28 Pole Mount Installation
Introduction
You can install an ECN on any standard utility pole, in either the supply space or
the common area. The ECN provides a carrying loop for a carabiner hook to
allow you to easily carry the ECN while climbing the pole. The ECN is also small
and light enough that you can carry it while working from a boom lift.
After installation, the ECN can withstand a 115 kg (250 lb) load, for example, of
a utility worker stepping on the unit. The ECN is designed to be small enough
that a utility worker can gaff up the pole and around the unit with minimal
difficulty.
The installation includes a bracket that you attach to the utility pole. You then
attach the ECN to the installed bracket. Subsequent replacement or installation
of an ECN can reuse the installed bracket, thus substantially reducing
replacement installation time and effort. In addition, you can connect or
disconnect the ECN from either power or the communications network easily,
without having to uninstall the entire unit.
Required Tools
To perform the installation for the Pole Mounting Bracket, you will need the
following tools:
• Support bolt: 12 to 70 cm (4.5 to 27.5 inches) in length (depends on the
pole class and the planned installation height for the ECN), 1.6 cm (5/8
inch) in diameter
• One or two 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) washers, combined thickness 5.72 cm (2-1/4
inch)
• One 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) square-head or hex-head nut
• A drill, with drill bit appropriate for a 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) diameter bolt that
is 12 to 70 cm (4.5 to 27.5 inches) in length
• A wrench suitable for 1.6 cm (5/8 inch) bolts
• A wire stripping tool
• A fiberglass or plastic cable puller tool
• A standard Phillips
®
screwdriver, Point Size 2
In addition to the tools listed above, you need an ECN Pole Mount Kit and the
appropriate ECN input power cable accessory:
• The input power cable accessory is available in three lengths: 3 m, 9 m,
and 12 m (10 ft, 30 ft, and 40 ft).
• The cable type conforms to the specifications for 1.29 mm (16 AWG)
stranded copper conductors. The outer jacket for the cable is insulated
(600 V rating). The cable includes four conductors:
o Black: Phase 1
o Blue: Phase 2
o Red: Phase 3
