Locate the Signal Head(s) and Sign
Before drilling any holes for mounting the signal head(s) or signs, do the layout for the locations
of the signal head(s) and sign at this time. See the layout in Figure 6 as an example.
Once the location of the signal head(s) and sign are determined, drill a hole to allow the wiring to
go from the lower signal head, through the pole, up to the solar module. The hole for the wiring
should be large enough to allow the use of a fish tape during installation.
Note: De-burr all wiring holes to eliminate any sharp edges that could damage the wires during
installation.
4.7
Wiring the Switch Enclosure
Use a fish tape to run the longest wire from the solar module head to the switch enclosure.
Carefully connect the switch enclosure wire to the wire running down from the solar module head
to the switch box through the mounting pole and then thread it into the pole so that it won’t be
pinched. Fasten the switch enclosure to the mounting pole.
Carefully thread the longest signal head wire through the mounting pole down to the location of
the lower signal head. Leave the wire dangling outside the pole. It will be used later when
installing the signal head.
4.8
Mounting the Head Assembly
Install the head assembly on the top of the pole before raising the pole into position (see Figure
8). Do this with caution so that the wiring is not pinched between the top cap and the pole.
Finger tighten the bolts that secure the top cap to the pole. Final tightening will happen at the end
after the solar panels are correctly oriented for maximum solar charging.
Note: If a 4” OD pole is being used, longer bolts will be required than those provided.
