Installing the Collector or Repeater
48 TDC-0971-011 CCU 100 and Repeater 100 Installation Guide
Proprietary and Confidential
3. Wire the five-conductor power cable to the solar cabinet, as shown in the Solar
Wiring Diagram on page 46. Use the watertight grommet supplied with the solar
cabinet.
• Red. Collector or repeater power +
• Black. Collector or repeater power -
• Green. Low battery indicator
• Orange. Solar ID_1
• White. Solar ID_2
4. Mount the collector or repeater in the desired location.
Note The supplied power cable from the solar battery box to the CCU/repeater is
only 12 feet long.
5. Place the 12V battery in the battery box.
6. Connect a ground wire to the collector grounding lug.
7. If required, connect the antenna and Ethernet cables to the CCU/repeater.
For instructions on installing the antennas, see Attaching the External GPS/WAN
Antennas on page 20.
8. Connect the power cable to the CCU.
To set array tilt and array azimuth angles using the PVWatts website
1. Go to http://gisatnrel.nrel.gov/PVWatts_Viewer/index.html.
2. Type the Zipcode, the Address, or the Coordinates for the solar installation and
click Go.
