4.0 Installation
4.1 Pole Preparation
1. Mark desired positions of cabinet and pole-mounted elements on pole.
2. Drill cable exit/entry points for pole-mounted elements as needed.
3. Fish AC input cable to cabinet or sign (depending on version).
4. Fish DC harness between power supply cabinet and SpeedCheck sign (if required).
5. Fish solar harness between top of pole to cabinet nipple hole (if required).
6. Fish flashing beacon harnesses between SpeedCheck conduit fittings and flashing beacon holes (if
required).
Use hose clamps for the initial setup and alignment of the display sign to determine proper
radar detection of oncoming vehicles. Adjust as necessary before permanently attaching the
display sign to the pole with banding or U-bolts.
for proper sign alignment with
respect to the roadway prior to permanently applying banding (for round pole applications).
Ensure the installation location has an unobstructed view of the sun’s path. Obstructions such
as trees or buildings could significantly reduce the amount of sunlight on the solar panel.
Shade analysis is highly recommended to understand how shadows will change according to
the time of year. Contact Carmanah for a detailed examination and solar simulation for your
site.
Ensure proper safety practices are observed and hazardous voltages sources are de-
energized before beginning work.
