4. HOUSING PREPARATION
Step 1: Open housing door with slotted screwdriver.
Step 2: Remove base plate from housing with Phillips-head screwdriver.
Step 3: Mark and drill holes in bottom of housing according to drawings.
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
Step 1: Route the feeder cable through the tting 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.
Step 4: Install a sheath retention clamp.
Step 5: Secure the cable to the sheath retention bracket
with two cable ties. Make sure the tabs on the clamp
material are in the recessed section of the bracket.
7. STRENGTH MEMBER STRAIN-RELIEF
Step 1: Test central member for thickness.
4. Wrap the grounding connector and split
portion of the shealth with a few wraps of
vinyl tape.
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.
2. Position the grounding clamp base plate
under the armor. The stops of the clamp
should just touch the outside of the armor
and sheath. Tap the sheath above the ground
clamp base to set the teeth.
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.

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)
Armored cable requires a ground clamp.

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 at washers.
Step 6: Loosely install the other hex nut.
Step 7: Wrap the yarn around the bolt in a clockwise direction between the at washers.
Step 8: Tighten the second hex nut.
Step 9: Trim off the excess yarn.
8. COMPLETE GROUNDING
(WITH HDWR-GRND-KIT)

provided screws and connect grounding wires
as shown.
9. CABLE ROUTING

CAUTION: Fiber optic cable is sensitive to excessive pulling, bending, and crushing forces. Consult
the cable specication 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 specied.
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.

(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:
EDC-02P-NH

Step 2: Secure the tray to the wall as
shown. Discard spacers
depending on tray type..
EDC-06/12P-NH
Step 1: Place completed tray(s) into the holder
and secure with the hook-and-loop
strap (make sure the buffer tube(s)
and pigtail(s) are routed around the
radius control guides as shown).
Step 2: Starting in the bottom section,
