required height
(2543mm from
ground level to give
a height of 2100mm
to the base of the
Pulsa) -
Surface protect

column base, fi x the
regulator board in
the base with the
8mm hex screw
supplied.
At this point ensure
that the root of the
column base will
not fi ll with rising

risk of this, create a drain hole in the column
near ground level in order to protect the batter-
ies from water ingress.

make the connections. Please ensure that the
connections are made in the following order :
1. Battery 2. Load 3. Solar panel.
