2-1/2" METAL PIPE MOUNTING:
2-1/2" U-bolts should be fitted through the appropriate holes in the upper and lower mounting plates. All four nuts should be
snugged with equal thread engagement on each leg of the U-bolt. The nuts should then be evenly torqued to 12 lb-ft. Take care
not to over-tighten one side of the U-Bolts.
UTILITY / WOOD POLE MOUNTING:
Pick a safe pole location where the power cord can reach the input power source. Install the collector enclosure to the utility (or
other wooden) pole by utilizing the screws and the pre-drilled mounting plates located at the top and bottom of the collector
enclosure. Keep the box vertical / plumb as much as possible.
BAND-IT MOUNTING:
Band-It Mounting is used for pole mounting when the pole diameter exceeds 2-1/2". It is the most complex of the mounting
methods and is described in detail in Appendix I: Mounting unit with Band-It.
FLAT BUILDING MOUNTING
Attach the collector to flat surfaces (like building walls) using 3" or longer lag bolts (LB in Figure 5) through the predrilled holes of
the mounting plates. The bolts should be initially tightened down to where the head is flush with the mounting surface of the
bracket. The bolt should then be tightened 1/8 extra turn.
