Install Pyranometer sensor on the leveling plate and secure with bottom screw.
Install Pyranometer leveling plate on top of the mounting bracket, leave the inner screws loose for
now.
Install leveling assembly and bracket onto the cross arm opposite the GMX600 transmitter. The
u-bolts can be tightened after you level the plate roughly. Now adjust the Allen (hex) set screws
to level the bubble in the leveling plate, then tighten the inner fixing screws with a screwdriver.
Install lightning rod ( if applicable) on the pole mast.
Rotate the threads and make sure the reducer coupling is holding both 2” and 1” pipes firmly.
Lightning Rod:
Position the lightning rod 4” down from the top of the mast, attach lightning rod
to the mast and make sure the lightning rod set screw is tight.
Grounding:
Slide the clamp down the ground rod before driving it in the ground. Drive Ground
rod close to the mounting pole using a fence post driver or sledgehammer. In hard soils use water
to prime the soil and hole to make driving the rod easier.
Loosen bolt that attached clamp to the ground rod. Draw Ground wire (Green) from the
InteliMet Advantage 6 enclosure and insert it between the rod and the clamp. Tighten the
clamp bolt.
3.2.2 Solar Panel Installation
Solar panel without regulator model (MSX-xx) is shipped with InteliMet. A 15’ cable is attached to
the solar panel and the other end of the cable must be connected to the pigtail hanging from the
InteliMet Advantage 6 conduit labeled “Solar Panel”. Mount solar panel to the mast, facing south (in
northern hemisphere) Position solar panel mounting at the top of the 1 ¼” diameter section of the
mast. Install U-bolt muffler clamp and nuts. Solar panel should be oriented to receive maximum
insolation over the course of the year. Below table lists tilt angles at various latitudes. Once the tilt
angle is determined, loosen two bolts that attach mounting bracket to the panel. Adjust the angle and
finally tighten the bolts as shown below.
