CURRENT OH 5000 and 6000 Series Install Guide Document #520-0042-0001 Revision: C Date: 3/19/2009 10 CURRENT Group, LLC – Confidential and Proprietary 2. General Guidelines for Installation This section describes the general guidelines, requirements and safety concerns applicable to all installations of CURRENT’s Broadband over Power Line solution. Please direct questions or requests for support to your ground supervisor. Powerline workers must meet both requirements listed below to be allowed to install the equipment of the CURRENT 5000 and 6000 series: 1. Be qualified to perform work in the utility power zone (see OSHA 1910.269). 2. Receive appropriate CURRENT training specific to the CURRENT 6000 series (training course CURRENT 6000 F101 – CURRENT 6000 Field Installation of CURRENT equipment or the equivalent). 2.1 Safety 2.1.1 Crew requirements Powerline workers must be qualified to perform work in the utility power zone (OSHA 1910.269) to be able to install the CURRENT BPL equipment listed in Chapter 1. 2.1.2 Pole Selection Requirements The National Electrical Safety Code requires that there be a vertical Communications Worker Safety Zone between the lower limit of the Power Zone and the upper limit of the Communications Zone (NESC Rule 235C. Vertical Clearance Between Line Conductors 1. & 4.). NESC Table 235-5 states the allowable size of the mandatory Communications Worker Safety Zone. All BPL equipment being installed on a standard pole or riser pole must be installed in the Power Zone and cannot extend below the Power Zone. Figure 2 illustrates these zones. Due to the variances in utility pole layouts, it is difficult to specify the exact dimensions for the BPL equipment layout. The word “approximately” is often used throughout this install guide. This is to allow the lineperson some flexibility in the location where the equipment is installed. The BPL equipment should not be installed in such a way as to impede the climbing of the pole and/or the maintenance of the utility equipment on that pole. The installation must be done in accordance with the utility approved standard.
CURRENT OH 5000 and 6000 Series Install Guide Document #520-0042-0001 Revision: C Date: 3/19/2009 CURRENT Group, LLC – Confidential and Proprietary 11 Power Zone Communications Zone Communication Worker Safety Zone (Neutral Zone) Lowest Power Co. Attachment Highest Communications Co. Attachment Figure 2 – Location for Equipment Installation Any pole that is not bucket truck accessible is required to have sufficient climbing space. This means that at least one of the four sides of the pole must be clear of equipment. 2.1.3 Approved Equipment ¾ Only approved equipment shall be installed. ¾ Only equipment which has a label with an appropriate voltage rating may be installed in the utility power zone.
CURRENT OH 5000 and 6000 Series Install Guide Document #520-0042-0001 Revision: C Date: 3/19/2009 12 CURRENT Group, LLC – Confidential and Proprietary 2.1.4 Site Safety Inspection ¾ Mechanical Inspection: Verify that a ground rod and ground wire have been properly installed on the riser pole or transformer cabinet. ¾ If the site fails any inspection, perform the proper action per accepted procedures. ¾ Record results of mechanical safety inspection. 2.1.5 Clearances All equipment must be installed with the appropriate clearances as shown in the installation drawings. Please refer to Appendix B for the complete set of installation drawings. 2.1.6 OH Grounding Instructions CURRENT’s OH equipment needs to be grounded via the pole ground and primary neutral. If there is no pole ground in place, then one needs to be run. The only exception to this rule is the following: ¾ If the base of the pole is completely surrounded by concrete, brick, or paving, then no pole ground is required as long as a pole ground exists within ten (10) pole spans of the location. If a new pole ground is installed, it must be installed according to utility specifications (refer to your utility pole ground drawing). 2.2 Tools and Equipment 2.2.1 Tools and Truck Stock Appendix A provides a complete list of all the equipment needed for the install of the CURRENT broadband overhead equipment. The list is grouped by component install and includes the number of components needed per pole or transformer. This amount is a suggested amount. The actual amount needed will vary depending on the pole or transformer, the size of the wire being used, etc.
CURRENT OH 5000 and 6000 Series Install Guide Document #520-0042-0001 Revision: C Date: 3/19/2009 CURRENT Group, LLC – Confidential and Proprietary 13 2.3 Removing Equipment Disassemble the components in the reverse sequence from assembly. Be sure to trim all wires connected to the secondary wire to the insulation, so that no bare wire is visible. The drain/ground wire must not be removed before the CT Coupler is de-energized. Removing the RF Drain/ground wire before the CT Coupler is de-energized may result in serious injury or death.

It is also possible to mount two (2) Bridges together on one pole. Section 6.3 explains how to perform a dual Bridge install. Please refer to Appendix B for the install drawing. X Notes a) Apply an approved lubricant (e.g., Burndy type A-13 Penetrox) to all electrical connections. b) Do not use the power cable as a handle. When connecting the power cables of the CURRENT equipment, it is important to remember that when only one of the red or black wires is connected, the unconnected wire will float to the same voltage potential as the wire which is connected. When both wires are connected, current flow is limited by the circuitry in the equipment. 1. To mount the Bridge, ensure that the location where the Bridge will be mounted is within six (6) feet of the distribution secondary. 2. Drill a clearance hole for the 5/8” through bolt. Loosely install the appropriate length through bolt using the square nut on the back side of the pole. 3. Measure 11 ½” down from the through bolt and drive in the lag screw. 4. Loosen the lag screw slightly. 5. Hang the Bridge on the through bolt. The slotted hook on the top of the mounting plate will fit on the lag bolt with the hook on the bottom fitting over the lag screw. 6. Secure the Bridge by tightening the lag screw and the nut on the through bolt. 7. Connect the CT Coupler cable to the BNC connector on the Bridge. When connecting the power cables of the CURRENT equipment, it is important to remember that when only one of the red or black wires is connected, the unconnected wire will float to the same voltage potential as the wire which is connected. When both wires are connected, current flow is limited by the circuitry in the equipment. 8. Cover the exposed wire on the red and black power wires with electrical tape. This will protect in case of accidental contact with the power wires before they are connected in step 13. 9. Cut ground wire to the length needed. 10. Attach one end of the wire to the Bridge ground connector using a screwdriver.

