model

 

comes

 

standard

 

with

 

a

 

small,

 

compact

 

10

and

 

mounting,

 

a

 

3

96

 

Ah

 

Lithium

 

battery,

 

and

 

a

 

solar

 

charger.

 

The

 

solar

 

panel

 

is

 

quick

 

to

 

install

 

and

 

should

 

suffice

 

in

 

most

 

installations.

Mounting

 

the

 

Solar

 

Panel

 

The

 

solar

 

panel

 

should

 

be

 

mounted

 

at

 

the

 

highest

 

point

 

on

 

the

 

pole,

 

optimally

 

10

‐

12

 

Feet

 

high.

 

Mount

 

the

 

sign

 

using

 

the

 

supplied

 

solar

part

 

bracket

 

allows

 

for

 

full

 

adjustment

 

in

 

order

 

to

towards

 

the

 

sun.

 

It

 

is

 

optimal

 

to

 

position

 

your

 

solar

 

panel

 

towards

 

due

 

Solar

 

South

 

(not

 

magnetic

 

South).

 

Solar

 

South

 

is

 

the

 

position

 

of

 

the

 

sun

 

in

 

sky

 

exactly

 

at

 

the

 

midpoint

 

between

 

sunrise

 

and

 

sunset.

 

See

for

 

techniques

 

on

 

how

 

to

 

determine

 

Solar

 

South

 

for

 

your

 

installation

 

site

 

.

 

The

 

solar

 

panel

 

should

 

be

 

angled

 

15

 

degrees

 

above

 

the

 

latitude

 

of

 

the

 

installation

 

site

 

which

 

can

 

be

 

readily

 

ascertained

 

from
