2.1 Site Preparation
2.1.1 Site considerations
The site for the collocated CE-G will be predetermined by
the location of the CE-X enclosure.
The site for the remotely located CE-G should be planned so
that the enclosure will receive good air flow. If possible, in areas
of extreme heat, the enclosure should be positioned so that it
will be shaded from the afternoon sun. In areas of prevailing
winds, the enclosure should be located so that the side of the
cabinet face into the direction of the prevailing wind. This will
greatly reduce the amount of wind borne matter (dirt, snow, and
debris) which may enter the enclosure through the louvers or
vents.
In areas of flooding, the geographical site and concrete pad
should be located above the flood plane.
Place the front of the enclosure facing the street, where
component access will be curbside. In most instances,
landscaping such trees, shrubs, or wooden fences serve to
provide a more acceptable appearance in keeping with
surrounding neighborhood designs.
The enclosure should be placed where it will be free of
obstructions.
