FIGURE 3.1-1. Rechargeable Power Mounting and Connections
a) Sealed Rechargeable Battery Option: Install the kit as shown in Figure
3.1-1. An unregulated solar panel or 17 to 24 VAC must be used with the
rechargeable battery at all times. In either case, power is routed through
the Heyco fitting on the enclosure back and connected to the CHG ports
by depressing connector levers. Polarity of the CHG connection does not
matter. Install the rechargeable battery and plug the battery lead into the
connector labeled “LA”.
Press the connector levers gently or they might break.
3.1.2 Solar Panel Installation
FIGURE 3.1-2. Solar Panel Mounting
a) Mount the solar panel to the tower using the mounting brackets as shown
in Figure 3.1-2. Mount the solar panel to the tower so it faces south
(northern hemisphere). Position it as high off the ground as practical,
ensuring it cannot interfere with air flow or sunlight around the sensors.
