Local weather patterns, shading, or other environmental factors may require different adjustments and affect performance. To use the so“ or 70“ angle ofadjustment, first configure the main solar panel as follows: 1, Remove the four screws securing the electronics compartment. 2, Lower the compartment to the bottom set of mounting holes, and secure it using the four screws. SolarBearn Quick Start Guide Installation Overview Installatlon includes the following: - Hardware Installation Mount the solar panel(s). - Connecting the SolarBeam Connect the cables. - Accessing the Configuration Interface Configure settings, Hardware Installation Ifyou have 587002 or 5870073, install the main solar panel first before installing the other panels. You have two options, pole or wall mounting. Proceed to the instructions foryour option. Pole Mounting 1. Attach two Pole clamps to the top and bottom ofthe Mounting Bracket, For each clamp: a. Hold the Mounting Bracket with its clamps facing you and the Angle Indicator: towards the bottom. b. Insert the two Carriage Bolts through the holes of the Mounting Bracket, c, Slide the hole of the Pole Clamp over one bolt ofthe Mounting Bracket. d. Place one Flat Washer, Split Lock Washer, and Hex Nut on each bolt. f , x / a .. f t, v 04 Note: In highrwlnd environments, you can add support with a Pole Clamp (also Included) in the mlddle, Hardware Installation 2, Mount the Mounting Bracket on the pole and secure it. a, Place the Mounting Bracketagainst the pole, b, Slide the slot of each Pole Clamp over the adjacent Carriage Bolt. ct Tighten the HexNuts ofthe bolts to 25 N -m to secure the Mounting Bracket to the pole. Note: The mounting assembly can accommodate a W 381-1015 mm (1.5" - 4,0") pole. SalarBeam Quick Stan Guide Ifyou added the third Pole Clamp for additional support in high-wind environments, then thefinished mounting assembly with three Pole Clamps will look like this: \ \ Hardware Installation 3, Attach the Strut to the Mounting Bracket using two Flat Washers and Brackersaewst Hand-tighten onlyt 4 Insert the Panel into the Mounting Bracket and Strut SalarBeam Quick Start Guide 5, Attach the Panel to the Mounting Bracket and Strut using four Flat Washers and Bracket Screw; Hand-tighten only. \* /”,~ ‘ ~_\ J? i w I 7x 64 Adjust the angle ol the Panel based on your latitude (referto the Installation Guidelines section on page 5). Then tighten the six Bracket Screws to 17 N -m Connecting the SolarBeam Connecting the SolarBeam Before you begin, unscrew the thumbscrews to remove the port cover. When you have finished your connections, hand—tighten the grommets and replace the port cover. Connecting to an External Battery (Optional) You can use flexible conduit or an optional cable gland (not included) for your connection to an external battery. 1. Punch out the V1“ NPT (M20) cutout on the bottom ofthe electronics compartment to allow the (able feed. SclarBeam QulKk Stan Gulde 2. Feed 3 DC cabre (not included, maximum size: MAWG) through the hole and wire to the ExtBart terminal block, I I O I‘l'. WARNING: We strongly recommend that you add an appropriate DC breaker Unterrupter) between the Ext Battvbart terminm block and external battery to increase safety during instauat‘ron or maintenance. Suggested breaker rating: 3ovocnoA. 3. Wire the other end to an external battery. 4. Feed the induded NTC Thermistor through the hole and wire it to the Tbatrterminal block. (You can use a cape to extend the NTC The/mister as needed.) f.|_.-._ 5. Attach the other end of the NTC Thermistarto your battery. Canneflmg the SclavBeam Connecting to the DC Output (Optional) Nate: Ensure that your network device supports the supplied voltage 1, Remove the FUSE to disable the DC output, 2, Feed the included DC Cable through the grommet and wire it to the Z4l/DC Output terminal block. 3. Wire the othev end of the cable to a network device that supports the supplied voltage. 4, Replace the Fuse to enable the DC output. SclavBeam QuKk Stan Gulde Connecting Ethernet Nate: Ifyou are using TOUGHCaMe, we recommend attaching the TOUGHCabIe ConnectorKS) after you Insert the cable(s) into the grommet. 1. Rotate the grommet cover counterdockwise to remove it. 2. Remove the grommet from the SolarBeam. Connemng the SclarBeam 3. Slide the grommet cover over the Ethernet cable, and then (it the grommet overthe cable. Note: If you are connecting two Ethernet cables, then use the doublercable grommet (pie—installed). If you connecting only a single Ethernet cable, then use the included Single—Cable Grommet instead. ms: 4. Connect the Ethernet cablels) to the LAN portls). 5. Replace the grommet and rotate the grommet cover clockwise to secure it. 6. Connect the other ends of the cables to POE network devices.
