on your application. Put a plastic cap on top of the rod to protect it.

4.Using a ring clamp, fasten the solar panel onto the aluminum rod. Ensure that the panel is facing south (north if you are located in the southern hemisphere) and out of the way of the addIT RTU.

Note: The solar panel can be mounted under or behind the addIT RTU, but be sure that the RTU does not shadow the panel.

5.Fasten the addIT RTU to the top of the rod using another ring clamp. Adcon recommends that you perform another connectivity test, if you can, to check the positioning of the device.

6.Attach the sensors to the I/O connectors and the solar panel to the POWER connector by turning the plugs’ fastening screws clockwise until secure.

WARNING If you turn the fastening screws too tightly, you could damage the plugs.

7.Secure the extra length of the sensor cables to the rod with ties.
