Note:
All LEL Combustible Detectors must be powered be Solar Array Module. However, all
Toxic Detectors comes in as either Solar Powered or Internal Battery Powered. Solar
Powered detectors have a stainless Steel Power Receptacle on the side for power cable
connection from the Solar Panel. This connector is not available / installed if the
detector is internal battery operated.
Refer to Figure 8 below. Using a Pole Mount bracket with U-Bolt Assembly
install the Detector to a pole at appropriate height.
Similarly Using a U-Bolt install the solar Array Module if the detector is a solar
powered unit.
Typically for LEL Combustible Detector a 12 Volt 10 Watt Solar Array Module is
used, whereas for Toxic Detectors a 6 Volt 5 Watt Solar Module is used.
