1.1 Introduction
The Alpha UPE-M series of metered CATV power supply enclosures are a secure, ruggedly designed,
water-resistant enclosure with separate raceways for utility power and CATV wiring. The enclosure
is designed to meet code and safety standards specified by EUSERC and the NEC.
The utility meter compartment is isolated from the CATV compartment. Utility access doors contain
padlock hasps with separate sealing screws. A small hole is provided in each screw and hasp to
accommodate a lead wire seal. The CATV doors have flush-mounted key locks installed.
The utility meter compartment contains a hinged, lockable, Lexan window for meter reading. The
utility meter can be accessed by lifting the hinged door.
The standard UPE-M enclosure has a fault current interrupt rating of 10,000A. A 65,000A version is
also available.
There are three basic models in the UPE-M series, available in both 10KAIR and 65KAIR

XM2-1350 power supplies with 36V inverters. The UPE-M8 model is designed for the XM2-1350,
