3. Setting Started
3.1. Install U-bolts and mounting pole
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 1, 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 side of 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, remove nuts from the U-Bolts and insert both U-bolts through the
respective holes of the metal plate as shown in Figure 8.

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 9.
