E-Box Controller Setup Guide M75-SA300-CTLE/I or CLBE/I


Info
Overview
The "E-Box" series controllers, including the CTLE and CTLA models, are designed for convenient side-of-pole mounting, providing easy access and integration. These fiberglass enclosures streamline the installation process and offer robust protection for internal components. The "E" signifies the unit's ability to withstand extreme environments, optimizing charging capacity and battery longevity.

Installation Guide

Installing a Fiberglass Enclosed Controller or Collaborator

This guide applies to all CTLE, CLBE, CTLA, CLBA, and BSCA models.

  1. Mounting the Enclosure

    • Location: Choose a location on the pole that is out of human reach to deter vandalism, ideally behind the sign to obscure visibility to approaching drivers. Ensure cable runs are considered to avoid overly long connections.
    • Mounting Method: The enclosure can be mounted to the side of a post using bands or bolts. The installation kit provided includes bolts and banding brackets, but banding material is not included.
    • Mounting Provisions: The enclosure features simple mounting provisions with two centered holes drilled on 1” spacing for direct application to a Telespar-style pole.

  2. Cabling and Connections

    • Peripheral Devices: Route all peripheral devices' cabling into the bottom of the cabinet.
    • Power Source: Route the AC line or solar panel cable into the cabinet.
    • Antenna Positioning: Ensure the antenna has a clear view to the next device’s antenna and, ideally, a clear view to the controller.

  3. Internal Setup

    • Battery Installation: Inside the cabinet, you will find a single 12-volt battery (for “E” models) or an AC supply (for “A” models), ready to use with no assembly required.
    • I/O Panel: The integrated power supply includes an I/O panel with four 4-pin connectors and a blade fuse. All connections from external devices will terminate at these connectors.
