2.0 Installation
2.1 Pole-mount Installations
You can mount the APX-100W on a wooden, steel or concrete pole. If installed on a wooden
pole, the mounting bolts must completely penetrate the pole and be secured from the
back with a large washer and nut. If installed on a steel or concrete pole, you must use an
approved mounting strap. In the majority of cases, local codes specify a minimum height
requirement when mounting the enclosure. Verify height restrictions before you proceed.
NOTE:
Poles are typically the property of your local utility. Before you install an enclosure, have your local utility
approve the location and your chosen mounting method.
