Position the solar panel on the pole and secure with
the clamps.
DO NOT ATTACH THE SOLAR PANEL CABLE TO THE REGULATOR AT THIS

GROUNDING THE SYSTEM
An external earth ground wire MUST be attached between the earth grounding system and
the LT1 SYSTEM to provide protection from lightning and other electrostatic discharge.
Be aware that the composition of the substrate directly affects the efficiency of the earth
ground; areas with a low conductive substrate such as rock, sand, ice may require more
than one grounding rod.
IMPORTANT!
FTS recommends that you consult a qualified professional to ensure
adequate earth ground protection is installed for the site and that all local regulations
are met.
Set up the earth-ground system and secure the free eye of the LT1 Ground Cable 2 to the
grounding system.
