FlowConnect
Tools and Materials:
Solar Panel kit (200.733.522 or 200.733.520)
7 mm socket driver
5-pin male to female extension cable
Use a hose clamp and 7 mm socket driver to attach the solar
panel to the top of the pole.
Orient the solar panel south so that it gets a maximum
amount of light.
Connect the extension cable to the solar panel. When you
are finished, the other end of the cable will be plugged into
the FlowConnect unit (see next section).
If you are also installing a rain gauge with a solar panel, they
should be mounted on the same pole, directly opposite

3: Installing a rain gauge
Tools and Materials:
Rain Gauge kit, model RG1
7 mm socket driver
7-pin male to female extension cable
Use a 7 mm socket driver and two hose clamps to secure the
rain gauge to the top of the pole such that the mouth of the
rain gauge is level with the end of the pole (Figure 12).