Connect the power cable to the distribution secondary using utility approved connectors. Be sure to only cut back the power cable the amount needed to make the connection. ¾ Red = Leg 1, 120 volts Æ Remember to remove the electrical tape covering the exposed wire. ¾ Black = Leg 2, 120 volts Æ Remember to remove the electrical tape covering the exposed wire. 13. If needed, dress the excess power wires with molding and staples on the pole. Be sure not to staple into the power wires when attaching to the pole. 14. Continue with the Verify Installation section (pg. 4). 8.3 Verify Installation Listen for the LV Repeater tones indicating that the LV Repeater is powered up properly. ¾ As soon as the last 120 volt power wire is connected, the LV Repeater will emit a single tone signifying it has power. ¾ After 30 seconds the LV Repeater will emit four (4) sequential tones signifying the LV Repeater has booted correctly and loaded the necessary software. These four (4) sequential tones are confirmation that the LV Repeater has been properly installed. X Note If you do not hear the proper tones (or no tones at all) follow your utility’s standard procedures for dealing with equipment failures.

CURRENT OH 5000 and 6000 Series Install Guide Document #520-0042-0001 Revision: C Date: 3/19/2009 76 CURRENT Group, LLC – Confidential and Proprietary 9. CT LVR OH 5000 This chapter describes the procedure for installing a CT LVR OH 5000. Please direct questions or requests to your ground supervisor. The CT LVR OH 5000 is the device in a Broadband over Power Line (BPL) that extends the reach of the broadband communications on the secondary distribution line. It is used when the broadband signal is not able to reach a building from the CT Bridge directly. LVR stands for Low Voltage Repeater. As it name suggests, it is mounted on the Low Voltage power line. Powerline workers must meet both requirements listed below to be allowed to install the equipment of the CURRENT 5000 and 6000 series: 1. Be qualified to perform work in the utility power zone (see OSHA 1910.269). 2. Receive appropriate CURRENT training specific to the CURRENT 5000 series (training course CURRENT 5000 F101 – CURRENT 5000 Field Installation of CURRENT Group equipment or the equivalent). 9.1 Components The major components for a CT LVR OH 5000 installation are listed below. ¾ CT LVR OH 5000 (#210-0129-xxxx) ¾ A standard set of consumables on the truck as identified in the CURRENT Group truck stock. Please refer to Appendix A for a complete listing of the truck items specific for installing the CT LVR. Figure 53 and Figure 54 below show the nomenclature of the front and back of the CT LVR.

CURRENT OH 5000 and 6000 Series Install Guide Document #520-0042-0001 Revision: C Date: 3/19/2009 78 CURRENT Group, LLC – Confidential and Proprietary 9.2 Installation The steps for mounting the CT LVR on a utility pole are listed below. X Notes Apply an approved lubricant (e.g., Burndy type A-13 Penetrox) to all electrical connections. When connecting the power cables of the CURRENT equipment, it is important to remember that when only one of the red or black wires is connected, the unconnected wire will float to the same voltage potential as the wire which is connected. When both wires are connected, current flow is limited by the circuitry in the equipment. 1. Ensure that the location where the CT LVR will be mounted is within six (6) feet above the distribution secondary. 2. Screw a lag screw into the utility pole. Leave the screw protruding about 1/8 inch. 3. Hang the CT LVR on the protruding lag screw. 4. Ensure that the CT LVR is hanging vertically straight and install a second lag screw at the bottom of the mount by tightening the second lag screw using a wrench or bolt-driver against the bottom bolt connection of the mounting bracket. Be sure not to bang so as to avoid any unnecessary vibrations of the CT LVR! When connecting the power cables of the CURRENT equipment, it is important to remember that when only one of the red or black wires is connected, the unconnected wire will float to the same voltage potential as the wire which is connected. When both wires are connected, current flow is limited by the circuitry in the equipment. 5. Cover the exposed wire on the red and black power wires with electrical tape. This will protect in case of accidental contact with the power wires before they are connected in step 10. 6. Cut ground wire to the length needed. 7. Attach one end of the wire to the CT LVR ground connector using a screwdriver. 8. Attach the other end of the ground wire to the pole ground or neutral wire (if there isn’t a pole ground) with a crimp. 9. Trim the CT LVR power wires to the shortest possible length that will still reach the secondary. 10. Using either crimp type connectors or split bolts (whichever is the preferred method of the utility) attach the unit wires using the following color code. ¾ Red = 120 volts (leg 1) Æ Remember to remove the electrical tape covering the exposed wire.
