Attach the drain wire of the shielded cable to the ground in the controller cabinet.
6. Provide a minimum of 4 feet of additional cable at each handhole and loosely coil the extra cable on the handhole cable hooks. Provide a minimum of 2 feet of additional cable at each signal pole (measured from the handhole compartment in the pole to the end of the cable). Provide a minimum of 10 feet of additional cable at each controller base.
7. Pull cables through conduit using a cable grip designed to provide a firm hold upon the exterior covering of the cable or cables, and minimize dragging on the ground or pavement.
8. Install a tracer wire in all conduits with the exception of conduits between detector loops and handholes. Use a silicon-filled wire nut to splice the tracer wire in each handhole and at the controller to form a continuous run.
9. Fiber Optic Cable and Accessories:
a. Use a suitable cable feeder guide between the cable reel and the face of the conduit to protect the cable and guide the cable directly into the conduit off the reel. During the installation, carefully inspect cable jacket for defects. If defects are found, notify the Engineer prior to any additional cable being installed. Take care when pulling the cable to ensure the cable does not become kinked, crushed, twisted, snapped, etc.
b. Attach a pulling eye to the cable and use to pull the cable through the conduit. Use a pulling swivel to preclude twisting of the cable. Lubricate cable prior to entering the conduit with a lubricant recommended by the manufacturer. Use dynamometer or break away pulling swing to ensure the pulling tension does not exceed the specified force of 600 pounds or the cable manufacturer's recommendations, whichever is less. Do not allow the cable to twist, stretch, become crushed, or forced around sharp turns that exceed the bend radius or scar or damage the jacket. Manually assist the pulling of the cable at each pull point.
c. Do not pull cable through any intermediate junction box, handhole, pull box, pole base, or any other opening in the conduit unless specified in the contract documents. Install cable by pulling from handhole or controller cabinet to the immediate next downstream handhole or cabinet.

Record the identification, location, length, and attenuation measurements of each fiber, and furnish test reports to the Engineer. Replace any cable that fails testing, at no additional cost to the Contracting Authority.
a. On-reel Testing: Perform testing for attenuation and continuity using OTDR and a pigtail splice. Complete testing in one direction only. Acceptable test results will be within ± 3% of factory-supplied attenuation measurements. Except for access to and test preparation of one end of the newly furnished cable, preserve the cable in its originally-shipped condition. Furnish test reports to the Engineer prior to installation.
b. Cable Segment Testing: Perform an end-to-end attenuation test of each terminated fiber of each fiber optic cable. Perform testing using hand-held optical test sets. Include test results in documentation package provided to the Engineer at the conclusion of the project. Acceptable test results will not exceed the cumulative specified losses of the components. For example, at 850 nanometers, a one kilometer multimode fiber link with two splices and a connector on each end will not exceed 5.6 dB:
|
1.0 km x 3.5 dB/km: |
3.5 dB |
|
0.3 dB per splice x 2: |
0.6 dB |
|
0.75 dB per connector x 2: |
1.5 dB |
|
Maximum allowable loss: |
5.6 dB |
Repair or replace any cable segment that fails testing. Retest any repaired or replaced cable. Submit complete documentation of test results to the Engineer (hard copy or electronically).
c. Final System Testing: After complete fiber optic system is installed and terminated, but prior to capping unused fibers, perform OTDR readings on all cables to ensure that each section is in compliance with the specifications. Provide copies of OTDR trace signatures for all fibers for all cable sections to the Engineer. Also provide test results for attenuation test for the installed fibers using the insertion loss procedure and the transmitter/receiver power level test and the continuity test.

1. Erect all poles and posts vertically under normal load.
2. Securely bolt the bases to the cast-in-place concrete foundations using the following procedures. Perform this work only on days with winds less than 15 mph. Tighten all of the nuts in the presence of the inspector. Once the tightening procedure is started, complete on all of the base plate nuts without pause or delay.
a. Use properly sized wrenches or sockets, or both, designed for tightening nuts or bolts, or both, to avoid rounding or other damage to the nuts. Do not use adjustable end or pipe wrenches.
b. Ensure base plates, anchor rods, and nuts are free of all dirt or debris.
c. Apply stick wax or bees wax to the threads and bearing surfaces of the anchor bolt, nuts, and washers.
d. Tighten top nuts so they fully contact the base plate. Tighten leveling nuts to snug tight condition. Snug tight is defined as the full effort of one person on a wrench with a length equal to 14 times the bolt diameter but not less than 18 inches. Apply full effort as close to the end of the wrench as possible. Perform tightening by leaning back and using entire body weight to pull firmly on the end of the wrench until the nut stops rotating. Perform a minimum of two separate passes of tightening. Sequence tightening in each pass so that the nut on the opposite side, to the extent possible, is subsequently tightened until all of the nuts in that pass have been tightened.
e. Tighten top nuts to snug tight as described for the leveling nuts.
f. Match-mark the top nuts and base plate using paint, crayon, or other approved means to provide a reference for determining the relative rotation of the nut and base plate during tightening. Further tighten the top nuts tightened in two passes, as listed in Table 8010.01, using a striking or hydraulic wrench. Follow a sequence of tightening in each pass so that the nut on the opposite side, to the extent possible, is subsequently tightened until all nuts in that pass have been turned. Do not allow the leveling nut to rotate during the top nut tightening.
g. Lubricate the jam nuts, place, and tighten to snug tight.
