Insert the bracket into the larger end of tilt arm as shown.
The solar panel may not stand on its own; be sure to
support it.
4
Insert the larger bolt and medium washer into the bottom
arc hole on the tilt arm, making sure it protrudes through
the hole in the bracket. Place a medium washer and large
lock washer on the end of the bolt inside of the bracket
and finger tighten. Repeat with one other bolt in the
bottom arc hole on the opposite side of the tilt arm. Do
not install the two other bolts in the remaining arc holes
yet because you will need the bracket to be moveable
when inserting the U-bolt in the next step.
5
Insert a U-bolt through the bottom two holes in the
bracket as shown below. Adjust the bracket as necessary
to fit the U-bolt through the holes. Return the bracket to
its perpendicular position against the tilt arm once the
U-bolt is in place.
6
Insert the remaining two larger bolts and medium
washers into the other arc hole on the tilt arm as done in
step 4. Place a medium washer and large lock washer on
the end of the bolts inside of the bracket and finger
tighten. Insert the other U-bolt through the bracket and
attach it to the mast as shown. Attach the U-bolt saddles
and move the bracket to the desired position on the mast.
Use a ½ inch wrench to tighten the flanged nuts on the U-
bolt assemblies.
7
To adjust the angle of the solar panel, loosen the bolts on
the tilt arm and reposition them in the arc holes. Adjust
the angle to maximize the amount of light directed at the
solar panel during periods of the shortest duration of
daylight. Once the solar panel is at the desired angle, use
two
½
inch wrenches to tighten the bolts (one to hold the
bolt head steady, the other to tighten the lock washer
inside the bracket).
8
Make sure the battery is connected in the HOBO station
and then plug the solar panel cable into the station’s
charging port. Refer to the HOBO station user’s manual at
www.onsetcomp.com/support/manuals for the location
of the charging port on the station. Use zip ties to secure
the cable against the mast.
