4.3 Installation
The following procedure describes the site preparation, construction of the
mounting base, and final wiring and checkout of the SPS.
4.3.1 Site Planning
The wind cone and SPS locations and mounting bases must be properly planned
prior to construction. Full sun exposure is critical to proper operation of the SPS.
Therefore, the SPS must be located on the south side of the wind cone in the
northern hemisphere, and on the north side of the wind cone in the southern
hemisphere.
The front of the solar panel must face the equator.
The SPS shall be located 8 to 15 feet from an L806 or L807 Size 1 wind
cone, and 12 to 15 feet from an L807 Size 2 wind cone.
Electrical cable to connect the wind cone to the SPS is supplied with the wind
cone (additional cable may be required). This cable is not suitable for direct
burial. The following instructions assume this cable is contained in 1 inch conduit
between the wind cone and the SPS, with 1 inch conduit elbows at each end.
Refer to the Installation Manual supplied with the wind cone for wind cone
installation procedures.
