Mount the Node
The Node can be mounted on a pole or a flat surface such as a wall or a wooden
post.
It is important that the Node be mounted so that the solar panel gets the greatest
amount of sunshine -- the solar panel should be facing south (in the Northern
Hemisphere) or north (in the Southern Hemisphere).
Tip:
Mounting the Node may be easier if done by two people.
Mounting On a Fence Post or Pole
Mount the Node onto a fence post or a pole with an outside diameter of 0.84'' to
1.84'' (21 mm to 27 mm) using the U-bolts, backing plates, washers, and hex nuts
provided.
Note:
For mounting on larger diameter pipes, the housing can accommodate U-bolts with
5/6
''
(8 mm) threads for pipes up to 2.40
''
(61 mm) outside diameter (not provided).
