Appendix B. PS24 24 Ahr Power Supply and 10 x 12 inch Enclosure

B.2 Installation

The PS24 is purposely shipped without the battery mounted
in its bracket. Do not install the battery until instructed to do
so.

1. Place the top enclosure bracket on the pole at approximately 40 inches

above the bottom of the pole. The bracket should be installed with the
hook side up, and facing north.

2. Slide the strut clamps into the bracket as shown in FIGURE B-4. Tighten

the clamp so that it doesn’t move.

Do not over tighten the clamp!
