3. Installation Pole Mounting (Models PSF-MXP-*** and PCS-MXP-***) 3.1 A bucket truck or other suitable equipment such as spikes and safety harnesses, should be used during installation or service of pole-mounted cabinets. To mount the MiniMax power supply to a utility pole, perform the following steps: NOTE Pole mounting the cabinet should be done in accordance with the local agreement between the cable operator and the utility company. 1.
3. Installation Pole Mounting (Models PSF-MXP-*** and PCS-MXP-***), continued 3.1 2. Remove all equipment, hardware, and options from the cabinet and store in a secure location for future use. 3. Remove the U-shaped mounting bracket from the cabinet rear panel. 4. Use the bracket as a template to mark mounting holes at the desired mounting location. If possible, position the cabinet so the front panel is easily accessible. 5. Drill 11/16" holes in the pole at the marked locations. 6.
3. Installation Ground Mounting (Models PSF-MXG-*** and PCS-MXG-***) 3.2 Although ground mounting the power supply can be accomplished by several methods, the following procedure is recommended. 1. 2. Select an appropriate site. Remove the turf and level an area of approximately 36" x 36". In accordance with local codes, install the disconnect box near the AC power source.
3. Installation Ground Mounting (Models PSF-MXG-*** and PCS-MXG-***), continued 3.2 5. Attach the ground mounting brackets from the supplied kit to the ground skirt using the 5/16-18 x 3/4” screws and the 5/16"-18 nuts. 6. Make a template from sheet metal or wood indicating the position of the ground mounting bracket mounting holes. Drill out the four holes in the template and insert two customer-supplied 5/8" x 4" bolts.
3. Installation 3.3 Electrical Connections for Pole and Ground Mounts WARNING Verify the utility disconnect is off and that no conductors are energized before proceeding. 1. Open the housing cover and place a screwdriver blade in the small notch at the top of the housing to hold the cover in place. 2. Install a liquid tight conduit to the fitting on the cabinet bottom and pull the AC primary wiring in to the cabinet housing. 3.
3. Installation 3.3 Electrical Connections for Pole and Ground Mounts, continued 1.25” Brass Seizure Screw 8. Screw the cable connector into the output port (large hex nut fitting) located on the baseplate of the APC2. Make sure that the center pin extends far enough into the fitting so that the seizure assembly can be secured. Hex-nut Fitting 9. Tighten the brass seizure screw on the cable “stinger” or center conductor.
3. Installation Wall Mounting and Electrical Connection (Models PSF-W00-D**, PSF-W00-D09, and PSF-W00-D15) 3.4 NOTE The MiniMax non-standby power supply must be installed in accordance with local building codes to prevent damage to the mounting structure and the unit itself. 1. Install an agency-approved service disconnect switch with overcurrent protection, between the AC power source and the cabinet mounting point. Wire to power line in accordance with local codes. 2.
3. Installation Wall Mounting and Electrical Connection (Models PSF-W00-D**, PSF-W00-D09, and PSF-W00-D15), continued 3.4 6. Connect the electrical service to the to terminal block located inside the unit, as shown in figure 3-7. N/C 60 VAC Out N L Fig. 3-7 Terminal Block Connections 16 7. Connect the CATV coax cable to the type G2 connector on bottom of the enclosure. (Refer to figure 3-2.) 8. Test installation according to requirements.
4. Operation 4.1 Initial Turn Up 1. Turn the utility disconnect ON. The green lamp should light, indicating power output. Power will be applied to the cable plant at this time. 2. If desired, the output voltage can be checked at the cable center conductor seizure clamp and the cable ground, using a true RMS AC voltmeter.
