6
Insert the anchor bolts into the two bottom holes located on the outside of the pivot mounting bracket and
begin tightening the bolts into the two bottom holes of the pivot mounting bracket.
7
Secure the pivot mounting bracket to the wall by tightening all anchor bolts.
8
Reattach the pivot mounting bracket to the enclosure base mounting brackets with the four sideplate bolts and
torque the mounting bracket bolts between 30 and 40 inch-pounds.

If the cable stub connects to an underground cable, dress the cable down the wall to the splice case. If the
cable stub connects to an aerial cable, form a drip loop in the cable and dress it up the wall to the splice case.
Rack Mounting
Use the procedure below when mounting the enclosure in a rack. Have the following equipment ready before you
begin this procedure:
•
Four

-inch thru-bolts for rack mounting
•
Four

/
8
-inch nonmetallic washers. Nonmetallic washers are required to avoid a ground loop that may result
if both the rack and the enclosure are grounded. ADC does not recommend using the rack ground for the
enclosure ground since the integrity of the rack ground is not 100 percent reliable.
•
One wrench
1
Select a convenient location on the cable rack.
2
Position the enclosure so the outside slots and holes in the mounting bracket align with the mounting holes in
the cable rack.
3
Slide the thru-bolts with nonmetallic washers through the outside slots and holes of the mounting bracket.
Begin tightening the bolts into the mounting holes.
4
Secure the enclosure to the rack by tightening the thru-bolts.
Because of the weight and size of the enclosure, you may want to remove the dome before
mounting the enclosure. The enclosure must be mounted vertically. A shady location is also
preferred to minimize thermal stress. Refer to
for thermal load capacity
information.
While mounting the enclosure, hold the enclosure securely to prevent personal injury or
damage to the enclosure.
The desiccant bags shipped with the units must be activated prior to closing the lid. Do this
by removing the bags from their plastic container and placing them inside the enclosure.
