1. Install U-bolts and metal plate
Installation of the U-bolts, which are in turn used to mount the sensor package on a
pole, requires installation of an included metal plate to receive the U-bolt ends. The
metal plate, visible in Figure 3, has four holes through which the ends of the two U-
bolts will fit. The plate itself is inserted in a groove on the bottom of the unit
(opposite the solar panel). Note that one side of the plate has a straight edge (which
goes into the groove), the other side is bent at a 90-degree angle and has a curved
profile (which will end up “hugging” the mounting pole). Once the metal plate is
inserted, insert both U-bolts through the respective holes of the metal plate as
shown in Figure 3.

Loosely screw on the nuts on the ends of the U-bolts. You will tighten these later
during final mounting. Final assembly is shown in Figure 4.
