3.3
Selecting and Preparing the Mounting Type
and Site
(Pre‐Mounting Considerations)
Mount the cabinet 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 equip
ment access. Verify sufficient space exists to allow the opening
of the left‐hinged large door, to access and mount the cabinet,
to mount and access the optional battery box if it will be mounted
below it, and to adequately access, prepare, and dress all cables.
Adequate horizontal and vertical space should be be left be
tween any multiple installations to allow for cabinet opening,
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.

Removing the Knock‐outs
Knock‐outs should be removed prior to mounting the cabinet.
See Figure 9 or Table 1 for knock‐out sizes, quantities, and loca
tions, and follow the steps below to remove the knock‐outs.
1.
Open the cabinet door.
If knock‐outs will need to be re
moved, using a 216 tool or can wrench, open the large front
door of the Boxer‐16 cabinet to access the knock‐outs.
2.
Remove knock‐out(s).
Prior to mounting the cabinet, per
company practice, remove as many appropriately‐sized
knock‐outs at the bottom of the cabinet as needed for the
specific application (consider ground, power, and com
munication cable access needs, venting, and whether
optionally mounting a battery box with the cabinet).
3.
Install rubber grommets or conduit fittings.
Install either
a heavy‐duty rubber grommet or the conduit fitting of
choice (liquid‐tight recommended) in each selected
knock‐out hole. If an optional vent is desired, the provided
vent cap can be installed in one of the smaller knock‐outs.
4.
Close the cabinet door.
Once the knock‐outs are removed,
lock the door using the 216 tool or can wrench, to minimize
possible product damage and personal injury.
3.6
Mounting the Cabinet
The Boxer‐16 cabinet is typically mounted outdoors, above
ground, on an H‐frame, a wall, post, a concrete pad, or a pole.
An optional mounting kit is available to support pole mounting
(from 8” to 20” in diameter). Concrete pad mounting is typically
used when used with an optional Boxer battery box or skirt. An
optional pad mount template kit is available for easy and conve
nient cement anchor placement. All mounting hardware (not
provided) must be capable of supporting the weight of the Box
