the LED will flash once every 48 seconds (the sensor transmission update
period).
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 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, 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.
