2.2.1 Charging the Battery
CAUTION
If you are using two 12 V batteries ensure both batteries are
fully charged before installation. You risk blowing a fuse if one is
depleted and one is charged. The batteries cannot have more than 1 V
difference in charge when connected.
We recommended that you charge the battery prior to installation
using the PSA040 battery charger.
2.3 Assembling the Solar Bracket
Assemble the bracket and mount the solar panel following the
manufacturer’s instructions included with the SLP003 Solar Panel and
Mount. (MTS-SP200)
The bracket is supplied with round U-bolts which do not mount to the
TRP019. They mount to a pipe. Square U-bolts are included for use
when mounting to a TRP019.
Ensure that the angle of the panel on the bracket will be close to the
desired angle on the pole. Solar tilt will need to be calculated using
your location and can be adjusted throughout the year for optimal
sunlight exposure.
