Outdoor Pole Mounting
Outdoor mounting (Figure 3) requires that PC
board, chassis, and power cord be removed to
facilitate attachment to pole. PC board and
chassis are reattached once box is secured.
Note:
Pole Mount Kit RHOPM, supplied with the
pole mount structure, includes straps sufficient for
10–30.5cm (4–12in) wide poles. For larger widths,
order an additional kit.

1. On the ground:
a. Remove PC board assembly and chassis
assembly from box (Figure 4a).
b. Remove power cord and attach conduit to
box. Ensure connections are liquid-tight.
c. Remove racks, screw assemblies, and band
from clamp package. Carefully uncoil band
and cut it in half to form two bands.
d. With words “this side up” etched in rack
facing up, insert rack into screw assembly
(Figure 4b). Then turn screw just enough to
engage rack. Prepare two racks this way.
2. As shown in Figure 4c, with J-box on ground
and its rear facing towards you:
a. Slip one of the two bands through closed
slots in lower mounting bracket. Pick slots
appropriate for the width of the pole.
b. Bend end of left side of band inward.
c. Slip bent end through large slot in screw
assembly and flatten tight with fingers.
d. Repeat for upper mounting bracket.
3. Place box in its mounting location against pole.
Then wrap both band assemblies around pole
so screws are opposite J-box.
4. Holding J-box in place, perform the following
for each band:
a. Cut band to length at a point 2.54cm (1in)
beyond first notch in band (Figure 4d).
b. Using your fingers, flatten the last 2.54cm
(1in) of band inward to form a hook. Insert
hook through remaining slot in rack and turn
screw to secure J-box to pole (Figure 4e).
5. Run cables and attach wires. See “Connecting
AC Power” and “Connecting Power and Data
Cables”.
Caution:
Do not use power cord
supplied with box for outdoor installations.
