2.0 Installation, continued
2.2 Steel/Concrete Pole Installation
Never transport the unit with batteries installed. Batteries must ONLY be installed after the unit
is installed. Transporting the unit with batteries installed may cause injury to installer and/or
damage to enclosure and installed equipment.
Alpha recommends positioning enclosure on the opposite side of the pole from oncoming traffic. This can reduce
the danger caused by falling equipment in the event that a pole is struck by an automobile.
The majority of poles are the property of the local Utility. Before installing an enclosure, the location and method
of mounting must be approved by the Utility.
Materials required: (customer supplied)
Two (2) pole straps to fit pole (straps must be stainless, galvanized or equivalent).
Tools required: (customer supplied)
Assorted sockets or wrenches
Procedure:
1. Unpack the enclosure and galvanized brackets; turn the enclosure facedown on a soft
surface.
2. Slide a bracket up through the enclosure’s lower mounting strap(s). The bracket’s flanges
must face away from the enclosure. Secure the lower mounting bracket(s)
using the 3/8" x 3/4" hex bolt included.
3. Position the upper mounting bracket on the pole and secure using a pole strap.
4. Lift the enclosure onto the upper mounting bracket and pull downward to properly seat it.
Center the enclosure on the pole.
5. Secure the lower mounting brackets on the pole using a pole strap. Spacing between
mounting straps for enclosure is as follows:
