POD Point PP_2111 Installation Manual - Section 2 : Civil Work
Section 2.1: Surface Mount
The surface mounting foundation adapter can be used to secure the POD Point to existing concrete (or similar) surfaces,
or to a purpose laid 600 x 600 x 150 mm concrete pad. Cable entry may be subterranean or surface mounted. For surface
entry installations, a spacer kit will be required to allow the cable to enter under the baseplate. These are available in 5 or 10
mm thicknesses and may be stacked up to 25mm as required for your selected cable diameter.
The surface mounting plate is secured to the ground using four M10 or M12 x 120mm minimum expanding countersunk
concrete anchor bolts (or prefered equivalent fixing).
It is very important that the foundation is installed level, as this affects the angle of the POD Point. It is also very important
to orientate the foundation correctly, as this controls the orientation of the POD Point. The POD Point may be mounted on
the foundation in any orientation required (4 way rotational symmetry).

Section 2.2: Subterranean Mount
The Subterranean Foundation adaptor is typically set in 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.45m of PAV1 S2 Slump concrete and is designed to
accept subterranean cables which are buried 450 mm below the surface. The cable enters the foundation through a standard
32mm Rigiduct.
It is very important that the foundation is level in all axes, as this controls the angle of the POD Point. It is also very important
to orientate the foundation correctly, as this controls the orientation of the POD Point. (see Section 2.1). If required, it is
possible to stabilise the subterranean foundation by inserting suitable lengths of 5/6mm rod through the two offset pairs of
holes in the bottom of the unit.
Section 2.3: NAL Foundation Mounting Plate
Where RS115 NAL sockets are installed, the NAL adapter may be
attached to the bottom of the POD Point. Insert the adapter into
the socket and clamp according to NAL instructions.
Except where mounted against a rear wall, no items
– e.g. Signage should be installed within 300mm
radius of the centre of the POD Point.
