Slide the thru-bolts with nonmetallic washers on them through the outside slots and holes of the mounting
bracket. Begin tightening the bolts into the mounting holes.

ROUNDING
Use the standard grounding procedure in
“Grounding a Pole Mounted Enclosure” on page 13
or use existing local
grounding practices to ground the enclosure. The HRE-454 requires a resistance of 25
Ω
or less to ground as
measured with a megger-type Ohmmeter.
Have the following equipment ready before you begin:
•
One bullet bond
•
One ground rod for pole or pedestal mounted enclosures (may require more than one rod)
•
One megger-type Ohmmeter
•
6 American Wire Gauge (AWG) cable
Grounding a Pole Mounted Enclosure
Use the following procedure to ground a pole-or pedestal-mounted enclosure (See
1
Bond the main cable shield through the splice case using bullet bond.
2
Drive the ground rod into the ground near the enclosure location.
The desiccant bags shipped with the unit must be activated prior to closing the lid. Do this by
removing the bags from their plastic container and placing them inside the enclosure.
The 8 MIL aluminum shield on the stub is connected to the card cage mounting brackets by a
braided shield ground wire shown in
. This wire connects the shield to the
enclosure ground lug. The wire may need to be temporarily removed from the enclosure ground
lug when troubleshooting ground faults. The wire can be removed by unscrewing the screws
that secure the braided shield ground wire to the card cage mounting bracket.
The braided shield ground wire should be reconnected to the card cage bracket after completing
the ground fault test. This insures that the stub’s shield is properly grounded which is required
to reduce the possibility of shield corrosion and lightning damage.
The screen divider on the stub is an insulated floating divider separating the Group 1 and
Group 2 pair. DO NOT GROUND THIS SCREEN DIVIDER. Doing so could result in degraded
performance.
