Alpha Technologies Undermount PWE Series - Manual

The Undermount Battery Expansion Enclosure (UBE) increases capacity of PWE Series enclosures, providing space for
three additional batteries. The UBE-PWE easily and quickly attaches below an existing PWE-3 pole-mounted enclosure.
Tools and materials:
A. Mounting the UBE to the Existing Enclosure
Follow these steps to mount the UBE to the existing enclosure. See
Section B for separate bracket mounting instructions for wood, concrete or
steel, or wall mounted enclosures.
Remove the door from the existing unit. This door will be replaced by
the new door.
Use the templates provided to mark the drill holes. Carefully align the
appropriate template with the corresponding front and bottom side
edge of the existing enclosure and tape in place.

Fig. 2, Position UBE
Drill with 17/64", 13/64", and 3/4" bits • Tape for positioning template •
Rubber mallet • Four #10-32 x 3/4" pan head screws, washers, KEPS nuts
(provided)
•
Center punch • Two 7/16" wrenchs •
#2 Phillips screw driver • Two 1/4"-20 KEPS Nuts (provided) •
After confi rming the position of the template, use a center punch to mark
the drill locations. Repeat for the other side. See Fig. 1
Using a drill with a 13/64" bit, drill two holes through the marked drill
locations on each side of the UBE. With the 17/64" bit, drill or enlarge each
center hole. There should now be three holes on each side of the existing
enclosure.
Position the right side of the UBE inside the bottom lip of the PWE. Insert
the stud, located at the top edge of the UBE, into the 17/64" drilled hole.
You can use your rubber mallet to aid in positioning the unit. See Figs. 2
and 3.
