Weather Protection
To better protect the Ethernet cable gland and the antenna connector from the weather, you need to cover them
with PVC tape.
1. Clean the surface area of the connector that will be wrapped. Wrap a layer of PVC tape with a 50% overlap
according to the rotation direction of the connector. Continue wrapping the PVC tape to about 10 mm below the
end of the connector.

2. Cut off about 50 cm waterproof tape. Stretch it to double the length. Wrap three layers around the connector
with a 50% overlap. Hold the tape in place with your hand for a few seconds.
Figure 17: Wrapping with waterproof tape
3. Wrap three additional layers with PVC tape with natural uncoiling force and a 50% overlap. Make sure to cover
the head and the tail of the connector.

Installation Guide
1. Install the bolts in the holes which are circled in red in the following image below. This will make an "H-shaped"
base, for the Solar Panel to be mountable on the top. The circular pipe in the middle of the shape is meant to fit
over a circular shaped pole, so the whole construction sits on top with the panel facing upwards on an angle.
📝
NOTE
Tighten the nuts and make sure that the rails that make up the base are holding tight against each other.
Voltage at Pmax (Vmp) 18 Volts
Current at Pmax (Imp) 2.2 - 5.5 Amperes
Open Circuit Voltage (Voc) 21.6 Volts
Short Circuit Current (Isc) 2.3-6.5 Amperes
Nominal Output Current 2 Amperes
Capacity 50 Ah (Ampere-hour)
Charge Voltage 18 Volts

2. Mount the battery on top of the two parallel rails in the middle. Make sure it is as close as possible to the middle
of the construction. Fasten it to the rails with four bolts, each having a washer and a nut. Refer to the image
below on how to insert the bolts into the railing that is part of the bottom of the battery casing.
⚠
WARNING
Tighten the bolts as possible as the battery is quite heavy.
