the outside of the cabinet) or the concentric knock‐outs.
3.5.2
Install Fittings/Adapters/Grommets in Holes
After removing the knock‐outs and before joining the cabinets, for
best maneuverability and access, install any company approved and
field‐provided grommets or hardware such as conduit fittings, ad
apters, couplers, etc., in any cable access knock‐out holes.
3.5.3
Joining the Boxer Cabinet and the Battery Box
Regardless of the mounting type, attach the main Boxer cabi
net to the battery box prior to mounting or installing the
conjoined units. To join the units, follow the steps below:
1.
Open and prepare both Boxer units.
Open the door of the
main Boxer cabinet and open and remove the door panel
of the battery box for easier handling and mounting hole
access.
