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 using the U-bolts, backing plates,
washers, and hex nuts provided.
Note: Use the smaller U-bolts on a pole with an outside diameter of 0.84'' to 1.84'' (21 mm
to 47 mm). For mounting on square perforated tubing or larger diameter poles up to
1.94'' (49 mm) outside diameter, use the larger U-bolts.
