Have a second installer turn on the shop vacuum and place the nozzle near the hole to collect dust and
debris (see Figure 2-2). This will extend the life of the drill bit, and give you a better idea of how deep
the hole is. Wrapping a piece of electrical tape around the drill bit to indicate the desired depth is
suggested.

Repeat Step 3 and 4 for all remaining holes to be drilled for this cabinet.
6
Clean all holes by using the shop vacuum in conjunction with the air compressor gun attachment.
Begin by using short bursts of air several inches away from the hole, gradually decreasing the distance
from the hole while increasing the duration of the air bursts until the hole is completely free of loose
material.
Rooftop
Roof load carrying limits must be reviewed and an
appropriate support structure must be installed to support
the RF and Power Cabinet as required.
WARNING
The cabinet must be elevated sufficiently above the roof
surface to prevent water from puddling around its base.
Although the cabinets are well insulated from the
environment they will not tolerate submersion.
CAUTION
