3.0 Site Preparation, continued
3.3 Transportation and Lifting
The PN-3 or PN-4 cabinet as shipped weighs approximately 100-150 lbs. A safe means of
transportation to the site and a safe procedure for unloading the enclosure is necessary. Do
not transport or lift with a device that may not be able to bear the unit's weight, and do not
place the unit upon a surface that will not be able to fully support it.
3.4 Enclosure Mounting Procedure
The enclosure bolts directly to the concrete pad. Mounting holes are provided in the base of
the internal enclosure rack to accommodate the pad’s 3/8" stainless or galvanized anchor
bolts.
1. Place vapor barrier material on pad and make cutouts for anchoring hardware and other
openings as necessary. A 25+ year vapor barrier MUST be used between the concrete
and enclosure base to inhibit moisture ingress and to prevent corrosion caused by
concrete-to-metal contact.
2. With no less than two fi eld personnel lifting the enclosure, position it above the concrete
pad and slowly lower it into position over the pad's 3/8" anchor bolts.
3. Secure the enclosure using stainless, galvanized (or better) fl at washers, lock washers
and 3/8" nuts at each mounting bolt.
4. Install electronic modules and batteries at this time.
