Note: Use crushed rock 3/8-inch or less in size mixed with stone dust (per local practice) to fill the hole. The name of the material may differ in different geographical areas. Possible names are Class 5, stone dust, aughts (0s) and ones (1s), or stone aggregate

2.Use appropriate lifting equipment to place the FMS into the center of the hole. Lifting loops are provided on either side of the FMS for attaching a sling or chain.

3.Use a carpenter’s level to verify that the FMS is level. If it is necessary to add or remove fill for leveling, tamp any added fill to maintain the base stability.

3.4Cable Conduit Installation

Select the conduit entrance hole(s) for the OSP feeder and distribution cables. Refer to Figure 4 for the location of the holes. If necessary, additional conduit entrance holes may be cut using a power drill and hole saw. Place and route the conduit into the entrance hole(s). If preferred, the FMS may be installed without conduit. OSP cables may be routed into the FMS at any point that is convenient. Cut the cable entrance hole to match the size of the cable.

3.5Grounding System Installation

Install a grounding system (not provided) that meets all local electrical codes. Check local codes for grounding system installation, use of clamps, wire size, and any other grounding requirements. Typically, #6 AWG copper wire is used for the grounding wire. Install the grounding system inside the FMS where it will not interfere with the conduit or cables. Connect the grounding wire to the grounding system. Leave sufficient slack in the grounding wire to allow it to be routed into the cabinet after the cabinet is mounted on the sleeve.

3.6Back Fill

If installing conduit, hand shovel stone aggregate under the conduit to avoid damage from the power tamper. Complete the back fill as follows:

1.Add stone aggregate evenly around the FMS and tamp. Fill to approximately 6 inches (15.2 cm) from the top of the excavation.

2.Complete the back-fill with crushed rock or topsoil depending on the landscaping requirements. The top surface of the mounting sleeve may be located from 0 to 4 inches (10.2 cm) above the surrounding grade (see Figure 4).

3.7Mounting the Cabinet on the FMS-20000

The following sections provide instructions for mounting the ACE-142S/142V cabinet on the FMS-20000. With the ACE-142S cabinet, the distribution cables must be installed after the cabinet is mounted. With the ACE-142V cabinet, the distribution cables are pre-installed in the cabinet by the factory. If mounting an ACE-142S cabinet, refer to Section 3.7.1 for the cabinet mounting procedure. If mounting an ACE-142V cabinet with pre-installed distribution cables, refer to Section 3.7.2 for the cabinet mounting procedure. Use the 216B key tool to un-latch and latch the cabinet doors as needed during the mounting process.
