The pedestal-mount (PED) is constructed of weather-resistant steel and is ideal for
ground mount applications. The PED model is supplied with a stake for soil-
mounting applications, an optional concrete mounting kit may be ordered for
mounting to a concrete pad.
NOTE: BEFORE INSTALLING THE MTA, ENSURE THAT ALL OPTIONS HAVE
BEEN INSTALLED AND PROPERLY CONNECTED.
WARNING: THE PED ENCLOSURE MUST BE INSTALLED ABOVE THE
FLOOD PLANE AND LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL NOT RECEIVE
DAMAGE FROM TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, LAWN CARE EQUIPMENT, ETC.
Procedure: (soil-mount version)
Before proceeding, loosen the hex screw located on the right side of the enclosure.
Lift off the hood and remove the MTA (if installed), and Universal Bracket (UB1)
from the PED. The UB1 is secured by a wing-nut located near the top of the PED.
1. Locate the area where the PED is to be installed. There should be a slight
depression where the PED will be placed; 6” deep x 14” wide. This will
allow room to work while the PED is being installed and also provide
additional security and stability to the installation.
NOTE: When sinking the stake into the soil be extremely careful not to damage any
underground cabling, utility wires, water or gas pipes. If you are uncertain of these
locations, contact the local utilities for a survey.
2. Drive the mounting stake into the soil at the location the PED is to be
installed. Leave about 6” of the stake above the soil depression. NOTE:
Ensure that the stake is completely vertical and not driven-in at an angle.
3. Place the PED over the utility and cable feeds. Align two of the holes in the
back of the enclosure with two holes in the stake. Secure the enclosure to
the stake using the two (2) bolts, washers and nuts.
4. Mound the soil around the outside of the enclosure to bring it level with the
surrounding area. For additional stability, soil can be added inside of the
enclosure to bring it level with the outside soil line.
5. Reinstall the UB1 Bracket and place the MTA onto this bracket. Tighten the
captive on the bottom of the UB1 to secure the MTA, (see section 2.9
MODULAR TRANSFORMER ASSEMBLY and 2.7 CONNECTING UTILITY
POWER).
NOTE: A more secure method for mounting the enclosure would be to drive-in the
stake and mount the enclosure level with the surrounding soil (no depression), place
a wooden form around the outside of the enclosure and pour concrete to a depth of
3 or 4 inches.
