Mounting the Gateway - Solar Configuration
This section provides instructions for mounting the Gateway with
a solar configuration.
Mounting the Battery Box
Before installing a solar-powered unit, choose a non-shaded
location that faces true south. Determine true south by using a
magnetic compass corrected for magnetic declination. Refer
to "Facing True South" on page 77 of Appendix A.
The following instructions are for the installation of the battery
box needed for the solar panel of a Gateway solar-powered
system. If you are installing an AC-powered system, skip this step.
To mount the battery box, complete the following steps.
