2 BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION

This section provides general installation considerations, unpacking and inspection procedures, and lists the tools and materia ls required for cabinet installation.

2.1 Installation Overview

Installation of the ACE-142S/142V cabinet involves the fo llowing main tasks:

Installing a Support Base–The cabinet must be mounted on a suitable support base. The following two mounting options are available:

• Fiberglass M ounti ng Sl eeve (FM S)–The FMS provides a stable mounting platform plus

storage space under the cabinet for OSP cable slack. The FMS may also be used as a splicing va ult for the OSP feeder and distribution cables.

• Poured Concrete Pad–Concrete slab with Pad Mounting Frame (PMF). The PMF

provides a stainless-steel frame for mounting the cabinet. The PMF ensures that the cabinet will be securel y anchor ed to the concrete slab.

ADCP-96-015 • Issue 1 • July 2004

Mounting the Cabinet–After the support base is installed, the cabinet is secured to the support base.

Feeder and Di stribution Ca ble Installa tion–The cabinet OSP feeder and distribution cables are routed into the cabinet and spliced.

3 MOUNTING THE CABINET ON A FIBERGLASS MOUNTING SLEEVE

The FMS-20000, shown in Figure3, is a fiberglass and polymer concrete sleeve that may be used to support the cabinet at ground level. The FMS may also be used as a splicing vault. Four vertical racks are molded into the sides of the FMS to accommodate removable rungs (not provided). The rungs provide support for splice cases or OSP cable storage.

3.1 Installation Recommendations

The site chosen for the installation must conform to all local codes and any permits required must be obtained prior to the start of installation. The location must be accessible and provide adequate parking for worker and vehicle safety.

The installed cabinet must not create a visual or physical obstruction to vehicular or pedestrian traffic. Ensure that there is sufficient space on all sides to facilitate cabinet installation. Depending on the landscaping requirements, the top surface of the mounting sleeve may be located from 0 to 4 inches (10.2 cm) above the surrounding grade.

3.3 Placement of the FMS

Danger: Use adequate lifti ng equi pme nt wh en ins tal li ng the FMS. Do not s tan d in th e hole w hil e placing the FMS in position. An unexpected shift of the FMS could result in personal injury.

Use the following procedures to place the FMS into the excavation.

1. Fill the bottom of the hole with stone aggregate, tamping it as it is filled to build a 12 inch (30.5 cm) layer with a level surface. The stone aggregate will provide a stable base to support the FMS.

Note: Use crushed rock 3/8-inch or less in size mixed with stone dust (per local practice) to fill the hole. The name of the material may differ in different geographical areas. Possible names are Class 5, stone dust, aughts (0s) and ones (1s), or stone aggregate

2. Use appropriate lifting equipment to place the FMS into the center of the hole. Lifting loops are provided on eit her side of the FMS for attaching a sling or chain.

3. Use a carpenter’s level to verify that the FMS is level. If it is necessary to add or remove fill for leveling, tamp any added fill to maintain the base stability.

3.4 Cable Conduit Installation

Select the conduit entrance hole(s) for the OSP feeder and distribution cables. Refer to Figure 4 for the location of the holes. If necessary, additional conduit entrance holes may be cut using a power drill and hole saw. Place and route the conduit into the entrance hole(s). If preferred, the FMS may be installed without conduit . OSP cables may be routed into the FMS at any point tha t is convenient. Cut the cable entrance hole to match the size of the cable.

3.5 Grounding System Installation

Install a grounding system (not provi ded ) that meets all loc al electr ical codes. C heck local codes for grounding system installation, use of clamps, wire size, and any other grounding requirements. Typically, #6 AWG copper wire is used for the grounding wire. Install the grounding syste m inside the FMS where it will not interfere with the conduit or cables. Connect the grounding wire to the grounding system. Leave sufficient slack in the grounding wire to allow it to be routed into the cabinet after the cabinet is mounted on the sleeve.

3.6 Back Fill

If installing conduit, hand shovel stone aggregate under the conduit to avoid damage from the power tamper. Complete the back fill as follows:

1. Add stone aggregate evenly around the FMS and tamp. Fill to approximately 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the top of the excavation.

2. Complete the back-fill with crushed rock or topsoil depending on the landscaping requirements. The top surface of the mounting sleeve may be located from 0 to 4 inches (10.2 cm) above the surrounding grade (see Figure 4).

3.7 Mounting the Cabinet on the FMS-20000

The following sections provide instructions for mounting the ACE-142S/142V cabinet on the FMS-20000. With the ACE-142S cabinet, the distribution cables must be installed after the cabinet is mounted. With the ACE-142V cabinet, the distribution cables are pre-installed in the cabinet by the factory. If mounting an ACE-142S cabinet, refer to Section 3.7.1 for the cabinet mounting procedure. If mounting an ACE-142V cabinet with pre-installed distribution cables, refer to Section 3.7.2 for t he cabinet mounting proce dur e. Use the 216B key tool to un-latch and latch the cabinet doors as need ed during the mounting process.
