Installation Instructions
Co-Locating Mounting Platform Series
All three models have the same top enclosure mounting plate but have different base mounting options. Follow the instructions for the mounting option you purchased. The two brackets are connected by eight studs ¼-20 with nuts tightened to 6 ft-lbs.
Model 1
Pole Mount
The pole mount design allows the bracket to
be through bolted on wood poles and U-bolted to pipes and band clamps for
metal or concrete poles. Select the application you have.
Through Bolt for Wood Utility Poles
The kit includes a 5/8 threaded rod and hardware to mount the bracket to a
wood utility pole. Drill a hole through the center of the pole and attach the
rod to the pole. Hang the bracket on the rod and secure the bottom of the
bracket with supplied lag bolt.
Pipe Installation
The bracket can be attached to a 2-inch pipe using the two U-bolts supplied.
Banding for Poles
The bracket comes with banding and band clamps that attach the bracket to the
pole. The bracket has slots in the side ribs to run the banding through.
Follow the Band-It® instructions below.
BAND- IT® Installation Instructions
-
STEP 1: Mark the band at least 4-6 inches from the end and fold the band at the mark. Strike the band at the bend to create a sharp radius to allow fixed retainer to lock into place. Slide band into fixed retainer so that band will fold under retainer when installed (See Step 5).
-
STEP 2: Band must be adjusted to fit pole. Measure distance from edge of fixed retainer and mark the band. Additional length must be allowed for any equipment placed under band. Calculate additional length required and mark band. Cut the band at least 4-6 inches beyond this mark.
-
STEP 3: Slotted equipment must be threaded on the band at this stage. Remove nut and sliding retainer from carriage bolt. Thread equipment on band and thread the sliding retainer on band with the beveled end of the retainer facing the open end of band.
-
STEP 4: Bend the band at the second mark so that the 4-6 inches of excess will be inside the band after installation (See Step 5). Strike the bend in the band to create a sharp radius, allowing the retainer to lock in place.
-
STEP 5: Make a 90 degree bend at the base of each retainer. This will allow retainers and carriage bolt to properly align.
-
STEP 6: Place assembly around pole at mounting height. At this stage, any equipment that does not require threading should be hung on band.
-
STEP 7: Insert the carriage bolt into the sliding retainer. Make sure the carriage bolt locks into place on the fixed retainer. Install a washer (not provided) if required. Install the nut and tighten until equipment is secure and all slack has been removed from band.
-
STEP 8: Completed installation.
