on your application. Put a plastic cap on top of the rod to
protect it.
4. Using a ring clamp, fasten the solar panel onto the aluminum
rod. Ensure that the panel is facing south (north if you are
located in the southern hemisphere) and out of the way of the
addIT RTU.
Note: The solar panel can be mounted under or behind the addIT
RTU, but be sure that the RTU does not shadow the panel.
5. Fasten the addIT RTU to the top of the rod using another ring
clamp. Adcon recommends that you perform another
connectivity test, if you can, to check the positioning of the
device.
6. Attach the sensors to the I/O connectors and the solar panel
to the POWER connector by turning the plugs’ fastening screws
clockwise until secure.
WARNING If you turn the fastening screws too tightly, you could
damage the plugs.
7.
Secure the extra length of the sensor cables to the rod with
ties.
