3.3
Selecting and Preparing the Mounting Type
and Site
(Pre-Mounting Considerations)
3.3.1
The Boxer battery box is mounted below a Boxer cabi-
net (typically outdoors) and on top of a concrete pad. The
mounting surface as well as the hardware used all must be capa-
ble of supporting the weight of the both the battery box, the
cabinets mounted above the box, as well as the weight of any
equipment in the cabinets and the batteries mounted in the bat-
tery box.
Run all cables to the mounting location, perform all
trenching, trench cable placements, and backfilling, and install
any concrete pads, prior to installing the battery box and mounting
the cabinets to the battery box.
3.3.2
Mount Boxer in a location with an adequate earth
ground and power access, with unobstructed cabinet access,
and which insures the best lighting, ventilation, heat dissipa-
tion, and equipment access. Verify sufficient space exists to
remove the door panels, to access and mount the cabinet, and
to adequately install, access, prepare, and dress all cables and
batteries. Adequate horizontal and vertical space should be be
left between any multiple installations to allow for cabinet
opening, panel removal, equipment access, and cable routings
and preparations. Follow company practice for the proper dis-
tance from the cable entry point or from upstream or
downstream equipment.

- HEATER PAD NOTE -
The BXB19-D battery box does not include a heater pad. See
Table 2 for ordering information for an optional heater pad.
- BATTERY NOTE -
Always install batteries after the battery box is mounted.
- WEIGHT NOTE -
The mounting surface, structure, and hardware must be able to
support the cabinet and the weight of the combined Boxer system
(cabinets and equipment mounted in them).
The total Boxer battery box weight is 280 pounds: 30 pounds
(empty battery box) plus 250 pounds of batteries installed in it
(max).
3.5
Installing the Battery Box
The battery box is attached to the bottom of the Boxer equip-
ment cabinet and the side car cabinet, then the conjoined units
are typically mounted on a concrete pad (see joined units in
Figure 8). Hardware to secure the cabinets together and to the
battery box is included. Prepare the site by verifying all ground,
power, and communications cables are present at or near the
installation site.
3.5.1
Removing Knock-outs in the Top Cabinets
Regardless of the mounting type, prior to mounting and joining
the cabinets together, remove knock-outs where access holes
will be needed in the boxer cabinet which will be installed above
the battery box.
There are five 0.575" diameter knock-outs in the floor of the
Boxer equipment cabinet and side car cabinet where the bat-
tery box attaches to the cabinet (hole-center patterns of both
units match). Remove these small knock-outs (see Paragraph
3.5.1 and the
KNOCK-OUT NOTE
therein
)
prior to joining and
mounting the cabinets. Verify all other needed knock-outs are
removed in the cabinet where cable access holes will be desired,
including the knock-out for the battery cable, if not already re-
moved.
