Power and Attaching the SapIP-IRT
-
This section pertains to each of the three subsections above, and describes the basic attachment of the
cables and power up procedures of the SapIP-IRT.
-
Begin by attaching the charging cables ( note: each has a male connection on the SapIP-IRT):
-
First attach the (-) side of the solar panel to the black lead of the SapIP-IRT solar input (-).
-
Then attach the (+) side of the solar panel to the red lead of the SapIP-IRT input (+).
Warning:
The last 6 inches of the solar input and battery wire should be coiled into a loop so that
a drop of water entering the cable will not travel into the SAPIP-IRT. The drip loop should be
affixed with zip ties below the SapIP-IRT. We recommend that silicone glue is squeezed into the
jacket between the red/black wires.(10/14/2017 ECN)
Note: If one has zip-ties, wrapping them at various locations around the sensor cross-arm will
prevent any cable or wire slack while in the field.
-
Locate the golden male connection end at the top of the
SapIP-IRT and screw on the antenna. Apply some silicone
grease to the male threads to secure water tightness. An
illustration below provides an idea of where the fixture is that
the antenna will be screwed onto. See figure 7.
-
Now the customer is ready to power on the IRT. First,
identify the two wires pertruding from the bottom of the unit
(illustrated by the
red arrow
in figure 8) and the small white
terminals connected to the end of one wire (illustrated by the
black arrow in figure 8). This white connector will be the on
and off switch, which is a housing where one red wire will be
screwed into.
