Switch Installation
Follow these steps when installing the Scada-Mate SD
switch:
STEP 5.
Handle and lift the switch per the “Handling”
section on page 7. When the switch is hoisted to
mounting level, guide the switch so the through-
bolts projecting from the utility pole slip into the
holes in the pole-saddle. The saddle has a keyhole
and an open slotted hole for this purpose. Lower
the switch slightly so it bears on the through-
bolts. Fully tighten the through-bolts, making
sure the fl at washer for each bolt is between the
bolt head and the pole-saddle. See Figures 4
and 5.
NOTICE
Do not lift the switch by rigging on the
switch pole bases, the interrupters, the
sensors, or the interrupter OPEN/CLOSE
indicator . Damage to the switch may result .
CAUTION
Do not use the lifting bracket to lift the crated
switch from the truck or other conveyance .
The lifting bracket will
ONLY hold the weight
of the switch and will
NOT hold the weight of
associated packing materials .
Failure to uncrate the switch before
lifting may cause damage to the switch or
personal injury.

band and J-bolts:

tightened, remove the hoisting sling from the
lifting bracket. Push the lifting bracket
