Installing a console or Envoy in the shelter
For convenience, you can mount any Davis console or Envoy inside the Extra
Solar Panel shelter using the included 1/2'' pan head screws. Inside the shelter,
outlines of the Vantage Pro2 console, Vantage Vue console, and Envoy and marked
mounting holes will indicate where to mount your console or Envoy in the shelter.
Since there is no battery in an Extra Solar Panel Kit shelter, you will have to run
the power cable from the shelter to a power source. Use the oval and split
grommets as needed.
Mounting the Shelter
Choose a location for your shelter. It can be mounted on a pole or a flat surface
such as a wall or a wooden post.
It is important that the shelter be mounted so that the solar panel gets the greatest
amount of sunshine: the solar panel should be facing south (in the northern
hemisphere) or north (in the southern hemisphere).
Mounting on a Pole
Mount the shelter onto a pipe with an outside diameter of 0.84'' to 1.84'' (21 mm to
27 mm) using the U-bolts, backing plates, washers, and hex nuts provided.
Note: For mounting on larger diameter pipes, the housing can accommodate U-bolts with 5/6 ''
(8 mm) threads for pipes up to 2.40 '' (61 mm) outside diameter (not provided).
