1. Warnings & Suggestions
An S618 is powered primarily via solar energy. If you would like to
power it alternatively through USB-C charging, a required USB-C
Power Delivery 3.0 adapter is not included. When sourcing one,
please note that the adapter must be rated for at least 60W of
output power (20V, 3A minimum) to properly charge the S618.
The S618 can also be powered via DC power supply (12V, >6A) or
802.3af/at Power over Ethernet (PoE) if installed as an add-on.

i. An S618 Installation site typically consists of a high
supporting structure such as a mast, tower or building for
the S618. To prevent injury or loss of life, please take extreme

national regulations.
2. In the USA, follow Section 810 of the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 (USA). In Canada, follow
Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code. These codes
describe correct installation procedures for grounding the
outdoor unit, mast, lead-in wire and discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors and connection requirements for
grounding electrodes. Other regulations may apply in
different countries and therefore it is recommended that
installation be contracted to a professional installer.
iii. Before servicing the equipment, always power down and
remove it from its installation site.
