Brass Seizure Screw

1.25”

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.

9. Tighten the brass seizure screw on the cable “stinger” or center conductor. If a

connection is left loose, arcing and possible damage to the center conductor could
occur. During routine maintenance, always check the seizure screw assembly to
ensure that it is tight.

10. Connect an unbroken 6 AWG soft-drawn copper ground wire between the lug

provided on the back of the cabinet and a ground rod for lightning protection. Use a
ground rod clamp of the proper type, above or below grade.

11. If this is a ground mount installation, attach and secure the ground skirt front with

the screws provided.

12. Plug the power cord into the receptacle box.

13. Install any optional equipment at this time, referring to the instructions supplied with

the option.

14. Remove the screwdriver used as a lid stop and close the lid, securing it with the

single screw at the bottom

NOTE

If local codes require bonding to utility ground, a separate ground rod and
vertical should be provided, then the two verticals should be bonded at the
bottom of the pole.
