1. Drill an 20mm hole in the pole (minimum
15cm down from the top of the pole) on the
same side that the camera will be mounted.
This is for the solar panel cable and plug
to run through. The position of the hole will
vary depending on what position on the
pole the camera is to be mounted. If using
the optional tilt pole, this hole will be pre-
drilled,
2. Feed the power cable and plug connected
to your solar panel through the hole.
3. Place the solar panel bracket on top of the
pole, pointing north.
• Note:
If you need to cover a different area
with the light beam, keep the panel flat after
repositioning.
4.
Securely fasten the included grub screws
to the bracket. Tighten the locking bolts to
prevent the grub screws from loosening.
(Fig. 2.4b)
• Note:
For poles greater than 4m in height,
tapered poles are preferable for camera
stability and pole strength.
