POW Metron4 M4/SOL-SYS User manual

The inputs shown in the blue box
connect directly to the inputs in the
yellow box on the Metron4 above
Run the sensor cable(s) through the
lower unit’s glands.
Unplug the green connector(s) and
wire in as required.
Plug the connector(s) back into the
correct input channel and ghten the

gland.
Reaach all lids and take care to
ghten screws to ensure waterproof
IP67 rang is maintained.
3. Mount the Metron 4
Ideally a flat surface such as a
wall/ DIN railing/ Unistrut railing.
Avoid mounng inside metal
cabinets or underground (could
reduce signal).
There are pre-drilled holes for
easy mounng.
4. Connect the B attery
2. Mount the Solar Panel
Solar panel comes aached to a
mounng bracket. The panel must
face directly south and have a view of
at least 100° of unobstructed sky.
The panel should be lted at an angle
10° to 15° plus the site’s latude from
the horizontal to achieve maximum
sun exposure (example overleaf).
The higher the cell, the beer.
Ensure the highlighted switch is
posioned at Solar.
Remove the white plasc cover
from the baery terminals.
Use the loose black and red wires
and slide on to connect to the
baery terminals.
Maintain polarity:
to (-). to (+).
5. Connect the Sensor(s)
1. Unpack & Open Up the Metron4
Place unit on a flat surface.
To open, loosen the 2
nylon screws in the
boom corners of the
Metron4 and 4 screws
