4.10 Solar Panel Installation
The solar panel is designed for outdoor mounting on a 2” extension pipe. This is installed on the upper end of the flow computer
40” mounting pipe, as shown in Figure 54. The solar panel must be mounted within 12 feet of the flow computer (other cable
lengths available). For a wall mounted flow computer, it can be mounted on the top or the side of the meter house.
NOTICE- Equipment damage: Do not connect the solar panel power cable to the flow computer unless the main
battery pack has been connected to J1 (see Figure 53).
If installation procedures are required for mounting the solar panel on the top or the side of the meter house, the
customer should contact Totalflow's Service Department; see the Getting Help section in the Introduction chapter
of this manual.
