Because field operations don’t have to be chaotic
Quick Start Guide GT2
STEP 1: SELECT A MOUNTING LOCATION
1. Select a mounting location that provides the best view of the sky and the sun.
2. A flat horizontal mounting position (lying flat, facing skyward) is preferred but an
alternate mounting orientation might be necessary depending on application and
solar availability.
3. Vertical mounting orientations (solar panel side of device facing horizon) are
acceptable.
4. Recommended mounting area size is 8.5” L x 3.5” W (216mm L x 90mm W).
5. Thoroughly clean the mounting area, especially if using VHB mounting.
6. DO NOT PAINT OR COVER THE GT2. Doing so may negatively impact product
performance and battery life.
7. A covered or excessively dirty solar panel lens will reduce the GT2’s ability to
harvest solar energy. Sunlight limiting factors such as snow accumulation should
be considered when determining GT2 mounting orientation.
8. Fortypicalapplications,twohoursofdirectsunlightperdayishighlyrecommended.
For installations that do not require a protective bezel and that are isolated from abuse, extreme weather, and
temperatures, the GT2 has a pre-installed set of VHB adhesive pads that can be used to “peel and stick” to any clean
surface above 50°F (10°C). The Geoforce VHB Installation and Removal Guide MUST be followed to ensure proper
adhesion to the asset.
STEP 2: SELECT A MOUNTING METHOD
Additional information on each mechnical mounting method is available in the GT2 User Guide.
