Install the Pedestal

You must prepare the installation site before installing the pedestal.

Proceed with the topics provided below to install the pedestal.

Mount and Level the Pedestal

  1. Pull service wiring up through the mounting surface, leaving approximately 1.8 m (6 ft) extending above grade.

  2. UK only:

    1. Fasten an installer-supplied 17 mm - 27 mm cable diameter cable gland to the end of the service wiring.

    2. Attach a non-insulated M8 terminal lug to a 6

      mm2 (10 AWGClosed American Wire Gauge) 300 V stranded green/yellow ground wire.

    3. Use a 5 mm (3/16 in) driver to connect the ground wire to the gland with a M8 x 8mm x 1.25 button head cap screw, M8 external tooth washer, and M8 nut.

  3. Remove the top nut and top washer from each of the four bolts in the pad.

  4. Place the pedestal over the conduit, routing the service wiring through the column. Ensure the long curved edge of the base plate (which is the cut-out for a CMKClosed Cable Management Kit) is located at the back of the station.

  5. Adjust the lower nuts as necessary to ensure the pedestal is level.

  6. When level, fasten the pedestal to the bolts using the 16 mm (5/8 in) nuts and washers and the 12 mm (1/2 in) drive torque wrench with 124 mm (15/16 in) deep socket, as shown. Torque the top nuts to 122 Nm (90 ft-lbs).

Verify level accuracy after each adjustment by positioning the level at various locations on the base plate and on the pedestal.

Install Pedestal Covers

  1. Position the two-piece pedestal covers over the bottom of the pedestal, as shown:

  2. Insert the four 8-32 x 9 mm (3/8 in) screws, two into each side of the pedestal, as shown.

  3. Tighten the screws using a Phillips screwdriver.

  4. Discard the extra cover.
