Setting Up Your Equipment for Operation
4.1
Charge the Batteries
Using a mains battery charger, fully charge all 8 rechargeable batteries. These
are high capacity batteries, and depending on your battery charger, this may
take 24 to 48 hours, or in some cases longer.
Most customers will need to charge the batteries from time to time from the
mains, so it may be useful to use a fast charger to minimize the time the bat-
teries are out of the box.
Fit all the 8 charged batteries into the battery holders inside the Battery Box
(with polarity as shown on the holders).
4.2
Connect up the Nest Box and Electronic Battery Box
Open the nest box by removing the peg from the roof,
tilting out the top of the removable side panel, and
then lifting the panel away.
Plug one end of the black cable into the black
socket on the circuit board. You may find it
helpful to slide the circuit board out slightly to
do this.
Ensure that the camera is pointing towards the
base of the nest box, and then replace the side
panel, running the cable through the small gap at
the top back corner of the panel.
Open the front of the Electronic Battery Box.
Connect the other end of the cable coming from the Nest Box to the socket on
the circuit board attached to the front of the Battery Box.
Connect the white connector at the end of the cable coming from the solar
panel to either of the two matching connectors on the circuit board.
