pin‐in‐hex wrench on the ‐NHE3G), open the large front
door of the Boxer 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 cabinet is typically mounted outdoors, above ground,
on an H‐frame, a wall, a concrete pad, a post, or a pole. Optional
mounting kits are available to support a round pole (from 8” to
20” in diameter) or a square pedestal or post (minimum 8”
wide). Concrete pad mounting is supported when used with the
optional Boxer battery box or skirt. All mounting hardware (not
provided) must be capable of supporting the weight of the Boxer
cabinet (approximately 70 pounds) plus the weight of any equip
ment mounted in it (up to 50 pounds). For convenience, lift
hooks or ears are provided. Run all cables to the mounting loca
tion, perform any trenching, trench cable placements, and
backfilling prior to the cabinet mounting, and clear the installa
tion area of any debris, vegetation, and unneeded equipment or
obstacles.
‐ KNOCK‐OUT REMOVAL NOTE ‐
Always remove knock‐outs where holes are desired before
mounting cabinet or securing the battery box, regardless of the
knock‐out type 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 0.58” knock‐outs,which are to be
knocked out from the outside of the cabinet.
‐ WEIGHT NOTE ‐
The Boxer cabinet weighs 70 pounds. The weight of the internal
equipment installed in the Boxer should not exceed 50 pounds.
The mounting surface, structure, and hardware must be able to
support the combined weight (120 pounds).
3.6.1
Mounting on an H‐Frame
Follow company practice or the steps below to mount the Boxer
cabinet on an H‐frame. See Figure 12 for an H‐frame mounting
drawing. If the installation includes the battery box, attach the
battery box and the H‐Frame mounting kit to the cabinet prior
to mounting to the H‐Frame.
1.
Determine exact mounting location in H‐frame.
Select and
mark the exact horizontal and vertical final mounting loca
tion within the H‐frame. The spacing between the top and
bottom horizontal‐rail mounting holes should be 25.2”.
Westell recommends a height of 30” from the ground. In
addition to leaving a comfortable installer working height,
leave adequate space under Boxer for cable access (or an op
tional battery box), as stated in Paragraph 3.3, as well as in
front of the Boxer to allow the door to open (see Figure 26),
and at the sides in the event of any multiple installations.
2.
Remove knock‐outs.
See the steps in Paragraph 3.5 (
Re
moving the Knock‐outs
) to remove the knock‐outs where
any cable access holes (or holes for mounting the optional
battery box) are desired.
3.
Prepare the mounting hardware.
Bring the appropriate
mounting hardware to the installation site. The hardware
must be able to support the weight of the cabinet plus the
weight of any internal equipment to be installed. Insert at
least three rail nuts into each rail (compress the spring on
the nuts as needed) and slide them over to the desired
mounting location.
4.
Lift cabinet.
Lift the cabinet to the mounting height. If us
ing lift equipment, use two cables or straps of equal length,
one connected to each lift ear, for a balanced symmetrical
lift. The lift ears are provided at the top of the cabinet, one
at each side wall, and each lift ear has a 2” hole in it.
5.
Attach cabinet to H‐frame rails.
Align the holes in the cabi
net's top mounting bracket with the holes in the inserted
rail nuts in the H‐frame rails, then insert and install an ap
propriate bolt through each set of aligned holes. Westell
recommends a minimum of 3 mounting bolts per mount
ing flange (top and bottom). Tighten hardware appro‐
priately. Repeat for the bottom mounting bracket and H‐
frame rail. Verify the cabinet is in the proper horizontal
position, make any needed adjustments, then securely
tighten all mounting hardware.
6.
Test installation firmness.
Test the installation by attempt
ing to move the cabinet. Correct any looseness, if detected.
Tighten all bolts again.
