Mounting

The FRE-765 mounts on a pole or a wall. Follow local practices to ensure a secure mounting. Mount the FRE-765 
for easy access to the cable entry points on the bottom of the enclosure. Provide ample room to open the door 
completely.

For pole mounting the FRE-765, use the Pole Mounting kit, part number FMK 2397 List 1. Follow the instructions 
that are included to install the pole mounting bracket. Then mount the FRE-765 to the bracket. Do not install any 
cabling until the FRE-765 is securely mounted.

When required, install the grommet into the base of the FRE-765 (see 

Figure 2, “Installing the Grommet,” on page 

7

) prior to performing any wiring. 

Table 7, “Grommet Hole Diameters,” on page 7

 shows the wire gauges that you 

can install through the holes in the grommet):

1

Select only one concentric knockout hole on the FRE-765.

2

Remove the largest knockout so that the entire hole is open.

3

Install the grommet from the outside of the FRE-765. (Hint - Hold it at an angle to the hole and roll it into 
position.)

4

Ensure that the lip of the grommet rests on the bottom of the FRE-765 around the knockout hole.

5

Use an appropriate tool to open the required hole(s) in the bottom of the grommet.
