• Observe local building practices for pad construction. American Products recommends that the pad should extend a minimum of 8” beyond the enclosure base on all sides.
• Use a minimum of 6” of sand or gravel as a base for the pad for leveling purposes.

WARNING| When pad mounting, the compression strength of the pad must be at least 4000 psi as determined by ASTM C39 test of compression strength of concrete cylinders. The slump of the concrete shall be 2” to 4” as determined by ASTM C143 test method.

Installation

The AP INDEPENDENCE® cabinet should be mounted on a concrete pad. See the figure below for pad mounting hole patterns.
WARNING: During cabinet mounting, fixture the cabinet securely to avoid personal injury or cabinet damage.

Quarter Turn 3-Point Locking Door Latches

The cabinet doors are equipped with quarter-turn 3-point padlock-able door latches. The latches are secured by turning the handle a quarter turn clockwise until the stop is reached. Convenient security padlock hole to allow for a standard Master lock (or equivalent) to be installed. With a padlock on the latch, access door cannot be opened protecting the cabinet from undesired intrusion.

Clearance Requirements

When selecting a location to mount the cabinet, ensure that proper clearance is available to allow the cabinet door to open fully. Fan Ventilation System (OPTIONAL)
The AP INDEPENDENCE® can be equipped with a fan ventilation system and thermostat control.
The cabinet has two filters. The inlet filters are on the inside of the cabinet. To replace the filter remove the four nuts that secure the filter frame, remove old filter media and replace with new media and reinstall the filter frame. The outlet filter, which primarily protects the cabinet from dust and debris flowing to the cabinet when the fan is not active, is located between the fan panel and the exterior louvers on the cabinet.
The fan forces air out of the top exterior louvers. This action draws outside air into the cabinet through the bottom set of filtered louvers on the exterior of the cabinet.
