Step 4: Install Cable entry port Fittings according to the instructions provided with them.
Step 5: reinstall the base plate with the phillips-head screwdriver.
Step 6: to make cable installation easier in the -06p and the -12p units, remove the splice tray holder by sliding it towards the top of the housing and lifting it out.
5. MOUNT THE HOUSING TO A WALL OR POLE
Step 1: remove the stabilizer bracket.
NOTE: If you will be mounting the eDC without the stabilizer bracket, discard it at this time. rotate the top bracket of the eDC-02p-NH (not necessary on -06p and -12p) so the elliptical hole is exposed. position the housing as desired and secure using ¼-inch screws in the top and bottom mounting brackets.
Step 2: Drive ¼-inch screws or wall anchors through the stabilizer bracket and into the mounting surface. Do not install a screw in the bottom hole of the stabilizer bracket at this time.
Step 3: Hang the eDC on the stabilizer bracket, making sure that the top mounting bracket is resting between the two tabs on the stabilizer bracket.
Step 4: Line up the elliptical hole in the bottom mounting bracket with the bottom hole in the stabilizer bracket and drive a
¼-inch screw or wall anchor through the brackets and into the mounting surface.

6. CABLE PREPARATION
Drive a screw through the mounting bracket and stabilizer bracket and into the mounting surface.
Step 1: Route the feeder cable through the fitting on the left at the base of the unit.
Step 2: Access the cable according to the following distances leaving 2.5 inches of central member and 4 inches of yarn, if present:
• EDC-02P-NH: 6 ft (2 m) • EDC-06P-NH: 10 ft (3 m) • EDC-12P-NH: 15 ft (5 m)

Step 3: Ground armored cable using (1) HDWr-GrND-KIt per cable.
1. Cut a slit into oppsite sides of the outer sheath and armor about 2 in (5 cm). To do this, score the armor with a cable knofe (being careful not to damage the inner sheath) and split the sheath by flexing it.
3. Position the top plate and lock nut on the outer sheath over the base plate. Tighten with a 3/8 in (10 mm) wrench so that the teeth on the upper plate are driven into the sheath.
Tighten the assembly with a 3/8 in
(10 mm) wrench.

Step 4: Install a sheath retention clamp.
1. Wrap a section of clamp material around the cable to determine the length needed for one full wrap.
2. Use side cutter to cut the clamp material so that it ends up one section shorter than this length.
3. Place the cut length of clamp material 1.25 in
(3.0 cm) from the end of the cable sheath.
4. Install a hose clamp over it, covering as many holes as possible. Hand tighten with a slotted screwdriver or a 5/8-in driver.
5. Wrap the sheath retention assembly with vinyl tape. (Shown without vinyl tape for clarity)

Step 1: test central member for thickness.
Insert the central member into the hole in the shim.

Step 2: remove the top nut and the two washers from the bracket.
Step 3: Loosen the remaining nut.
Step 4: Insert central member of the cable between the U-shaped washer and bracket.
• Arrange the buffer tubes to ensure clearance around the central member clamp assembly.
Step 5: Retighten the nut and reinstall the two flat washers.
Step 6: Loosely install the other hex nut.
Step 7: Wrap the yarn around the bolt in a clockwise direction between the flat washers.
Step 8: tighten the second hex nut.
Step 9: trim off the excess yarn.

9. CABLE ROUTING
CAUTION: Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces. Consult the cable specification sheet for the cable you are installing. Do not bend the cable more sharply than the minimum recommended bend radius. Do not apply more pulling force to the cable than specified.
Do not crush the cable or allow it to kink. Doing so may cause damage that can alter the transmission characteristics of the cable; the cable may have to be replaced.
9.1. For Splicing to Pigtailed Panels or Modules
Step 1: Install pigtailed panel or module into connector panel bracket.
Step 2: route buffer tube(s) and pigtail(s) in a counterclockwise direction around the radius guides with one loop per section, starting with the back section.
• tWO complete loops for eDC-02p-NH
• tHree complete loops for eDC-06/12p-NH
STANDARD RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE 003-304 | ISSUE 10 | September 2010 | PAGE 4 OF 7

Step 4: mark the buffer tube(s) and pigtail(s) ¾ inch from where they will enter the splice tray
(eDC-02p-NH shown).
Step 5: Unwind buffer tube(s) and pigtail(s) from the radius guides and bring them as pairs to a convenient splicing location.
Step 6: Access the buffer tube(s) and pigtail(s) to the mark and secure with cable ties to the splice tray.
• Follow instructions included in the splice tray for routing.
Step 7: Once splicing is complete follow the guidelines below:
