Then the LED will flash once every 48 seconds (the sensor transmission
update period).
3. Setting Started
3.1. Install U-bolts and mounting pole
Installation of the U-bolts, which are in turn used to mount the sensor
package on a pole, requires installation of an included metal plate to
receive the U-bolt ends. The metal plate, visible in Figure 3 has four holes
through which the ends of the two U-Bolts will fit. The plate itself is inserted
in a groove on the bottom of the unit (opposite side of solar panel). Note
that one side of the plate has a straight edge (which goes into the groove),
the other side is bent at a 90-degree angle and has a curved profile (which
will end up “hugging” the mounting pole). Once the metal plate is inserted,
insert both U-bolts through the respective holes of the metal plate as shown
in Figure 3.
Figure 3: U-Bolt installation
Loosely screw on the nuts on the ends of the U-bolts. You will tighten these
later during final mounting. Final assembly is shown in Figure 4.
